"The Internet Killed the Music Industry"

No, Stevie. I don't think it has killed the music industry. If forced it to evolve. But yes, I agree with her that it is indeed harder for new talent to break out. |

What I mean with that is people have to try harder to stand out now than ever before. Though I also love how these up and comers now have more easier, cheaper means to bring their music out to their audience.

Part of the consequence of people's unprecedented ease of access to music from every era all over the world is that there isn't going to be any single band or artist that everyone is listening to, as there was in the 70s. I think a huge chunk of the reason that few artists reach FM's level of superstardom is simply the sheer vastness of customer choice available now, and I wish that was acknowledged a bit more.

Imagine if the Mac went indie and sold their music through the Internet (but I don't think that will happen). They're gonna need to beef up their online presence though.

It's sort of like having cable channels. More to choose from, hard to find good quality. |

I'm not saying there aren't advantages, but I do think the industry as a whole took a hit. |

Imogen Heap made some interesting comments a while back: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10220002 I think CADreaming's statement that speaking very generally, the music scene has taken a hit in some ways, is fair enough. I still think Stevie grossly oversimplifies it though. |
They've killing themselves for the last 25 years of producing rubbish which is not worth the penny to buy their recordings.
Stop coming up with throwaway manufactured artists like they have today and from the last 20 or so years. Maybe I will consider buying music again. As I see it the music industry died in the 1990's way before the internet was popular. The evolution of rap music did not help it but made it worst. They did it to themselves without coming up with the idea like iTunes ,Amazon and Pandora Radio way before Napster,Limewire, WinMX and what ever else of PtoP sharing came about in the late 1990's to the early 2000's. The overpriced $16 bucks for a CD did not help them and made fans to freeload their music illegally from those p to p sites . The last CD that I purchase other then Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac was a Faith Hill CD for my late sister for Christmas in 2006. The last CD for myself was Stevie's IYD in 2011. Plus another thing which turns me off digital only downloads like FM's EP with inferior compressed sound quality.If they have posted Wave or Flac formats I would be happy with that. Yes they some good artists in the last 25 years but not many as they were in the 1950's to the 1980's. I do understand Stevie's side of this matter of internet freeloaders since it does rip her and others off . Also the record industry has to stop ripping off the artists and give them what they deserve for their work. Stevie should teach these younger artists to sing and write quality music instead of crap they are putting out today. |
