My goodness. Are you not aware that the music industry is imploding due to music piracy.
Now, what I'm talking about is the music industry. A lot of fat rich guys who don't know how to play an instrument will be out of the game. It might just be that it's more possible for quality artists to get their work to more people now more than ever, but at the same time that probably means those artists will need to think about how they intend to pay their bills, because performing music will probably not be the way.
This is actually not true. The model was broken. Piracy actually showed media industries how consumers want to consume their media. People will pay for a good service, even if they can get the same service for free.
That's why Netflix has 40 million subscribers. That's why spotify has 8 million subscribers. And beats music. And the reason that singles sell millions of copies of iTunes and other services. Piracy is negligent. The people who pirate are either people who don't have good access or wouldn't pay for the product anyways.
