How has the music industry been affected by the internet and digital downloading?
As the world progresses, internet power is handed over to people and the digital music downloads and sharing of files has become so common that the business in the music industry has started deteriorating and they are losing money really fast. This project came into my concern since the available number of musicians and their music genres on the internet is very high. A few megabytes and the song is already on your digital device and all qualities are available without using a lot of money to access the music. The expense an artist uses is so much and there is no profit to gain after the music is produced and probably it might not hit. I anticipate joining the music industry that is why this topic is of my major concern. The main issue in question is how has the music industry been affected by the internet and
digital downloading?

In this article, a lady, Jamie Thomas-Rasset was accused by the Recording Industry Association of America, a trade organization that supports major music industries, that he had been pirating music and uploading them on the internet. She was fined a large amount of money per song and this shows how serious the digital downloading of music has affected the music industry and has become an offense to share the music online. This source shows the seriousness of the effect of digital download on the music industry and how the industry has gone ahead to appeal to the law courts as an offense to share the music online since their revenue is being affected greatly.
