State Of The Music Industry

 State Of The Music Industry 

In today's class we discussed the state of the music industry and the ways that it has changed throughout the years :

 





- We realized that a majority of people in the class do not pay for music and mainly turn to  online downloads.

- As people download music illegally it is creating many financial problems for record labels and artists. This means they have to come up alternative ways in making more money.

- Artists now are signing 360 degree deals. This is something new that artists such as 'Jay-Z' and 'Madonna' have signed. It involves merchandising, clothes ranges, headphones and perfume deals and many other things.
