Inside The Music Industry

4 Reasons Why This is the Worse Times Ever in the Music Industry

#1  People believe it’s OK to copy your music and share it with the world for FREE.  P2P downloads have cost the music industry billions of dollars and it is on the rise.  The majority of people feel it’s their right to do so but for some reason, it’s not OK to do the same with software.  What gives?

#2 A Million song sharks online.  Today, you will find a million websites claiming they can get your music into major motion pictures, TV shows, major labels, etc for a small fee.  Unfortunately, the majority of these companies can do about as much as you can to get your music there.  Most of these companies are getting rich off of independent artists who have no chance of their music ever getting to these places!

#3 Too Much Music is Available!  Huh?  The digital age has spawned a revolution of music to be totally global.  Instantly, somewhere in TinBuckTo can get access to your music.  With 100 million artists online, how can anyone break through the crowd?  The industry is so saturated now more than ever before.  Everybody wants to be a rock star?  What happened to being a fireman, lawyer, teacher, etc?

#4  Too Many Musicians are Broke Now? Why?  Technology?  I believe technology is a major reason for this.  With the rise of software programs, too many computer musicians are popping up.  Sad but true, many fans are being subjected to very crappy music day in and day out and technology is the blame.  These lack of musically educated computer musicians are allowing the software to make the music and it’s killing the musicianship.  Ever wonder why the old school stuff still sounds so great today!  They didn’t rely on technology to make their music for them.  Use the tools don’t allow the tools to use you.  Besides, the only ones who are getting rich today are the manufacturers.
