The world is going to internet for music
why because ya can hack music.
I don’t do this
the laws are not easy to understand by internet
folks. so this will lead to a shut down on A&R and major music companies
music & movies tours can’t pay everyone.
they need cd sales.Mass Merchants are not doing so well
infact the artist are holding back
or just letting go.
money talks in music world
but less money to go around.
