Currently, I am keeping a list of songs that I want to get for my music collection. Unfortunately for the music business, I am not planning on paying for the music, but instead downloading it illegally. The reason I am able to do this is because of the Internet. The music industry is suffering because the downloading of music is so accessible and easy to everyone. With the click of a button, any song can be found and obtained, without any profit going to the music business that produced it. This system is making the music less authentic, because it is free of charge. Not only is downloading of music happening, but people are making their own music. Some are original, but many are just re-makes and remixes of songs that already exist. I think this way of obtaining music goes hand-in-hand with the idea that superstardom is no longer possible I today’s society. The lack of originality and the amount of availability contribute to deteriorate the music industry in various ways.
