2012 was considered Katy Perry’s best year, musically speaking. She became the second person to have five #1 hits from one album, behind only Michael Jackson. The album also spurred 8 top five hits, an accomplishment that has only happened to three albums beforehand. Perry’s album, Teenage Dream, sold over 3 million copies and sold over 24 million singles. All these great accomplishments would lead anyone to think that Capitol, her record company, had to be rolling around in the dough. However, the podcast shatters that image from the get-go and sets out to show why. For years we’ve heard the record companies complain about Pandora, Spotify, even iTunes the now universal go-to place for music, but I never knew why they were complaining. We’ve

Every adult, over the age of 18, has seen the changes the music industry has gone through since the introduction of the internet, digital downloading, and online streaming. We have heard that Tapes, CDs, MP3s, and the internet were going to destroy the industry. Have they destroyed it yet? According to Ian Morris, Author of the article, "Technology is Destroying the Music Industry, Which is Great for the Next Taylor Swift", music is changing but the only thing the internet is destroying are the record labels. Which he explains as a good thing for the industry. Morris talks about the roles the record label plays and why it 's on the way out. The biggest change in music since the internet was the development of Napster. 2014 marked fifteen years after the rise and fall of this online file sharing platform. The article "15 years After Napster: How the Music Service Changed the Industry", by Alex Suskind, talks about the failed program and why the biggest change in the music industry made record labels scared. So what does this all mean and why should people care? Well for starters when it comes to musicians and record labels, the company makes most of the money, as well as most of the decisions. Music was never meant to be something that was used for money. Music is made enjoyment and should be shared without extensive rules and regulations. Music existed before man and will exist after. It is not something that should be governed by big companies looking to make money. The
Many artists and record companies do not think that it is a good thing to have their music available for free because they feel that they will lose a lot of money. The thing that they need to realize is that technology is only going to get better and they need to use it
The United States Navy is perhaps the most powerful naval force there could exist in the face of earth, furthermore, the aspect that outshines the most from the honorable organization would be its history.

As a company in the streaming music Industry, it is essential to have a competitive advantage in order to stay in the run.

In the streaming music Industry, it is easier for clients to make implicit bargaining. Indeed, the more subscribers a company has, the more music labels will be in
In the music industry, there are several methods of sharing content. Between playing live shows, producing physical records, and now, streaming over music streaming services, artists and musicians from around the world contribute to the entertainment industry each day; however, in light of today’s technological age, more and more content is being shared and consumed through the later.

Due to the lack of clear guidelines governing the problem governing the royalty payment rates in the industry, there have been a high number of protests against the low rates and a lot of debate going on in this regard. Some companies came together to protest against Pandora, as it was not paying any royalties for music that was created before 1972, as there was no obligation to do so in the Federal Copyrights law (Dolmetsch, Fixmer, 2014).
The "business side of music is struggling to generate enough revenue because of the new technology" ("How the Internet Changed Music."). "Most of the people who are part of making a record are paid in royalties, and anytime music changes hands without money being involved, those royalties can’t be paid—which is why so much has been done in recent years to try and reduce music piracy"("How The Internet Changed Music."). iTunes and Amazon has helped by offering cheap downloads for single songs, which allows the customer to only purchase songs they like rather than the entire album ("How the Internet Changed Music."). Spotify and Pandora, who offer either ad-based or paid subscription streaming of their music libraries, are Internet radio stations which have also helped with the piracy problem ("How The Internet Changed
The music industry is an oligopoly. Since the late 1800’s people like Thomas Edison have been buying up patents in communication technology, forming monopolies, leading to a non-competitive entertainment industry. With only a handful of corporations controlling all aspects of acquisition, distribution and marketing of music, harsh business principles create an exploitative industry that takes the best of what artists have to offer and leaves many of them unable to support themselves. Beginning in the 1950’s with payola and white cover music and ultimately evolving into iTunes and Spotify, the music industry has grown into a billion dollar industry with far-reaching influence and control. Contracts rarely serve the artists’ best interest and many are left out to dry when their usefulness has expired.
