Its kind of funny, cause this topic remind me a several discussion with my brother who has 34 years old. He always says that internet and piracy are killing the music industry and he always want to protect the composer and musician.
I still remember when my dad bougth more than 100 cd to listen music, I think he spend more than Q20,000.00 on it, but when Ipod came , wow He got crazy with that, he totally forgot his cd and start to download music, at that time I think he used to download on Nero.
In the other hand, you know I work in the show bussines, since 2000 year the price of one performance get really high, now if you want to higher an artist you have to pay like US100,000.00 or US200,000.00. Can you imagine it!!!
For example the last saturday Miguel Bose he asked US$125,000.00 + air ticket + hotel + etc. So I dont think the music industry is dying. they continues having a great job and a lot of money.
Everything changes... everything! And the music industry too. I agree with Fernando on what has to do with music industry: It is not it is dying but changing. I remember when I was a teenager I loved to hear music on the radio. I was used to buy cassettes and playing them in my radio recorder or in my walkman (some years later). But nowadays almost nobody uses such devices.
ReplyDeleteThe new generations of singers and musicians are moving to the Internet. They have grown up in the digital age. They understand and live in a new highly developed environment. They want their music be heard. They know the Internet is where everybody gets into every day. So they are finding ways to take advantage of the digital age.
Music Industry is very successful nowadays I agree that is changing and it is normal because it is very related to technology. It is really impresive to think how expensive a concert is, but also is unbelievable to know that here, in Guatemala it is possible to hire singers and musicians at that cost, it is a lot of money, dont you think...
ReplyDeleteAnyway Music Industry will continue alive forever.
