The music industry has changed drastically in the last couple of years and its all thanks to the advancement of the media. Many artist are not able to make the great amount of money they used to make before because it is so easy for the public to get access to the music without paying for it. Before, the public only had the chance to buy a whole entire album but now with the helo of Apple, we can now buy the songs we choose to listen to. Apple also boughy Beats music for a couple of billion dollars which have allowed the public to listen to a lot of new music for the price of $10 a month. With apple creating Apple Music we no longer have to download music through illegal applications or have to spend a dollar and some change on every single song we want to listen to. Although Apple music is more beneficial to the public, artist are actually losing money because they are not getting a good pay for their music being out there. Taylot Swift actually tweeted to Apple stating that the public should not be getting the first three months of subscription for free as that was hurting up and coming new artist. Apple listened to Taylor and is now not allowing for people to obtain the first three months free. I think Artist are not as well respected as they once were. Now you don’t even need a record label in order to put your music out there and although it is beneficial for many talented artist out there it is lowering the worth of those artist who were used to getting payed a great amount of money for their work. Artist now have to work so much harder to get payed well and get what they deserve as talented individuals.
