Music on the Internet
Today, the Internet offers the opportunity, without prior independent music will find an audience. Unsigned soloists, singers and groups are now a fan base, which not only hear their music, but for the purchase of MP3 files. It is undisputed that the network has a paradigm shift in the way we live our lives. We depend on the Internet for communication, the collection of information, shopping and much more. With the introduction of what is generally known under the name of 2.0 network, the Internet has once more what can best be summed up with one word: democratization. For example, journalists are no longer members, the media, they are the blogs to break and some of the best features of the day. The experts are no longer sit in their ivory tower and publication of articles in scientific journals, the members of your family, neighbours and work colleagues constantly fine-tuning the collection of expertise known as the “Wikipedia. Throw in MySpace, YouTube, and on other sites of social networks and the top-down structure of the information is launched through the window, through a bottom-up approach, moving the base.
Nowhere is this obvious that the revolution in the music industry. The Internet has not in the industry rockin ‘and will - it sent him to move. Napster, the progenitor sharing of music over the Internet, as is now ancient history, but the uprising is always alive. While iTunes is there to stay, some manufacturers of hard drives their resistance against the opportunities that the Internet offers, instead of distributing only in the music through traditional sources. During the first part of October, these dinosaurs with another challenge to their survival, as came out, Radiohead’s long-awaited “In Rainbows” on the website of the group. The kick? Fans could be online downloads free, or to pay as much or as little as they wanted. This is a business model that the industry of music traditionally used. Prior to the use of the Internet, the musicians and singers have the pavement to beat by the demos of the music labels and radio stations, hoping to break through the big time. Today, however, the independent music can be a page from Radiohead playbook, and speak directly to the potential listeners and fans. Because the music of websites specializing in the market came to value independent music and musicians, the interpreter, the artist, tapes and a platform for the promotion of their work. These websites offer MP3 files for less than the cost of iTunes, to support the work of the artist, a division of 50-50. This is in contrast to the initial treated, the music labels give even the hottest bands, which usually receive only about 20 percent of revenue through their music. From the perspective of fans of music, the music independent websites are a dream that becomes a reality. In the mainstream music, a very large amount of talent is dominated by labels for the “packaging” of the actions that may be how the revenue. Today, thanks to the Internet, music fans around the world can hear songs and the experience that would otherwise never have found an audience.
