I have been reading up on the music industry lately. It seems that the internet has forever changed how the music industry will operate. The transition online for the music industry has been a very painful one. Still problems loom over them as they try to come to terms with music piracy and other issues. The unfortunate thing for them is that the internet as most of us well know, is constantly changing.

Until they can come to grips with how to operate online presently, there will be little hope for them in the future as more and more changes come down the pipe online.

People have asked the question- does the internet hurt or help them? Well for one, they have to operate online, so they must adapt. If they would have had a choice my opinion is that they should have run as far away from the net as possible. Sales with CD’s used to be great, now sales are terrible, especially considering that 90% of the music downloaded online is done illegally.

So good luck to the music giants out there, their transition to doing things on the web has gone terribly wrong. Maybe someone will help them and fast. What can we do? Stop downloading music illegally for one…
