The music industry has been suffering for the past couple of decades thanks to piracy; the advent of the internet and cheaper devices has only made the situation worse. The problem arises when one person manages to upload the song to the internet and a million people download it for free. This way they enjoy the song for free. For the people who download it its just one simple song which they feel wont create much of an impact. But in reality it’s the producer and artist who lose a lot of money. Image this situation, a producer invests a lot of money into a specific artist and to get back all his money he needs to sell the CD for a dollar and he has to sell 1 million copies. Now what happens if one person buys it and lets other people download it for free? It is the producer who loses money and he won’t invest in this sector the next time thanks to piracy. This means that new artists will never get a proper chance to showcase their talent. Producers stick to only major players in this sector. The major players are those artists, who guarantee a good return to an investment. So the next time you decide to download a free music album think about the people who actually suffer.
