The twin pillars that upheld it; the reliance of artists on record labels to produce music, and consumer demand for cassettes\/CD\u2019s, have crumbled at alarming speed under the weight of file sharing and distribution of content, and although efforts have been made by these companies to embrace the internet age and find ways to charge for digital music, the industry still rests on precarious foundations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While the internet has disadvantaged record labels, it is important to remember it hasn\u2019t necessarily been a negative to the music industry. To the contrary, British artists such as Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and even American superstars such as Justin Bieber (my personal favorite) can be thankful to the internet for their current career success.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Self-made artists can now upload audio and use media platforms such as YouTube and MySpace to broadcast their talent to millions of people at virtually no cost. In my view, this can only be positive for music and society as a whole and makes you wonder how many stars have been missed in the last 50 years due to the costs attached to recording and distributing music<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In fairness the current situation is not nearly so bad as it was before the music industry began to officially embrace the concept of &#8220;<em>music files<\/em>&#8221; and internet sharing with Apple&#8217;s iPod and other similar devices.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately it took the music companies almost a decade to adapt and by then the problem had become obvious for all to see. Today consumers have more affordable choices, from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong> to <strong>Spotify<\/strong>, though problems with staggered release cycles, DRM and international licensing restrictions remain.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly a similar issue also exists within the film industry, which is only now beginning to catch-up (e.g. LOVEFiLM), although it too suffers from issues related to staggered international release cycles, affordability and licensing restrictions that can make it difficult to access new or foreign content online. We suspect that <strong>Rights Holders<\/strong> would be making a lot more money if they addressed this.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile any related restrictions remain incredibly easy to circumvent and appear to have little impact upon the site itself, except for educating consumers in how to avoid skin-deep ISP based censorship systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business ISP Fluidata has criticised the UK music industry for forcing the country&#8217;s big broadband providers into blocking access to The Pirate Bay website, which is accused of facilitating unlawful P2P internet piracy, instead of updating their own &#8220;out of date&#8221; business models to address the real problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[473,110,86,46,90],"class_list":["post-1056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-censorship","tag-fluidata","tag-law","tag-internet-piracy","tag-p2p"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
