Document Summary
Youtube is bad too, always enforcing the use of ads. Apple music and tidal are premium based without ads and are trying to be more artist- friendly. Streaming royalties are only decliningartists are making less and less for their work. Audio releases are making less money for artists, so they"re having to shift their focus to touring and in-person appearances to make substantial money. Listeners are just used to free music at this point. Google is the most influential company in the music industry. Songwriters are making way less now due to the low streaming royalties. Performing artists often write themselves onto the list of songwriters, even if they didn"t write anything, just for royalties. Torrent: pirated media, whether it be music, television shows, or movies. Music is everywhere, so people feel entitled to have it essentially for free. Trends media: music is no longer just music, it is inherently linked to other forms of media as everything merges.
