Youtube killed the video star: How artists are making it today

         A lot of these muscial artists are making it because of you tube. Most of the consumer listens to artist songs on youtube before actually buying the cd, in which this can be bad because if the songs are horrible the consumers are not going to purchase the cd.
          Youtube is very big. Thanks to Youtube,people don't have to leave their homes and try out for anything. There are a lot of Artist using youtube to find talent. People are using youtube to be discorver and recognized. Usually people on youtube are by their self, rapping, singing and or dancing. there are some with their own band also.Youtube shows a varity of talent. Justin Bieber was discover by a famous artist Usher Raymond through Youtube. Usher was very successful with Bieber, a lot of people enjoying the boy singing. So i would say if it wasn't for youtube people wouldnt be recognized.
 
   The music business in particular has changed drastically over the last decade.  Most of that change can be directly attributed to the Internet. The appearance of free downloading music caused a tremendous uproar in the music business; it should be noted that not all the changes to the music business brought on by the Internet have been bad. But this do in some form affect CD buying.I think the decline on record revenue is due to the increment of Internet-based buying. But we need to take into account also the downloads from LimeWire, Torrents, etc. Which people get for free.People who download music for free don't buy CD's, since they already got them for free, and as a result they take from the industry, but don't put any money back in, destroying both the music industry and anything that relies on the music industry.
