How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The Internet has been instrumental to the undiscovered artist. It provides a forum for anyone with the ability and drive to be seen and heard. No longer do the large record companies hold the power to deny an artist. If the masses like an artists work, he or she can be successful. The future will prove that the internet is an invaluable source to connect to an audience no matter where they are.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It would depend on the terms.
