I couldn't agree more with Cameron's blog post about how internet is hurting the recording music industry. Internet is causing the gradual loss of the usage of many forms of mass communication, and recorded music is no exception. I noticed that all the mass communication mediums we've learned, like newspapers and magazines, had an invention that declined it's use. This makes me anticipate for the future because I wonder what new invention will cause the decline of internet use. The record label companies are being severely wounded due to the internet and more specifically YouTube. Many talented people put themselves out there on YouTube, which makes it easier for music producers to find them. Instead of going through the normal path and getting a record label, it seems now that they just walk around that step in the process. I liked how she provided an example of a celebrity who became famous by YouTube. The celebrity would be none other than the well-known Justin Bieber because if it wasn't for YouTube, he wouldn't be as famous.
