Pokemon Go is a good game for exercise and is an activity to do while you have nothing to do. There are some reasons that make Pokemon Go good and bad. However there are also some reasons that make me think that Pokemon Go is not a very good game to be sold to millions! Pokemon Go is more addicting than some other active apps, like geocaching.

By sharing music on a third party website or access area, the artist will gain less money than from direct downloads " According to data journalist David McCandless, a signed solo artist would need about 5,478 iTunes downloads of a song per month versus 4,200,000 YouTube streams per month just to make the U.S. minimum wage."

Even with tours and such, the band will still lose money due to costs of the tour and reduction of concert attendees which still impact the net income of the artist.…

Free music allows us to access any form of music through many legal sources without having to purchase a single album or song. Because of this, highly-recognized and even unknown musicians have stopped selling their music and are instead releasing their content to these free sites.

Either way, it is worth contemplating why music is suddenly changing in the lives of us all.…
Regardless of how artists earn their money, most contracts involved with major labels aren’t very clear, causing them to lose several thousands of dollars, and possibly going into debt. Many major music labels receive most of the revenue that their clients make; nearly half of all royalties paid to artists are given to the label. Jared Leto, lead singer of the band Thirty Seconds to Mars, told the Rolling Stone that "if you think the fact that we have sold in excess of 2 million records and have never been paid a penny is pretty unbelievable, well, so do we” (Kreps 2). Of the millions of records that the band sold, zero profit has been made. It’s easy to think that artists should read their contracts before they sign them so that they know what they’re getting themselves into.…
The new technology allows music to be distributed everywhere in the world. Music accompanied people when they listen to music on the radio, listen to music through their personal devices when they workout or having a trip to their destination. Music conveys ideas and concepts that the artists hope their audiences to listen. Audiences receive the messages and impressions depend on their personal depiction of their music experience, which in turn, some music allows audiences to relief their pressures after works, feel energized by hard beats in the music. The emerging problems are that music is downloaded and distributed both legal and illegal through the internet.…

Music is an art than can connect us all, the topic I choose to do my interviews on was music and how race plays a part into the music we listen to today. In many people’s lives music is a constant, they are always listening to it. That’s why corporations like Spotify and ITunes exist, they are capitalizing on the easy access of music from all different genres. Music is a way in which artists can share their experiences and life troubles without having to speak about them, rather they can just make a song. It gives many people a voice as well, often times to people who otherwise wouldn’t have one.…

Due to people choosing these free methods, the majority of music consumption today creates little to no money for music artists.…
