What problems or opportunities does
new media technology pose for:
Record labels? Artists? Consumers/users?
ProblemsOpportunities
Not enough funding from people
buying cd’s and hard copy’s
Up and coming artists can’t secure
contracts because of low budgets
They can’t secure a contract because
of low budgets from record lables
They do not make any money which
restricts their creativity

could have their internet slowed down
and eventually cut off from them
It can promote artists to the record
companies. More and more artists
start their career online.
They can start their career online and
become quite famous through buzz
created from illegal file sharing.
They have the opportunity to almost
try before you buy which means they
will broaden their horizon
Proposes a opportunity for record
label's to have music promoted by
illegal sharing
