Technology has significantly changed the music industry in recent years. People are listening to more rock and jazz music but buying less music in stores. The rise of the internet and mobile phones has enabled new forms of digital music distribution through platforms like iTunes and streaming. However, this has also led to rampant piracy through peer-to-peer file sharing networks, costing the industry billions. New technologies aim to curb piracy through digital rights management while expanded digital distribution opens new opportunities for artists and fans.
