This document discusses how music consumption has changed from digital music's beginning in 1982 with the creation of the MP3 format, to the rise of music piracy through services like Napster in the 1990s-2000s, to the current dominance of streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora. Streaming services now generate more revenue than digital downloads, gaining popularity after 2005. By 2013, streaming surpassed digital sales as the most popular form of music consumption. While many artists are unhappy with the low payouts from streaming, services have helped reduce music piracy by providing legal alternatives to listen to music online.
