Reflect on The Music Industry and the Digital Revolution

After watching the video lecture on the development of recording technology as well as the video on digital media please respond to the following questions (Minimum 200 words):

• Do you feel that advancements in recording technology have made it easier or more difficult for artists to be recognized for their work?
• Do you feel, like some artists do, that art should be free?
• If you were an artist who was gaining popularity would you sign a record deal with a major label that was structured similarly to those during the height of Motown? Or would you opt for working with a company like Kobalt? Or even opt for self-promotion/relying on social media? (Speak to some of the differences between these options)
