This blog post discusses the changing landscape of the music industry and the role of technology in disrupting traditional business models. It argues that while the previous music industry establishment may have been flawed, the new era of digital platforms and streaming services has not necessarily resulted in a fair and equitable system for artists. The post explores the impact of digital piracy, the devaluation of music, and the concentration of power within a few major corporations. It suggests that despite the promise of technology to empower artists, the current state of the music industry may have actually worsened the situation for many musicians.
