For better or worse, the Internet changed the music industry. The Internet allowed people to share music with friends and strangers around the world. With no laws to regulate online music sharing, many consumers downloaded music for free instead of paying for it. Consequently, the music industry made less money and a lot of artists suffered; however, the Internet also brought new talent to the market. Before the Internet, artists had to sign with labels to break through. These labels acted like gatekeepers, but the Internet allowed artists to record and distribute albums and videos by themselves. The Internet continues to change the music industry.
