The challenges with copyrights have really been affecting the way we listen to music. Record companies probably hate the fact that we can share and download music off the Internet. Even radio stations have had to pay a fee in order to use songs. With the new age of digital music plenty of new artists are recording their music of their computers. It is simple for a new artist to make a new sound or beat on their computer, completely crossing out using a producer. But people who sample the music and then get a new song by using multiple songs together are really suffering. A great young and new artist named Dangermouse or now GirlTalk mixed the Beatles “White Album” with Jay-Z’s “Black Album” and called it the “Gray Album.” Because of copyrights he cannot distribute it, which would have been a major hit if people like you and me would have been able to buy it.
The Internet and all of its resources have many problems stopping artists to come up with a new beat. iTunes has stepped up with this challenge. They protect the label and copyright by making sure that when you purchase a song it only plays on their specific network. However companies have pulled out of iTunes because they thin they’re getting ripped off. The main challenge to all of this is how do record companies protect their song and artist without losing to much money? There will be plenty of new challenges as new technology comes out.
