Do Spotify and other developing new and digital media services have an impact on the current music industry?

Angle
How is Spotify affecting the music industry

Hypothesis
Spotify is affecting artists and how they are selling their music.

Institution
Spotify would be the main institution involved alongside where I read about MTV and other institutions such as Sony .

Audience
This would relate to the audiences of Spotify which would predominately be youth, this could be due to internet and music in which teenagers dominate

Ideologies
Based on left wing debates
Regulation and censorship

changing technologies in the 21st century and the effect of globalisation on the media. In terms of ownership and control, the concept of owners of industries can be discussed as well as the owners of certain music streaming sites such as Spotify and itunes. The regulation and censorship is based on the type of music is out and who regulates this to make it suitable for a certain age group ect...

The digital revolution and media technology will be based on how technology has advanced over the years (especially in the 21st century) and how its affected music.
