If Music Artists Want to be Heard and Supported

Music is free for listeners to download and share for personal use, but if music artists want to be heard and supported, it would help to leave a picture and a song or two for bloggers and podcasters. They do not have to leave all of their music for download. Because of copyright laws, everyone is skeptical to bother anyone. Artists can’t get anywhere like that. The Internet has brought a big change and almost everything has gone towards computers. Things are not like the old days when we just had radio and TV to rely on. Even then, people were recording songs from the radio without buying them. However, if you loved an artist, it made you go out and buy all of their music. It made you buy their whole album. You wanted the album cover and all. Not every song by a music artist was heard on the radio. Things can be worked out that way for artists on the Internet.

It is up to the music artists if they own their own music. That’s another problem that some of them have. Some music artists do not own their own music. So if they do not own their own music, they can’t be supported so easily without permission. Things do not have to be so difficult the way people make it to be. People have been uploading, downloading, sharing, and supporting music from the Internet for so long now at places like Napster and YouTube. So what’s illegal? What’s the problem? The music artists can change some rules for themselves to get supported. That does not mean they have to give all of their music away for free.
