Music industry crisis
Changing tech
Internet has made the music industry have to adapt because of the issue of downloading. CD sales are falling each year because of downloading. In 2009 as much as 95% of the music was downloaded or illegally downloaded. Four men behind file sharing sites pirate bay were sentenced to a year in jail and ordered to pay £2.5 million in damages for helping people download games films and music for nothing.
HMV vs ITunes
Simon Fox said that within three years technology would become its single biggest product category ahead of DVDs and CDs. 25% of the floor space in HMV to MP3 players, tablets, computers and head phones where as the CDs are going out of date and becoming defunct formats such as Vinyl and tapes. He said that head phones market was worth £150 million with Dr Dre's Beats selling for more than £300 million. Now is worth £1 billion after being bought by Apple.
De commodification
Decommodification is when you can view a product as an entitlement rather than having to pay for the product. A commodity is an item where it can be bought or sold. Decommodification product would be removed from the market.
How to combat Decommodification you would have to consider all of the platforms that an artist can be exhibited on for example DVDs, CDs, downloads, iTunes and apps. You would have to make your product unique so that people would buy it and not illegally download it or view it for nothing. CDs are getting out of date now and becoming less known, people wouldn't want to buy these products if you could get them for free online.

Postmodernism is a shortcut to mass audience
Postmodernism
The Definition for postmodernism is a Style and concept in the arts characterized by a distrust of theories and ideologies and by the drawing of attention to conventions. Postmodernists say that we are constantly immersed in media. They say we are immersed in it 24/7 when we are at work, at home, out and about. Media representations and reality are becoming blurred and invisible to us. We can no longer tell the difference between media to reality so basically the media reality is becoming the new reality. Others say that postmodern is where the representations get remixed, remastered, played around with, turned into a parody. This is where people make texts deliberately.
Jean Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard come up with the idea of Hyperreality and simulacra/ simulation. When a sign loses its relation to reality it then begins to simulate a simulation. Simulation is when some representation replaces the real thing that was being represented, so the representation becomes more important tan the real thing. Hyperreality means that the division between reality and simulation is no more, and that it is getting mixed up where the simulation is becoming the reality. An example of Hyperreality would be celebrities where they have entered the Hyperreal world. This is where celebrities cant interact with normal people and to live a life of fantasy.

Goodwin's theory
Goodwin's theory
- Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics (stage performance)
- There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals
- There is a relationship between music and visuals
- The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artists and artist may develop motifs which recur across their work a visual style
- There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body
- There is often intertextual reference (films, to music videos)
