3. Napster, the Internet, and the collapse of the music industry
At no other time in the history of recorded music could a label have done what Spacebomb is doing. The rise of digital proliferation and sales have driven down costs and leveled the playing field to the point where talent, ingenuity and excellence rise to the top. Greatness is what matters, not a major label contract, and although that is a difficult thing for anyone to achieve it is realistic to think that if you can come somewhere near it, one’s work can be magnified and shared like no other time before. Sure, free downloading causes problems, but it also allows one’s voice to spread faster than you would ever imagine…but only if it’s good enough.
