Abstract:

This investigation examines how the conglomerated music industry is using new technology to divide access to music through different online subscription services. By dividing access to exclusive music, the music industry hopes to increase its revenue in light of recent global sales declines. As a result of this recent development, this paper argues a divide is being created between consumers who can afford access to music and those who cannot. Theory on new media and technology described through utopian and dystopian terms is used to inform this study while a political economy perspective is used to analyze data. Ultimately, the decisions the music industry is making now will radically alter the manner in which music is purchased, delivered and consumed in the future.
