But record companies also play a very positive role: they are looking for new talent every day and offer training and production studios for young musicians. In addition, they provide valuable marketing services and ensure that new artists are heard instead of drowning in the vast sea of information of the internet. Think about it, how do you even know which song to download? That`s largely because record companies are streaming the music, on radio stations, all over MySpace, on MTV, so you can hear it for the first time.

In my Spanish class today, my teacher showed us an underground Spanish band and I loved it. I write music, and I basically wanted to recreate his instrumental, put my lyrics on it in English and make my song. Of course, I wouldn`t use them exactly instrumentally or even an identical one, but almost heavily inspired? Like different lyrics, not their exact instrumental, but the same chords and the vocal melody pretty much identical/very similar. If it helps, the song is “Azul” by Natalia Lafourcade and it`s mostly bells and piano. In addition to free songs, the YouTube audio library also includes sound effects.

Internet piracy is a widespread and widespread problem in the modern world. It`s easier than ever for the general public to find, take and reproduce copyrighted content.
