Questions:
1)The consequence is that there is an important loss of money. When you download illegaly,money does'nt go to the label and the artist. Even when you buy a music, you're not obliged to buy the whole CD and money does'nt go to the label too. That's the main problem which the music industry has to face.
2)The different stages to promote music are: identify your goals-target the right audience- have a promo package- find a niche and the right one- bribe- branding-keep tracks of your contacts...
4)In France there are Grégoire,Kamini or Amandine du 38^^ who use internet to become known.
5)Yes I ever downloaded musics illegaly. Iused LimeWire or Emule when it was working.

3/ Justin Bieber is produced by Usher
4/ Kamini?
5/ MyMajorCompany

1. The music industry is not in good shape.
2. The global music sales in 2009 have fell by 7%.
3. No, they haven’t followed the same curse, physical sales have decreased and digital sales have increased.
4. I think that people prefer to buy their music on the internet because it’s less expensive and easier or to download it illegally without paying anything.
5. In 2006, in the US, the digital sales represented 878 million dollars and in 2008 in France it was 3,7 billion dollars. I think that as time will go there will be less and less physical sales.
Part 2:
6. I think that Vevo and the agreement between Youtube and the Sacem in France can help artists to get pay for their song.
7. The music industry is trying to increase legal music downloading prices.
8. I think that the legal downloading offer should be cheaper and with music that can be used on any kind of mp3 and that you should be able to share the music with your family like with a CD.
