Now many people are gonna be upset and won 't agree while they too have reasonings why they shouldn 't need to sell out to make more money. Many people would say but they should just sell merchandise as source three suggests. As that could be the case, think about it logically. Wouldn 't it cost them more money to make the merchandise than to sell it? Some of the merchandise wouldn 't sell out so they will be losing money instead of gain it. Plus, if they want to get their songs out their and fast so people could hear it as fast as possible while people would buy more copies of their music, they should simply do advertisements.
To end this discussion, musicians should be able to sell out for various of reasons. They can get their music out there in the open for everyone can see faster, they 'll be making up the money lost as less and less people are buying through physical sales, and it 's a safer way for them to make money.

Show-rooming has become a significant issue for Target, its internal stakeholders, and the predominance of its external stakeholders.

After learning of Target’s request of its vendors, some have expressed concerns regarding the ethical dilemma created by Target. After examining the facts in the article, considering the symbiotic relationship between Target and its suppliers, and referencing the Utilitarian Approach to resolving ethical dilemmas, I believe Target’s requests of its suppliers are ethical (Kinicki, 2013).

Have you ever thought that music should be free and you shouldn’t have to pay for it? I don’t think that’s right because of many important reasons that have to do with production of new music. I believe that music should be paid for because artists and music producers work very hard to make music and we need to pay them for the music they make since we listen to it and then I return because of the money we pay for the music they can use that to make more new music for all of us to enjoy.
Despite both being from the same school of thought, the Frankfurt School, Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno found themselves debating the value of art in a world on the brink of war. The basis of Benjamin’s and Adorno’s argument was not a critique of the art itself, but rather ever-growing trend of the reproduction of art. For Benjamin, as described in, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”, the reproduction of art and the novelty of film, which stemmed from technological marvels, was a natural progression and a detractor to the growing fascist presence. However, for Adorno, as discussed in “The Fetish Character of Music and the Regression in Listening”, the simplification of art, specifically music, to a mass producible
Advertisements help pay an artist’s bills which allows them to make more music. Commercials can also help pay for the costs for tours and artists can make an innumerable amount of money. Promotions can bring a more varied audience to a musician and can help bands gain popularity. By having more people listening to an artist’s music, a musician can be given a sense of reassurance to write more songs. Recently people are debating about whether advertisers should be allowed to use a musicians’ music.

Although it has produced a new form of piracy, the advantages of music streaming far exceed the disadvantages. Indisputably, music streaming is the future of the music industry. The projected value of the music streaming industry in 2020 is 16.5 billion USD (P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP (PSAM), 2015) is and that suggests how the music streaming business will only get bigger from here. The music industry has to adapt and adjust to the development of music streaming in order to maximise its potential and yield the most benefits. As Leon C. Megginson so aptly put, “It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.”, without the ability to adapt, anyone would be left
The Homogeneity of Pop Music Pop music, or popular music, in the modern sense has been around in the United States for several decades, having begun around the late sixties, and has encompassed an assortment of genres throughout its progression. As pop music has aged and adapted, an increasingly common complaint among the critics of this genre is all pop songs being homogenous, or they “all sounds the same”. Typically, the fans of this genre respond by stating each song is easily distinguishable from one another, provide a unique musical experience, or they aren’t less unique than any other category of music.

Furthermore, by looking at the Demographics of Music Purchasers in the United States, they should pay more attention to male consumers or people who are 15-24 years old. Consumers’ taste and preference is in flux.
In short, lower prices are offered to consumers, who might not be able to afford a higher price, thus attracting more visitors and raising the profits. Let’s take a look at the graph below. Output is Y number of hotel rooms booked at price P. D1 is demanded by adults, D2 – by seniors. If suppliers charge price P1 for all the rooms, they are only targeting one segment and quantity sold will be Y1. However, by charging a different price P2 to different customers, suppliers now target two segments, so the total revenue will now be P1*Y1+P2*Y2, which is obviously a better option for suppliers than just
