| dc.description.abstract | With the development of online music distribution, a number of authors argued that independent musicians could compete on equal ground with major record labels. In this article, I explore the effects that online distribution has had on distributing music to consumers. This essay argues that through the development of iTunes, the major record labels have maintained the same advantages that they held through physical media distribution networks. | en_US |
