Intro:

Music has been a staple of culture and society for thousands of years. However, the music industry has only recently developed in the last century. The industry has gone through a variety of revolutions in the way that it delivers music to the consumer. In the past decade, the music industry has gone through the biggest revolution in it's short lifespan, the digital revolution. The tyrant leading the way in this figurative war is the music superpower iTunes. Although iTunes is affordable, convenient, expansive, and helpful for most artists; Apple iTunes is raining the record business, supporting only their product, unfair to artists rights, and is limited in the music selection.
