The Internet, which didn’t even exist a decade ago, is changing everything. Take the music industry for example. It used to be that if you started a record company, your chances of competing with “the majors” were slim to none, no matter how good your product. The big boys had the big bucks, and they used them to stifle competition. A small label had no chance of getting their tapes and CDs in the stores, much less getting them played on the radio. All of that’s changed now, thanks to the influence of the World Wide Web. These days, if you can’t find a deal to get your music distributed, you can sell it yourself in cyberspace. With a little luck (and a little marketing savvy), you might even find yourself becoming a force to be reckoned with.
