Due to the invention of digital technology the music industry has been hit with a catch-22 situation. On the one hand, digital availability of music allows record companies to promote artists on a larger scale. On the other hand, peer-to-peer sharing networks such as limewire and torrent sites have allowed for the illegal download of music by the masses.
It is very difficult to control the downloading of music illegally due to the fact that more peer-to-peer networks are created everytime one is shut down. this means that although DRM exists, it is difficult to determine the impact, if any, it will have on the music industry and protecting the rights of record companies and recording artists.
