Did technology and lawyers kill the music industry?

Vinyl to tape to CDs, and now internet. There a drastic drop in the quality of music being produced today, and I find myself looking more and more to the past. I feel bad for the people that had to keep replacing their sound equipment and recordings. I also feel bad for the artists being sued over the slightest copyright infringement. Small wonder it's the untalented nobodies we mostly see now.

I think music is just less "special" to people now. Everything is streamed and it doesn't really have the same uniqueness that it did. There is good music out there though.

@SW-User True...there are MANY more choices available for entertainment now. Look at how gaming has exploded in the last 20 years while music seems to shrink more and more.
