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 understand that even back in the day maybe 4 out of 5 songs played on the radio was yucky. Yet tons of great music was produced in the last half of the twentieth century. After that... not so good.

@MissPerfect Another issue is that back in the day music was made by high level producers that took their talent seriously. Now due to the advancement of technology anybody can make a catchy beat on their laptop within a couple of hours and have it up on YouTube by the morning
