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.

Computerization and videos did music in. So much of today's hit music is heavily computerized and dehumanized. And videos with half-naked women seem more important that the actual sound of many songs.

BUT if you rove around Youtube and other places you can still find music made by actual musicians.
