Arditi, David
With the development of online music distribution, a number of authors argued that independent musicians could compete on equal ground with major record labels. In this article, I explore the effects that online distribution has had on distributing music to consumers. This essay argues that through the development of iTunes, the major record labels have maintained the same advantages that they held through physical media distribution networks.

Arditi, David
Music production and reproduction has always been effected by the implementation and adaptation of new technologies. Digital technology works to displace labor in the music industry in two parallel ways. (1) It displaces labor in the manufacture, distribution, and retail of the physical music commodity through transmediation. (2) It reduces the labor required by musicians in the production process. This paper focuses on the latter form of musician labor by looking closely at the effect that digital audio workstations and drum machines have on studio record production. I argue that while technologies are developed to solve practical problems for musicians, the recording industry adopts the same technology to increase profit by eliminating labor.
