Piracy is far from being the main reason behind killing small video game development studios. |

im talking about music in that case...
i can only imagine the same thing will happen to movies and games |

But it has its advantages as well...
if it wasn't for downloading (ie. Napster and iTunes), I would have not discovered EDM when I did..
I stumbled across some song by some weird dude named Tiesto called Summerbreeze...
I was like, ftw kind of song is 1.2 hours long??
Lets see what this is about...
and then I got hooked, and have purchased many EDM song/albums since then... |

it won't though. downloading a song versus downloading a whole game or movie is very different. The size of the medium has a big effect, since it's harder to host movies/games than it is songs. Because of that, most people couldn't be arsed to go and actively look for movies and games, whereas music you could find just about anywhere.
also, in the context of video games, companies like Microsoft, and especially Sony, aren't helping the industry by putting out these high-end machines with HUGE production costs, which easily eliminate smaller development studios from even starting development. |

but the disadvantages have outweighed the advantages.
I only support downloading on those sites when it comes to getting things that arent available for purchase. Namely dj sets or tracks that arent available in this geographical district. (which i cant comprehend in this day and age)
Otherwise, if a band wants to promote themselves for free it should be their choice. |

The internet really unified the EDM scene internationally, and most people in the scene would be really stupid to say that the internet has had a negative effect on the music. It did kill a lot of smaller labels, but at the same time it introduced a lot of new people to the music and has given A LOT of exposure to artists that otherwise may not have been noticed. |

thats about to change just as it did with music. In 1999 most people still had dial up and were converting to high speed. High speed availabilty is what fueled music downloading. And the same will happen once the internet gets even faster and once sotrage space gets even cheaper.
its not happening yet luckily in that regard. |

dance music and "EDM" was actually more popular on a global scale in the 90s than it is now. |

I second that... It is nowhere near as popular in England as it used to be. Mainstream exposure murdered it unfortunately. |
