Musik, Teknologi dan Segala Isinya

Informasi mengenai dunia musik membanjiri dunia saat teknologi diaplikasikan didalamnya. Ketika pada tahun 1999 industri rekaman meraup untung $14.6 dan pertumbuhan sebesar 6 persen dalam setahun, industri musik juga mengalami perkembangan dalam penjualan per lagu suatu album dan dihargai per lagu melalui suatu proses download yang dilakukan di dunia maya. Hal ini membantu konsumen yang hanya menyukai satu lagu dalam suatu album untuk membeli/download per lagu pada situs penyedia (server). Sayangnya, tidak semua server di internet legal. Banyak sekali server-server yang menyediakan konten download gratis. Dalam hal ini teknologi dianggap merugikan bagi industri musik dan musisi. Namun di sisi lain, pembajakan yang merupakan bagian dari kecanggihan teknologi, juga tidak bisa disepelekan oleh musisi. Tidak jarang banyak musisi terkenal di suatu daerah karena banyaknya kaset, vcd dan dvd bajakan tersebar di daerah tersebut. Hal-hal ini membuat kita dilema akan adanya teknologi. Keterbatasan internet untuk menyaring informasi termasuk salah satu sebab adanya hal ini.
Tentunya, kita tidak bisa dan tidak boleh menolak teknologi di dunia seperti sekarang ini. Oleh karena itu, kebijakan kita sebagai manusia obyektiflah yang akhirnya membantu kita menyikapi hal ini.
