00:06

the set of a dozen here let's get to it

00:09

fifty years ago is difficult to imagine and people label

00:11

downloading streaming from the internet infected years goes the internet

00:14

record companies used to advance among you in order to

00:17

record their album And then they would deduce deduct the

00:20

days of going to the record store to buy an

00:22

album are gone long struggling to maintain their existence In

00:25

some ways the internet has empowered artists allowing them to

00:28

have more control over their careers The author wants to

an artist or do little publicity All right so that

00:43

sends wood fits most logically where let's think about this

00:54

that's in pretty relevant there for record companies controlled the

00:58

starving artist there And then we go to consumers Don't

01:02

buy things same way In the fourth paragraph it kind

01:04

of sums up okay well the sense uses the past

01:13

life was grand and now it's not It's kind of

01:16

a vibe Anyway paragraph two discusses how music used to

01:20

be recorded and sold so it's the best home for

01:23

our new sentence Right sentence doesn't match the contacts The

01:26

paragraph one which introduces the main idea that the internet

01:29

revolutionized the music industry in kind of killed it Paragraph

01:32

four discussing the benefits and challenges faced by artist now

01:36

so it would be jarring to go back in time

01:39

so then discuss how things used to be done Trust

01:41

us We've watched back to the future with fifteen times

01:44

so we know how this works Finally paragraph three talks

01:47

about how consumer habits have changed so it wouldn't be

01:50

a logical place to mention how record companies used to

01:53

do things So yeah the answer is a It fits

01:56

right there in paragraph teo somewhere Anyway that's it We're

02:00

done with the music industry sadly as our record stores
