In brief, describe how digital technology has leveled the playing field, reducing the competitive advantage that major record labels have over competitors.

What will be an ideal response?

The advantage of major labels is eroded by digital technology because almost anyone can distribute
music globally online and avoid a proprietary network of subdistributors and wholesalers. Also, home
recording and semiprofessional equipment of high quality lowers the cost of producing albums, which
puts artists with modest resources on a more equal footing with major label artists.
