One may like such technology or dislike it: but the traditional music industry has crashed frontally while disliking it. In the meanwhile, though, the very same music revolution helped Apple become the most valuable company in the world.
In any breakthrough, there are Schumpeter's losers and winners.

There has been a music counter revolution, the price of music has fallen and so has the number of bands being signed, the number of albums recorded. If the money does not return to the creative content makers the industry will die. Apple has become rich but they don't make music.
