Episode 149: Did Video Actually Save The Music Star?

TechLaw10 hosts Jonathan Armstrong and Eric Sinrod discuss legal issues related to information technology. In this episode, Jonathan and Eric discuss the premise that rather than mark the demise of the radio star, as noted in the Buggles late 1970s hit "Video Killed the Radio Star," video has actually saved the music industry. They focus on The Piano Guys and how the group turned its YouTube popularity into a commercial deal with Sony and also reference Justin Bieber as another example of an artist rising from YouTube to attain significant commercial success.
