Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Artists who use the Internet to generate a fan base can improve their chances of being signed by a major label. This is true as record labels often look at an artist's online presence and fan base when considering whether to sign them. Additionally, the Internet has allowed for more independent musicians to gain exposure and build a following without needing to rely solely on a record label. The other options are not true - many musicians and companies use the Internet for marketing, some people still choose to purchase music despite the availability of free downloads, and many musicians have experimented with direct-to-consumer sales on the Internet.
