Music Matters Campaign



In March, the campaign for “Music Matters” launched. It’s an important campaign because more than an anti-piracy campaign. It’s about reminding listeners about its value and educating those who consume music on how to identify and get music from legitimate sources such as website.

Ever since digital music was invented, it’s always been difficult protecting the work of artists, songwriters, musicians, producers and so on. Illegally downloading music has increased over the last decade and it’s in a sense destroying the music industry, not just in sales but it’s taking away the art of it all.

Music takes a lot of time, effort, creativity and money to make, it’s no just paying the bills, so it’s unfair when the artists and musicians etc don’t get anything back from putting their all in.

This is a great campaign and I think everyone should know about it. It’s not just a little online campaign; artists like Cee Lo Green, Ellie Goulding, Elbow, Kate Bush and others are backing the campaign, stating why music matters.

Music matters because it’s a part of life; it’s a part of who I am. It helps with every emotion a person can have. Without music, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Music isn’t just a gift; we can’t escape it. It’s a way of life.
