Conglomerate Rock argues that while it is becoming easier to see and hear artists from a handful of transnational corporations, access to music is becoming more dispersed, expensive, and difficult to acquire. The music industry is creating a new distribution infrastructure by dividing access to exclusive releases through different subscription services, hardware, and new media like audio DVDs in order to maximize profits.
