By sharing their video on the internet for free so that people can get a taste of the real thing.

Because they wanted creative control so they didn't care about using high end technology and instead used things they were used to.

The difference is black pink got signed so the company did everything for them however artic monkeys are 100% solo and independent.

Dominos- they sold over 12 million copies and chose an independent record label for their own independence and control over their music.

5) Looking at the wider music industry, has the internet been a positive or negative development for record companies and artists? Why?

In my opinion i think it has been positive because there are many social media apps that artists can promote their music on and easier to find more people interested in your music. Also people can leave reviews on them and the artist can see what people think.
