how the internet has revolutionized the music industry paragraph four

01:43

discusses how the changes in the music industry effects artists

01:46

not consumers Paragraph two presents information on how the music

01:49

industry usedto work which would not flow well with the

new sentence So yeah the answer is the beginning of 00:01:55.135 --> [endTime] paragraph three It's d and we're done
