album are gone long struggling to maintain their existence In
- 00:25
some ways the internet has empowered artists allowing them to

have more control over their careers The author wants to
- 00:31
add the following sense to the passage Record companies had
- 00:35

so then discuss how things used to be done Trust
- 01:41

- 01:44
so we know how this works Finally paragraph three talks
- 01:47
about how consumer habits have changed so it wouldn't be
- 01:50
a logical place to mention how record companies used to
- 01:53
do things So yeah the answer is a It fits
- 01:56
right there in paragraph teo somewhere Anyway that's it We're
- 02:00
done with the music industry sadly as our record stores
