Technically Speaking: Why The Need For Cyber Security In Streaming Music Matters Feb 25, 2020

Show notes

For many young musicians, technology has provided an easy means to get new music out there. Now more than ever before, it is possible for quality music to be discovered and develop a following — it still takes a lot of luck to make it big, but the odds are slightly more in your favor. All of these things are great, but there are all sorts of cybercrimes out there and the number of incidents is steadily growing.
