Do you usually listen to music on YouTube?

Source background

From "Music and YouTube - an uneasy marriage, 2016", most music is consumed in so many ways from streaming video and audio to good old-fashioned vinyls. The only problem for music producers is money fell from   streaming selling products, most companies immediately know who to blame - YouTube. Several years ago, the problem was first happened from people finding illegal copies of genuine article rather than paying for the products from companies, from now it seems to be YouTube that caused the problem. One CEO from the music company have stated that music is helping YouTube to grow up their business, but YouTube won't help the music companies back. Unfortunately the result came out, as the real problem is most music videos on YouTube have been updated by Vevo, which is a company that were built for this purpose, so that means it's about the unclear agreement between Vevo publisher and YouTube's owner. Surely, the companies want government to take role in this problem, but even the government, they're not sure what the companies want them to do.

My Yes/No question is:
Do you usually listen to music on YouTube?

My answer is:
Yes, I do, most of the time.

YouTube seems to be the easiest way for me to listen to some music and even provide me the official videos to enjoy watching my favorite singers. However, I know that some music on YouTube seems to be illegal, I still don't want any audios or video to be deleted. Sometimes, the price of legal music are high, my point is, you don't just pick out one music from the album to listen, if you have to buy, you have to buy the whole album which will cost you so much money. It's simple that people would avoid paying at high cost and download or listen to things for free instead.

In the past, companies may be able to succeed in selling their products since technology haven't yet reach people's hands. But now as time has passed by, technology became a part of human's life. It's easy to reach and convenient. It's not only about the price, it's also about convenience too. When you want to buy the music companies' products, you would have to go to some stores that provide them and buy ones you want, which costs you a lot including payment for travelling to the stores. But if you just search on the YouTube or illegal copies on the internet instead, you can just stay at home, pick up your smartphones or any devices, then you can get whatever you like downloading or just listening online.

For me, both reasons are important. I do prefer listening to music on YouTube or even watch some videos because later on you can download some files on your devices and put them on your smartphones, so you can listen to them anywhere you go even you don't have internet data. It tends to be more popular among people nowadays since they used YouTube as a based site for listening to music. Even though, the companies want the government to do something with YouTube, I don't think the government will work it out. There might be some groups of people who will go against that.
