Music has turn out to be money making industry, earlier it was only a source of entertainment, but now it is a source of livelihood for millions around the world. The globalization has been a source of international promotion of local popular artist musicians and vocalist. Many musicians from east and west conduct their live concert throughout the world; this has not only resulted in the world wide popularity of the musicians, but has provided financial rewards to the musicians, composers and all those who have been related with the promotional campaign. Those who offer services of music download for free, in actual are earning a lot because their fee downloads are supported by advertisement of different international and regional brands.

The past two decades have seen an internationalization of information services involving the exponential expansion of computer-based communication through the Internet and electronic mail' (Schiller, H. (1989)). On the one hand, the electronic revolution has promoted the diversification and democratization of information as people in nearly every country are able to communicate their opinions and perspectives on issues, local and global, that impact their lives. Music fans from different regions have effectively used information technology to promote their perspectives and movements. On the other hand, this expansion of information technology has been highly uneven, creating an international "digital divide" (i.e., differences in access to and skills to use Internet and other information technologies due predominantly to geography and economic status).

In recent years there has been a significant shift in the transmission and reporting of entertainment news with the rise of a small number of global news services. Only certain agencies have the power to construct and disseminate entertainment highlights.
