relationship with the piracy issues in music industries, and a possible way to control ongoing
digital piracy. For this purpose of the research, a qualitative secondary method with documentary
analysis was chosen. Several available data from past to current were selected, skimmed,
synthesized, presented thematically, and finally analyzed in the research work.
The analysis results show that the copyright laws are insufficient and less relevant in the modern
digital age. The digital issues are somehow related to the copyright laws created by inappropriate
clauses and wordings. Secondary ethnographic data from the psychological perspective of piracy
show that the justification of illicit behavior and antipathy towards music industries is another
reason for piracy among youths. Finally, the study of emerging technologies such as blockchain
technology shows possibilities in solving revenue distribution issues, transparency issues, and
intermediaries' role issues. On the other hand, artificial intelligence shows considerable potential
and promising future of music industries in many ways while controlling the ongoing piracies.
