I guess it depends on how you look at it. With the availability of music on the internet and music streaming websites along with iTunes, this gives artists a lot more exposure, especially for less well known ones who otherwise might not get as much. How would this negatively effect the industry? I'm not sure, I guess the artists could wind up making less money. I know some artists and bands dislike the direction the industry is going in for whatever reasons, some just don't like the new mode of hearing music and think it rips off their work. -shrug-
I don't know if traditional ways of listening to music will go away. For instance, I can buy books online for a Kindle or e-book, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate having a real book in my hand which I do. I just bought some at the local book store, for instance. I think it's possible some people worry too much when something new comes along and try to assume the worst. I don't see why listening to music on say YouTube means I can't appreciate buying CD's anymore, though that is just my way of thinking.
