FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

Teens are better able to communicate and "spread new trends" through social networking sites (Espejo 34).

Social networking provides "a new corridor for the promotion of music" (Espejo 39).

Many bands enable free downloading on their social networking pages "because it has become the only way teens will support them" (Espejo 41).

Music and music videos now have the opportunity to "go viral, in that there is a mass spread of the artist's work" across these social networking websites (Espejo 41).

New studies have proven that teens are more likely to follow new music "if they can get access to it without paying a cent" (Espejo 45).
