Prosumers and Mash-ups

PROSUMER MEDIA
Prosumer was originally formed by combining the two words producer and consumer. This means that the consumers (customers) were determining what they were to buy. We, the customers are responsible for how the music has changed because we have influenced the people who produce the music. For example, most major producers won't sell new music without asking several focus groups beforehand.
