In 1989, Internet becomes global (CERN opened its first external TCP/IP connections - ), and in the same year standard of .mp3 files for audio files was invented (Doctoral student at Germany's University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Karlheinz Brandenburg began working on digital music compression in the early 1980s, focusing on how people perceive music. He completed his doctoral work in 1989.). This two events, after 12 years, led to the crash of a $40-billion music market to a 15-billion level.
