now to the exposure it is the peer to peer downloading that wants the expose. peer to peer downloading has become extremely popular in the last decade with the rise of website such as pirate bay and Napster the more populate these websites become the more harmful it is to the music industries. there are way to get unlimited download of music without paying for each and every song or album for example i use an app/website of JB Hi-Fi Now, which for $10 per month or $100 per year gives me assess to unlimited download of music, it may not include every artist and album but it is a legal fair way of downloading music where the artist still get the recognition and right that that deserve. the expose that new apps and website charging like the ones I just mention allows for honest use of the new format of downloading music.
both the music giants and the peer to peer download have both covered up certain part of their operation. the peer to peer downloading most obvious use a cover up operation when users exchange proprietary MP3s covertly to avoid prosecution. while the music giants do it by hiding thier attacks on peer to peer websites by hiring third parties to place 'seeds' that are infected.

Hi Steven,
ReplyDeleteI found this post really fascinating as it shows another side of an argument that, to be honest, people our age don't normally side with. I admit, I shamelessly download music illegally. You have to remember that most musicians don't actually get much of the cut when it comes to sales, most of it (if not all of it) goes straight to the record label, the musicians make their money from touring. But you do make some really valid points, but I feel your argument would be better if you backed them up with references to really hammer the points home. Still really interesting stuff.
