Bicycle sharing system

Should the artist's music in advertise be a normal thing? I oppose this idea that the advertising business should just be able to use musician's music without their consent. There are two reasons why I don't support this idea. One reason is because Internet services that stream music are taking the place of buying the music which decreases the sales of CDs, records, and cassettes which have been sold over the years. Another reason why I don't support this idea is because any loss in album sales…

A record label makes, distributes and markets sound recordings; basically at the end of the day they're out to make money. How has the music industry been affected by the Internet and digital downloading? This question is important because the Internet is the Music Industry's new problem. Music in today's world without the Internet will be the main question or main concern if we did not have it. Where would the music industry be without the Internet and the power to share files, MP3 waves and…

The article states “it is no secret also that there are many reasons for artist to get frustrated by the current music business system with venues that don’t support new artist, radio stations only giving airplay to certain artist, musicians playing at venues for free, illegal downloads, CD pirating, lack of respect for professional musicians, just to mention a few. Despite the flaws…

from the chapters of the book, ‘Capturing Sound’ by Mark Katz that I found really intriguing. One area would be about digital sampling and how it has allowed music to be expressed and presented in multiple ways. The second area would be about file sharing and the way technology has shaped how people to discover and experience music nowadays. The first reading I came…

Since the invention of the printing press made copies of works easily reproducible there has been worry by content creators about having their works copied for someone else's financial gain. Through time other mediums have been introduced with song, films and books all now at risk of being copied and the creator having their work stolen and not having any financial compensation. But with the advent of laws to protect works and their creators, a fine line has developed between protecting original…

Piracy is a topic that is always being brought up and discussed, for one simple reason; people cannot make up their mind which is right. It has always speculated if people should be persecuted for downloading music in an illegitimate way. Honestly, it is impractical to make somebody pay tons for only a song. Initially, it is not moral to send someone to jail for downloading music or making them pay a ludicrous fine. Commonly, a song costs about 99 cents, which may just be a dollar, however,…

are getting mad at the fact that new apps, like Spotify Pandora and more are free, because each time they are played the artist does not get any credit for it. The radio and recording industries are interdependence and without one another the whole system that has been built up over years, from the record to the tape recorder, to the CD, to the radio would be…

The first company I looked into in depth was iTunes and its corresponding Apple Music. Through iTunes, artists receive less than 10% of the price of the sale of their song. For a $9.99 download, the artist receives 94 CENTS, the record company receives $5.35, and iTunes receives $3.70. For every song downloaded, the artist gets NINE CENTS. They put in so much work only to earn nine cents. As the average minimum wage in the United States is currently $1,071.20 a month, the average artist needs to…

more accepted term used is file sharing, and it is just that: sharing files over the web, typically illegally. File sharing has been a controversy who’s legality has been frivolously debated since Napster in 1999. (Oberholzer) File sharing has been exaggerated to be an instrument of theft, thus leading to the downfall of the music industry. However, thanks to file sharing, users have been exposed to music they would have otherwise never known existed. File sharing of intellectual copyrights…

time, they are also contributing money. Renting out spaces and equipment can become very costly. At the end of the day, being a musician is their job and they intend to make money off of their hard work. When consumers are illegally downloading and sharing their music for free, they are being robbed. This is unfair to artists as they are not being compensated for all the effort, time and money that they put into creating and editing their works. On the other hand, music piracy can also be seen…
