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,…

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…

The 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.

Also, along with this we discussed the impact the Peer-to-Peer sharing of music and that greatly negatively affected the industry, which could only be done…

Music Piracy Pirates back in the 1800’s were known to sail the high seas, plunder ships, steal cargo, the list goes on. Pirates today are still around but they take a different form, they take the form of someone going on the internet and downloading a torrent of that catchy new song they heard on the radio or downloading an entire album from some no name artist that doesn’t have their album on Spotify yet. These pirates aren’t your traditional, pirates they’re music pirates. Music piracy hurts…

We all have seen what the love for music has done; it brought us together, cheered us, enlightened us, and romanticized us. It seems to not be the case anymore. The music industry has killed our music; it has deprived us from the warmth of music. It has turned our artistry into a monopoly.

Millions of people listen to the same thing that comes in the radio, not knowing the music they…
