Now that I am older, because of technology, I am interested in Social Media, and how music these days is related to music. Music is my passion. Any chance that I get to learn more about music, I often take. The topic that I have chosen to write about is, how the music industry is affected by the internet and…

Record companies are taking different approaches at stopping it. A few have gone as far as tracking down sources of pirating and suing the people they found to be behind it.
