Download




Pirating, or illegal downloading of music more than movies has and still is a major problem in the world. Since the new release of mP3 players, music can easily be pirated online. We all remember the downloading site Napster, where you would download albums easily. More and more pirate sites have been found and have been asked to legitimize their downloads, by asking for payment. Examples of such sites would be the classical napster, and ITunes. ITunes never was a pirate website, but people still could download songs easily by sharing files, but now with compatibility issues it is hard to do so. The system has been catching on to more and more illegal download and pirate sites. Even radio streaming sites are becoming harder to get in touch with. Take Pandora for example, before you could easily stream non-stop, but now you have a limited amount of time you can spend streaming on their site. Finally after close to a decade of illegal downloading and leaks across the internet the music industry is a little more relaxed, since pirating their music is becoming less and less able to do. Websites have started to put charges on everything now and so it has turned a lot of people over to using itunes versus illegal pirate sites or to just buy the cd themselves.
