A Huge
Concern Over Web: Music

Internet has come to
change everything that once
relations used to be lied
on. Since Internet had
invaded homes, the daily
life has never been the same
again. Internet changed the
family’s habits, the culture
and the way someone sees the
world. Music is just a part
of this change.
Regarding to music, this
issue is even more
complicated. People now can
prepare their own CDs by
downloading music from the
Internet. And this has
become another problematic
thing that has contributed
to increase the piracy.
The music download
problem lies on two issues:
- If people can have
access to the most varied
types of music, they can
have a better idea of a
particular artist’s
material, they can find out
singers they had never heard
of and get their CDs even
this. These actions may be a
little bit illegal and
sometimes reduce the profits
of the big music companies,
but, however, it increases
the range where a singer is
known. When this happens,
both singer and his/her
music records win a special
recognition, which may lead
to the hire of them for
shows and (guess what?)
profits.
- But if it is true that
music download can be
beneficial for an artist,
sometimes it can also be
harmful, speaking about
profits of course. And this
loss of money in general
happens to already famous
artists. People download
their songs from the
Internet because they
already know that singer and
because they like him/her.
The big music industry
complex has a tough battle
to face. Profits or
recognition!? Profits and
recognition depends on each
other: you only have profits
when you achieve
recognition, but your
recognition can be measured
by your profits. How to
solve the problem?
Well, even if this matter
seems to be far from a
solution, some measures are
being taken by the
companies. Some laws have
been created and other
demands are being done. Even
if it is hard to supervise
all the websites on the
Internet that offer music
download, some people have
been being charged of piracy
and arrested.
Janis Ian on her article
states that the music
download increases the
profit of the music
industries, instead of what
these industries allege.
According to Janis, when
people downloads a music
form he Internet and get to
know that song, they buy the
CD because they already
liked it and have no way to
regret buying that CD. She
also states that this
happens because most of
people cannot pay for a CD
just to “give it a try”.
Music download is a
reality – no matter what.
