It seems, however honest the federal government could break our door at any moment and we keep on pushing to jail for downloading free music. Moreover, thanks to well-paid lawyers and filthy rich record executives, you also need to get started for some pathetic Britney Spears single that you sued downloaded from Napster back in school worries! While the iPod and the growing number of companies that legal music downloads (for a price, of course) to show that consumers still want their MP3s seem, the truth is that you should be careful with the words “free” and “MP3″ will appear together on one site.
Well, free downloads brought down Napster and they are illegal – why take a risk?
In fact, this is not true. Napster fell from grace and had to start charging because people for downloads exchange CDs on the whole site. Well, frankly, the system has been abused, that is what caused the prosecution in the first place. Also, and I know this is getting technical, Napster has “exchange” of MP3 files with no download.
Thus, for sharing files, which costs nothing, and several free MP3 … explain yourself!
With file sharing, two persons were the first songs that are bought (eventually) had to be in a store. Was purchased as the song or the CD, the record company got their cut, the musicians have their money, and committed many record stores and warehouses were busy as well. Exchange of cutting any of this loop, so that everyone lost money – lots of it – with the exception of Napster, which made a killing on advertising. But free music downloads MP3 files are sanctioned by the artists and music companies, as a means of attracting new fans. It is stolen, while the other is marketing.
