first entry on project

To start off, I want to find out how the music industry is making profit while people are illeagally downloading music form the internet.Well that is my main question that i want to answer. I'm going to answer some other questions on the way to finding out my main question. Some other questions i'm going to ask is like how bands and artists are dealing with this money loss.If thy are din anything to stop or try to prevent this and if so what are some techniques that they are using to do so.First lets atart off with some sites that are used to get ilegal music. Limewire is one. All you have to do is type in the name of a song or even the name of the artist to get the entire ealbam for free.Then you could transfer the music downloaded from limewire to Itunes amd then put it on your music devices and there you have it, ilegal music.Thats just one of the many ways to aquire illegal music. Stuies show that some music can be downloaded from the internet antwhere from three hours and earlier as to when the music was origianally going to be released to the public. So that gives the public a chance to litterally steal the music before the artists actually get a chance even atempt to sell it. This is obviously going to be hard for the artists because its a big chunk of profit missing. I know it is not the only way they have to make money but taht is beyond the point because just because they have other ways to make money that doesn't mean that they should work for free. If they are doing the work I think they should get rerwarded for it... as shoud everybody else.
