Music Industry

Other Ways of Generating Profit

..............The topic that interests me is music.Music is good for everything. No matter your situation that you're in the is music for it.Different music is good for different things. Slower music is good for relaxing while on the other and more hardcore music like metal is good for pumping yourself up for something such as a big game. Obviously there is romantic music as well but like i said, there is music for every occasion. Metal bands such as Bullet for my Valentine can get you pumped while R and B might be able to like calm someone down. People are downloading music illegally. I don't know anybody that actually pays for the music because there are so many sites that you can just get them for free off of. Some sites are like limewire or you could transfer music from itunes and if you are not paying for it then the artists are not making any profit off of it and if you think about it, its not really fair to the people that did the work. I've always been interested in music since i was younger so i thought this would be a good issue to look into, seeing that how this is a rising issue and i honestly can't see it stopping any time in the near future. So by looking into this i hope that i can find out if there is being anything done to prevent this or at least slow it down on a major level.

..........There are going to be some other questions that i am going to use in my essay to find out more on my main question. Is the music industry taking any action on this? If so what are some of their actions? How are some bands/artists dealing with this? Is this affecting their profit making on a major level? When people get caught illegally downloading do they actually get in trouble or do they just get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again? These are just a few of the questions that i am going to use to in my research. I'm sure i will think of more and answer them as i proceed deeper in this project.I would like to know what are some ways the music industry generates profit seeing that how many people just download their work off line free of charge. This is known as illegally downloading music.
