Thu, 03 Jun 2010 23:00:00 -0700 MUSIC PIRACY & P2P TECHNOLOGY http://mattpearson.posterous.com/music-piracy-and-p2p-technology http://mattpearson.posterous.com/music-piracy-and-p2p-technology

Music Piracy is on a continuous uprise, and is unlikely to seize any time soon. ‘Limewire,’ and other P2P programs are becoming easier to use to download illegitimate copies of music. CD burning, is another leading process in the piracy world.

  Between the constant uprise in P2P technologies, and the use of CD burning (see cd-burning for more) technologies, new artists are going to continually find it harder to make a living in the recording industry. Putting a stop to piracy will more-than-likely not happen any time soon, so preventative measures need to be taken to decrease the availability of pirate music.

File sharing is a method of distributing electronically stored information such as digital media including movies, TV shows, and music. One of the most common file-sharing methods is the peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution model. The following PDF provides a more in-depth analysis of P2P file-sharing. http://www.afact.org.au/pdf/home/AFACT_p2pfactsheet_RGB_2.pdf

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:58:00 -0700 CD BURNING http://mattpearson.posterous.com/cd-burning http://mattpearson.posterous.com/cd-burning

Since the inception of the CD in 1982, and the CD-Burner in 1988, CD burning has become ever-so-popular. Because of this, there seems to have been a constant decrease in CD sales. Although the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 states that copyright holders can’t sue users for making personal copies of a recording, it however, does not allow users to mass-produce illegitimate copies for private sale.

By burning illegitimate copies of CD’s, recording artists are going to lose money. However, ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) suggests that “ultimately it is the consumer that is going to be at a loss. With copying rampant there is diminishing motive to invest in music production or risk supporting new talent. File-sharing and CD burning contributes to the slow but steady weakening of the local and international music industry.”

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:40:00 -0700 PIRACY FACTS http://mattpearson.posterous.com/piracy-facts http://mattpearson.posterous.com/piracy-facts

"Various music industry trade groups claim that piracy is killing their industry, and are suing file traders and the sites they use. Are music sales, revenue, and profits down? Are MP3 downloads preventing music sales or do they instead help advertise new music? Are paid music downloads profitable or are they still insignificant?" Read more at http://www.roughlydrafted.com/RD/RDM.Tech.Q1.07/708F20CD-E67D-45C7-AF95-3E1A6AC07C37.html

 

"Music theft can take various forms: individuals who illegally upload or download music online, online companies who build businesses based on theft and encourage users to break the law, or criminals manufacturing mass numbers of counterfeit CDs for sale on street corners, in flea markets or at retail stores. Across the board, this theft has hurt the music community, with thousands of layoffs, songwriters out of work and new artists having a harder time getting signed and breaking into the business." Read on at http://riaa.org/physicalpiracy.php.

 

P2P technologies will continue to improve and enhance over time. Unfortunately for recording musicians, this also means that CD sales are likely to plummet even further. As John Mayer states on MIPI, 40% of his CD sales have already been depleted. In 5 years time, it is possible and likely that his and other artists sales will plummet to an extremely low amount.

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:33:00 -0700 MIPI: MUSIC INDUSTRY PIRACY INVESTIGATIONS STATISTICS http://mattpearson.posterous.com/mipi-music-industry-piracy-investigations-sta http://mattpearson.posterous.com/mipi-music-industry-piracy-investigations-sta

Music Piracy refers to the process in which there has been a deliberate infringement of copyright laws. In general, there are two (2) main types of piracy; Physical and Internet. Many internet based applications can heavily contribute to the piracy world. Programs including ‘Limewire,’ and even ‘Youtube,’ adversely affect the music industry. How have these programs adversely decreased record sales? (http://www.mipi.com.au/What-is-music-piracy.html)

 

MIPI Statistics suggest that:

  • Around 2.8 million Australians download music illegally via file sharing networks every year. Of these, three quarters claim to download every month.
  • 1 in 3 kids in the 14-17 year age group illegally download music regularly.
  • On average, Australians download approximately 30 songs a month. This totals a staggering 1 billion songs being illegally traded by Australians per year.
  • Close to 70% of Australians agree that illegal file sharing is stealing. Only half of all 14-24 year olds agree with this statement.
  • Almost half of illegal file sharers themselves agree that illegal file sharing is stealing.
  • Over half of illegal file sharers question “why should they have to pay to download music when they can get it for free via file sharing networks.”
  • Among illegal file sharers, more than half admitted that they feel bad that artists lose income because of illegal file sharing activity.
  • Almost three quarters of the general population feel bad that illegal file sharing is impacting on the lives and incomes artists.
  • The majority of people that download music illegally rarely or never go on to purchase the music legitimately.

Digital technologies have continually been enhanced over the past 50 years. With the enhancement of digital technology, ther  has also been an increase in the illegal process known as music piracy.  Music Piracy has been considered to have negative effect on the music industry. How have programs such as ‘Limewire’ decreased record sales?
