...Abstract The international administration of laws which can be combines with the risk of fines and imprisonment is not enough to dissuade the Pirate Bay from encouraging, boosting and helping copyright infringement. In some companies, file sharing services are provided to generate business revenue stream and sometimes these services are illegal and still used to advertise “clue chips brand”, (Andersen, B, 2010). So far there is enough potential for the business to be made, file sharing will sustain its existence in the global internet market. This papers focuses on the legal and social issues brought up by peer-to-peer sharing of files and copyrighted information on the websites. Companies argue that limitation against file sharing will pause the technology innovation. On the other side, it is certain that file sharing may break IP protections that Pirate bay knowingly exploits these protections. Research shows that the music industry has justification to shut down peer to peer file sharing which reduces the amount of file sharing but for the short term. As per the opinion of legal team, Pirate Bay is not a sustainable business and the paper focuses on the legal and social issues of illegal file sharing by Pirate Bay.

With the invention of this easy-to-use back up and synchronization system, Apple users are able to retrieve data from multiple devices. It is beneficial in being simple and easily accessible; however, there are some legal, ethical, and security issues that must be noted when using the service. However, with emerging technology comes further research. With the ongoing research on the iCloud service, Apple workers will be able to hurdle over these issues. Background iCloud is one of the newest, most brilliant services created by the Apple Corporation. It functions as a backup system on Apple products, such as the iPhone or iPad. Instead of having to go through the trouble of remembering to back up files such as music, photos, and other files like these, data on the device is automatically backed up through iCloud every time the piece of equipment is plugged in and connected to the Wi-Fi network (Smith, 2011). This service also helps the Apple user stay in sync with each device. By having this backup system, the material is put “in the cloud” and is able to be transferred from one Apple device to another through a wireless connection (Smith, 2011).

...Revolution In Digital Music Distribution Introduction Thesis Statement: Technological advancement has made the music industry got transformed overnight with the invention of the MP3 format compression technology and the introduction of the Internet file sharing services like Napster, Gnutella, and Scour thus seeing the major music labels taking almost anyone that is into digital music to court. The potential fear that led to the court actions center on how the music labels can possibly make any money if music becomes available in digital format for free. The question therefore is that if music is available free of cost, why would anyone pay for it? Could Napster conveniently say that it is indeed the first technology development to provide access to music content for free? Purpose of Study: This paper establishes the following: the industry conditions that led to the revolution in audio distribution while identifying which stakeholders are benefiting most or least; the reasons that made the music stores to attract many subscribers and what if any the record labels should have done differently; determine, if Apple allows its iPods to play non-iTunes songs, how long the success of iPods and iTunes endures; why musicians should sign away their copyright privileges to their songs through creative commons; and how podcasting would likely impact the appropriability of recorded music, radio broadcasting or other types of audio transmission.

In this paper is shown methods to dodge problem of digital piracy. There are two ways to protect legal digital content from piracy. Firstly, there is indirectly impact to society, where manufacturers are producing additional equipment like guitars for game “Guitar Hero” and forwarding special social services where people can play with each other via internet, so while people playing, system is checking license (Goel, 2010). In addition, companies perform free software with fewer options than paid software. Moreover, some organizations such as Free Software Association and Open Source agitation, which advert spreading software for free have helped to grapple with problem of expensive software and companies that gain from this, for example, Microsoft (Hill, 2007). Secondly, there is direct impact on users, where companies and internet providers use methods which impacts directly on users such as blocking peer-to-peer connections between users and web-sites where users can download pirated software.

...Sandra Richardson 090713457 Illegal digital downloads and piracy: What effect is this having on the entertainment industry and is there a solution to the problem? Background. The entertainment industry felt their first blow in 1999 when a student developed Napster, a software program allowing millions of users to illegally download and share music files; sparking the beginning of the hundreds of entertainment sharing websites around the world today. Although shut down due to the Recording Industry Association Of America filing a lawsuit because of copyright infringement and suppressed record sales, this did not stop the development of more sophisticated file sharing softwares able to manipulate copyright laws around the world. Downloading films became possible due to increased storage and memory space available on computers, enabling users to download multiple movies in a matter of hours, even before released in cinemas. Currently, Mass media storage devices are available that hold thousands of music and film files on a small box, transferred from the users computer. So what effect is all this having? Has the popularity of illegal downloading affected the profits and jobs of the entertainment industry? Is there a correlation between entertainment stores losing revenue or even going out of business because of suppressed sales and illegal downloads? Does this have a negative effect on the economy through job loss, reduced income tax, fewer artists growing and is there...

...Digital Music From phonographs all the way to mp3 players, music has had a huge impact on how each decade perceives and listens to their favorite songs and recording artists. The phonograph was first invented in 1877 when Thomas Edison attempted to improve the telegraph transmitter and realized the movement of the paper tape through the machine resembled spoken word when played at high speeds. Edison used a hard pointed instrument along with a tinfoil cylinder and spoke into the device “Mary had a little lamb,” soon realizing he was able to play it back. Without meaning to, Edison opened the door to the future of the music industry, making it possible for musicians to record and distributes their original work. 50 years later vinyl records would come into play, and by the 1950’s they were your main source to listen to music. Vinyl Records were most popular from the early 1950s’ to the 1980’s until Sony developed the first digital audio recording devices to be used by professional studios. The following year, Sony invented the portable Walkman cassette player, selling over 100 million in the first year. In 1988 Sony came out with the compact disc that would be the first use the new available digital format MP3, software that compresses and decompresses audio files.( "Digital vs. Analog Audio: Which Sounds Better?") This would set off the digital audio player revolution that achieved tremendous success when Apple’s iPod was released in 2001. The advancement of digital music has made...

...stereos, PCs, and other mobile handheld devices. According to Spanbauer, the only real obstacles in the expansion of this new digital revolution are the book publishers, movie studios, and record labels who are afraid that this new method of entertainment will eventually put them out of business. Now it is possible to download music files from Web sites, Usenet newsgroups, Napster, FTP servers, and other sources. At the time this article was published, users were able to download music files from Napster at no charge, rewrite them to audio CDs, and transfer them to handheld digital audio players or play them on their PC. As a result, the recording industry trade group claimed that these practices were hurting their sales and were able to get the courts to intervene on their behalf. Just in the last few months, Napster has begun charging fees to users who download some of their files. Although these are considered illegal copies, it hasn’t stopped big name manufacturers from marketing portable players to play music downloaded from these sites. In the future, there are sure to be controversies over actually who the user will pay for access to this music. At this point, it is safe to say that the battle is only...

...DeVry University 04/16/2015 Professor: Arthur Basler Illegal Downloading of Copyrighted Material I want to paint you a picture. The picture has two sides. One side is a group of copyright owners that live in a system and a mindset that has not been updated in over 100 years. This group has not adapted to the changing times. On the other side of this picture you have individual people that what to experience what artist of music, movie and software present to the world. What I am presenting to you is world around illegal downloading of copyrighted material. The question I present to you is this, how can we bring both sides of this picture together with both sides being able to get what they want? To begin lets go back a few years to around 1998. I am sure most of you have heard of Napster. For those that didn’t think was a new file sharing program that was able to download copyright material digitally. The processed worked by taking small parts of the overall file from multiple sources and piecing them back together on your end as a whole file. This was a huge problem to the recording industry and as such saw their record sales fall. Instead of the recording industry trying to work with the leaders of Napster and other programs to come up with a solution, the recording industry along with some artist sued Napster for lost revenue. In the end Napster lost their court battle, but this was not the end of illegal downloading of copyrighted material. Since this time the recording...
