X-Napster
The infamous Napster under attack for it's pirating of music from famous musician's needs to be shut down. Piracy is a major issue of moral standards, right, and wrong in the entertainment world. Napster is well known for it's sharing of MP3 files through the Internet; taking, receiving, and bootlegging. Over 70% of college students said they use Napster at least once a month. The majority of its users are aware that Napster is an illegal bootlegging website, the federal government says. The U.S. Copyright Office says Napster's operations are clearly illegal under the very law Napster hopes will make its senior executives and well-heeled investors filthy rich which was written in 1992 saying that if a person wants to compile music to a personal CD for self then its ok. But in that law there was never any mention of legal dissemination to obtain the music. I oppose Napster because they have no coherent or viable plan to compensate artists. If Napster makes money off the dissemination of an artists copyrighted material then the artist should participate in those profits. (Currently Napster does not make a profit, however the fact that they raised at something like $40,000,0
"BURNED" CD's are a major issue in the U. Until a resolution the problem can only get worse. To download from a website, and save it to a CD, or your computer. People should really think twice about enriching such an irresponsible corporation. Commercial radio stations generate revenue off of the use of copyrighted material. I also believe that such an alternate system based upon downloading, and uploading songs off the Internet is very feasible. Conversely without the prospect of illegally downloading music, videos and software for free no one would use this service. CD burners have also helped Napster. If Fred Durst and Courtney Love (musicians) want their songs to be a part of such a system that's fine. Through longstanding arrangements with BMI and ASCAP a portion of that money (however small) is shared with the songwriters. Napster attorneys have stated that the company is "not responsible for illegal usage" of its service. Recent studies have shown music stores around college campuses have had their sales cut after the onset of Napster. If you just travel to any university in the country you'll understand the issue. But the million dollar question is; should Napster be shut down because of it's illegal sharing of files?? The answer is YES.
