Today in the music world a new element has been added into the mix of the industry. An element some view as a threat to music but I see it more as a threat to overly rich performers who might not afford that new beach house in Cancun. This threat is one of several programs which link thousands of computers together so they can share millions of files with each other giving you access to almost every song ever created. I believe that this program "Morpheus" will have nothing less than a positive affect on the music industry. About a year ago a few of my friends had acquired a program called "Napster", this program enabled then to download almost and song they could think of or desire, new and old. I was blown away by this simple amazing idea which caused me next to pose the immediate question, once I calmed down, "how much is this amazing program going cost and if there would be a monthly fee?" I was stunned to find out it was completely free! As soon as I got home I was online and typi
Now I was able to take my digital gold I had mined from the river of data that flowed through my computer to a portable, playable CD, custom made by me. This would lower CD prices and lower the income of over paid performers. Also by doing this it would stop some of the performers who produce music for nothing more than the high income and celebrity status. They will say that the loss of millions of CD copies sold will crush the music industry by reducing the profit gained by the artist, causing bands to go broke. While I agree that the bands will definitely lose money surely not enough to make them go broke especially the one's that have to worry about the influx of songs illegally downloaded off the internet. Notice that I've been carefully making the distinguishment between artists and performers because there is a big difference. Only the strong passionate artist will remain and prevail through the tumbling fake bands of today. Performer's who's looks and appeals won the audience, not their talent and creativity in music. This new invention must be monitored and regulated but not to be banned like an illegal blow against the music economy. I know the long term affect will be positive but the immediate results of this will be nothing short of negative and that is how I can relate to the legitimate people who see this to be a disaster to the music industry. I think, although I would not like it, there should be a small monthly fee and some royalties paid to some of the artist if needs be. Limited only by the speed of my modem I started my collection of music on my computer sifting through files like a miner looking for gold, every now and then I struck it rich with the song I was looking for. An artist creates his own music while a performer performs catchy jingles that someone else is paid to write, once in while adding in some of their own lyrics.
