Let’s take a look at how much we have changed through purchasing music. ... The record had two sides of recorded music on it and was played on a record player. ... Which really didn’t matter because you were happy with the music. ... The music industry really thought they had their act together when these items were introduced to the consumer. ... This made the Music industry go to the etch board along with the geeks and come up with a product called a CD (Compact Disc) Player. ... They along with other major record companies got together along with the computer industry and formed a board called Secure Digital Music Initiative aka SDMI. This group of people thought they would take their music to another level…. ... SDMI along with the record companies patented a music contraption called MP3. ... Which meant the consumer would never be able to create a library of music. The argument was copyright for the artist (recorded music companies) and royalties (the Publishing companies). ... One day while in his dorm he created a program that would enable you to swap music with one another via the Internet. It was a phenomenon in this country everyone was downloading Music from Napster. ... Napster felt, why should we have to pay for music four and five times over. ...
What happened after that was the Music Companies thought, well, we can’t beat this guy we might as well join him. Now the record companies have banned with Napster and came up with a service that will allow you to pay a fee monthly and get to download a limited amount of music for the month.
