Default The Controversy Of Music Downloading

Quoted from Hartford.edu


A famous artist once said, “Music brings the people together.” There is no truer statement when it comes to music. Music has been around since somewhere around the beginning of the human race. Music has this amazing power to inspire emotion into everyone that listens to it. There is a song for every emotion. There are songs that will make a person angry and there are those that will make a person cry. There are even songs that will make people fall in love. Music is something we use as an extension of ourselves. It allows a person to express there deepest feelings. Music is important part of every culture in the world no matter how big or small. In more recent times music has greatly evolved. It has moved beyond simple media to the computer world. One of the most popular formats for listening to music has become the computer. Nowadays people are able to download their favorite songs online. This however has not gone over well with the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and has brought up a very controversial debate that has been going on for several years now.
