Music downloading is a very sensitive subject. Musicians do not feel they are receiving the compensation they deserve for their work. The Recording Industry Association of America’s job is to see that illegal music downloading is stopped. It is an organization that is not afraid to do what it feels is necessary for the success of its platform, even if it means pressing charges against minors as young as twelve years of age. The music industry does not want the public to think this a money issue. They want everyone to understand that illegally downloading music is a violation of the first amendment and violates copyright laws. It is a fancy way of getting bootleg compact discs. It is a crime and it will not be tolerated anymore.
