All these are methods of downloading illegal music. Prices have almost doubled for individual songs on. Record labels to buy an artists entire album when it can just be listened to online on
Although I am an advocate for pirating I was totally surprised when I found out that close to 95 percent of all music downloads are illegal. That's a SHIT ton of money. IFPI Chief Executive John Kennedy said that it was hurting the industry severally. Despite piracy rising, the amount of services that are offered from the music industry has increased. Programs like Orange Monkey, Kudos, Pandora, Spotify and Rhapsody have emerged and help contain the amount of illegal downloads. They however, don't see that this doesn't exactly make people download legally, it just makes them listen to music legally. Some artists still get revenue when there songs are played on these services but they don't get nearly as much. If companies really want to crack down on music they need to stop being the ones who are giving so much free access to it.
