The best way to stop pirates is…
I have discovered the website Ars Technica which has enlightened me about a lot of different aspects of music piracy and how it can be combatted, if it can be combatted.
In a recent post by the above United Kingdom site states the obvious by saying young people download music knowing it’s illegal but enjoy doing it anyway because of it’s benefits which are many and varied. Mostly the fact they get music for free which is forever theirs.
And fair enough. Having recently aquired Itunes, I see why kids would want free music, at almost and over $2 a song, that’s a LOT of money going into Steve Jobs’ pocket that I see barely anything in return for.
Another interesting point here is that people still listen to the humble CD! They won’t go away even with the digital age fast approaching.
LimeWire is popular amongst youngsters surveyed. Again, a fair point.
Basically if you want people to download music legally, make it REALLY cheap or free. Sorry guys, but that’s the only solution.
