I would to inform all of you that I finally compiled a report on my blog and presented it to my panel judges – Today!
Don’t worry, I sailed through the presentation.
However, I couldn’t complete my blog without thanking all of you who have read and commented on my blog. I couldn’t have done this without YOU!
Internet music piracy is riding at record levels and is set to rise as newly emboldened consumers revolt against high online prices and controversial technology designed to prevent digital bootlegging. To me, the battle over music piracy is like the war on drugs: You can’t win it, but you can fight it forever, and spend millions on the battle. We all come from different walks of life and represent many different points of views. However, we all agree about this: whether you’re talking about using peer-to-peer services like Kazaa or LimeWire to “share” digital music files with millions of people on the Internet or about compiling a collection of your favorite songs and then using a CD burner to make copies for all your friends, copying and distributing copyrighted music without permission is ILLEGAL!
Keith Urban, Grammy Award Nominee for Best Country Instrumental Performance: “Downloading can be a great way to share music, but downloading music illegally threatens the future of everyone that depends on you for their livelihood. Get music the right way! If you download, do it legally!”
The rules are very simple. Unless you own the copyright, it’s not yours to distribute.
So tell me what would you do if the Music Industry depended on you to stop music piracy?
