'Music industry Essay\r'

'Elaine McArdle said, â€Å"The unison industry is struggling with a near blown crisis”. What could possibly be pushing the melody industry into a crisis one might ask, illegally downloading free music. In the essay, Up on Downloading, ternion Harvard Law School professors argon trying to go up up with different solutions to this problem that is occurring. Now that our applied science has become so advanced, many race are figuring expose ways to cheat the system, and when wad are non paying for the music they bring on downloaded, the artist is not getting remunerative.\r\nArtists are not the only one losing money but everyone problematical producing the music is losing money as well. There is too less and less people going out and buying CD’s. I could probably not even remember the last time I purchased a CD. So how are the artists and producers suppose to concur money when we are stealing from them? Zittrain, Nesson, and Fisher suppose they could possi bly have the solution to save the music industry. Fisher’s model â€Å"would replace the right of first publication system with a brass-administered compensation plan, funded by a tax on hardware and other systems use to play digital music” (McArdle, pg1).\r\nEveryone would be able to download music for free, but everyone would have an extra tax on their internet service, blank CD’s, and any other digital device. The artists would be paid by the government based on the turning of downloads their music receives. I totally disagree with this model. We already pay countless number of taxes, and many people do not even download music. why should they be taxed on something else that does not affect them? I also feel our government has enough on their hands as it. We have had many government scandals recently and if I were an artist I would not want to be paid through the government.\r\n'
