I you should feel com[pelled to get substandard quality downloaded music instead of buying a disk and getting the package, then by all means use Kazaa or I-tunes, or even NAPSTER for that matter, just don’t get the false impression that you are giving something back to the artist who made the music, nobody has seen any money yet. So when you download Muddy Waters, does Back Street boys get compensated? When you download Ray Charles, are you giving money to Britney Spears? Nobody kbows how to allocate the funds so they are sitting in limbo, but at least nobody is STEALING anything here, uh sorta.Īs for bands I manage, they have no issue with people trading music, it’s what makes people stars and gets music heard when not owned by the US giants, which no artist benefits from.
Last year, I-Tunes turned up with several million dollars in paid service thay neither they nor th elabels know how to allocate. The problem that they haven’t solved is that they are collecting money for each artist based on what is downloaded. All of it free and without any adware or advertising.
By using the ED2K and Kademlia Network it supports semi-centralized as well as decentralized searches and operations. The move away from litigation represented a major shift in strategy for the music industry group, which had filed lawsuits against some 35,000 people for online music piracy since 2003.Kazaa as owned by sharman networks is a pay for use service and yes it is somehow legal as are all the other so called “above board companies(itunez, Rolling Stone etc.). Welcome What is eMule eMule is a free and open-source peer-to-peer file sharing client, allowing you to connect to millions of users to download and share files with them. In December, the RIAA said it will stop suing people who download music illegally and focus instead on getting Internet Service Providers to take action. Thomas-Rasset was the first among those being sued to refuse a settlement and instead took the case to court. The Recording Industry Association of America and major music labels have brought suit against thousands of people for illegally downloading and sharing music, with most agreeing to settlements of between $US3000 and $US5000 dollars. Thomas-Rasset had been convicted previously, in October 2007, and ordered to pay $US220,000 ($275,000) in damages but the judge who presided over that trial threw out the verdict calling it "wholly disproportionate" and "oppressive". It ordered Thomas-Rasset to pay $US80,000 ($100,000) per song to six record companies: Capitol Records, Sony BMG Music, Arista Records, Interscope Records, Warner Bros.
