Topic > Downloading music from the Internet - 2163

Who downloads? Many advances in computer technology have occurred throughout the years of the computer age. It all started with people getting access to the Internet, then people started understanding the Internet, and finally people learned to overpower the Internet. In recent years the music download factor has had a strong impact. Most of the Internet population tends to believe that there is nothing wrong with getting free songs, but there are a select few who believe that it is morally wrong. Overall, I really like having free access to music; it allows you to try new music without worrying about making purchases and having a negative effect. This is a great way to save money, as well as make your music selection more diverse. I can consider myself a good example of a music downloader; I have been in the computer age for several years and have learned a lot about the Internet and downloading it. From recent experience I have gained a lot of information about why downloading music is a great process. Most of the information presented here comes mainly from experience and recent articles published on the Internet. If you asked the average American if they believe that downloading music is a good advancement towards the Internet society, in response you would get 70% of people who agree. One person said, "Since downloading started, not only have I learned new music, but I've also discovered bands I never thought I'd find." (Discovering computer 2003) From a typical user you can learn a lot when you are not up to today's status. One of the main reasons why downloading is great is because it's free, accessible, and everyone can participate. All that consists... in the middle of the paper... is freedom of the press and I recognize it and the law also recognizes it, so let's leave it alone and everyone will be happy. Time and money should no longer be wasted in justice systems. Works Cited: Coates, J. (2002, October 28) Find song files from Napster using .MP3.Chicago Tribune. pp. B19Kloer, P.
