Should People Download Music from the Internet for Free?
Your parents never imagined the future would allow them to download music from the Internet, but for you, it’s as easy as a few clicks of a computer mouse.
Napster, Gnitella and Aimster are only a few of the many Internet sites that allow visitors to download or upload digital music tracks. Music fans everywhere are getting the tunes they want from the Internet now – for free.
These music – sharing sites have opponents- chiefly the Recording Industry Association of America, which represents the companies that make and sell CDs. The RIAA sued Napster for copyright infringement, and as of Score’s press date, Napster was still in US. District Court fighting for its right to exist.
Many people see music – sharing sites as the wave of the future. “Napster and those Internet radio stations are going to be the norm,” says rapper Ice-T. “People need to get over it.”
But some people can’t get over it – including the band Metallica. They say that Napster and free-music fans are stealing their profits and endangering musicians’ ability to earn a living. They say that CD sales will drop because people will have no reason to pay for a CD when they can get the songs they like for free from the Internet. What do you think? Is it right to download music for free off the Internet?
