Abstract
This paper discusses the music recording industry and how it has been impacted by digital music distribution. The paper relates that the early success the music labels had against the initial music file downloading sites were short lived, and legitimate digital downloading sites have since prospered. The paper then argues that major recording labels are suffering from the decline in CD sales, not because of music pirating, but because they refuse to recognize that consumers demand digital music downloading for its convenience and portability. The paper further emphasizes that digital music distribution and retailing is the future of the music industry and every relevant party seems to recognize this, except the music industry itself.
Outline:
Overview
Restructuring of the music Industry
New distribution model & Itunes
Online distribution variations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The music industry, in spite of its ineptitude and obstinacy over the past decade regarding digital music downloading, is finally realizing that whether it embraces downloading services such as iTunes and others, it must evolve with the digital age or face irrelevance. In order to compensate for the loss of revenues, the recording music industry has been examining their base revenues in order to determine if digital downloads can compensate completely for the decline in sales of CDs. Two of the major record labels, Sony and BMG, have even merged in order to expand their catalogues (Recording, 2007). There have been efforts made to encourage EMI to merge with one of the remaining three major record labels but thus far these remaining major record labels have resisted further consolidation. However, EMI undertook its own internal restructuring by merging its two main record labels in the US market during the first half of 2007 and Warner Music was sold during 2004 creating even more churn in the industry (Recording, 2007). Yet, perhaps the most visible change is the industry is the downsizing or disappearance of retail music stores, which has begun to accelerate."

Digital Technology and Copyright, 2005.
This paper discusses digital technology and copyright infringement, focusing on the case of Napster.
2,700 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 6 sources, $ 106.95

Abstract
The paper explains that the case of Napster is typical of copyright infringement because it demonstrates just how inadequate legislation is as it relates to digital technology. The paper explains that in addition, Napster represents just one area where copyright can be violated. The paper shows how the Napster case reveals that in terms of digital technology, the fundamental issue concerns how to reconcile the traditional concept of contributory liability with the widespread use of digitized works made available by the Internet.
From the Paper
"With the advent of digital technology, research has found that as many as 90 percent of all Internet users and about 70 percent of users who share files freely admit that copyright is not an issue for them. These people regularly download many different kinds of files, ranging from movies to computer programs. The most likely individuals to download music and share files are students. Young adults behave in comparable ways since they also normally are not concerned about the copyright status of whatever files they download. Music is very easily downloaded, and it is far easier to download music than full-length feature movies."

Abstract
As the globe becomes more dependent on digital technology to exchange information over the Internet societies are becoming more concerned with issues of privacy. Individuals surfing the net, purchasing products over the Internet, and corresponding with others via the World Wide Web are required to provide personal information that has the potential of being used illegally in many ways. The United States has relied on the wording of the fourth amendment of the constitution in past years to address privacy issues in the country. Yet, as digital technology has evolved the focus on this amendment to resolve privacy concerns in relation to digital media is restricted by privacy in relation to search and seizure. This paper discusses the issues of privacy in relation to digital media, focusing on how these issues are handled in the United States and Canada.

The paper continues by giving specifics of the recording industry decline and by explaining why the Latin American music industry is particularly affected. Finally, the paper devotes some discussion on possible ways to approach the problem.
Specifics of the Recording Industry Decline
Fighting Music Piracy
Global Connections and the Motive Behind the Money
Offsetting the Power of Consumers to Burn Personal CD?s
Shutting Down Peer-to-Peer Networks or Turning Them into Revenue
Channels
From the Paper
"According to Buckley (2000) while U.S. recording industry officials wring their hands over Napster, the worldwide black market for illicitly copied music is growing even faster. Sales of pirated music topped half a billion units last year and cost the music industry $5 billion in lost revenues. As of the turn of the 21st century, one in three CDs sold around the world last year were copies, churned out in pirate?s hidden factories that can press up to 100,000 discs a day, according to the International Federation of Phonographic Industries. In Brazil, Latin America's music piracy leader, ?40 percent of CDs and 99 percent of cassettes sold were illegal copies, a total value of $180 million,? said IFPI. ?In Mexico, the 1999 pirate music market was worth $70 million, or 40 percent of all music sold, the agency reported.? (Buckley, 2000)"

Technology and the Future of Music, 2008.
This paper looks at the impact of technology on the world of music today and in the future.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the future of music and technology is a market and legal issue. The writer points out that in an ideal world, the critical voices in this discussion would be fans and the musicians, but that has become something of a secondary issue. The interesting point in this situation is that a wide range of music is still available, though niche market exposure. The writer notes that big business and new technologies push mainstream acts into the aural limelight as copyright legalities continue to be debated. The writer concludes that a lot of noise will continue to be generated around this issue, but that ultimately the record companies will have to stop complaining and find a way to adapt to their business environment.
From the Paper
"It does not follow that corporate oligarchies can actually limit what we hear; they can only limit their list of recommendations. Regarding the Sony pundits, their statement asks listeners to put more faith in the future of technologies, so that eventually, we can listen to something new. But innovative acts such as Charlie Parker, the Sex Pistols, and Karlheinz Stockhausen did not come from big business. They just used whatever technology was available. That is not the same thing as making new music.
"It would be fairer to admit straight out that music technology will probably continue to surprise us."

Technology and Music, 2002.
A discussion on technology and innovation and their impact on the music industry.
710 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the ways in which technology and innovation have challenged the music industry, with an economic perspective in mind, drawing on current articles and supports. In particular, it looks at the move from the LP to the CD and more recently, the innovation of MP3 technology which has forced the industry to make swift choices about marketing strategies. It evaluates the legal aspects of downloading free music from the internet and copyright violations through examples of lawsuits.
From the Paper
"Even though bootlegged copies of popular albums had been available for decades, the poor quality of these products limited this impact on the music industry. But the emergence of the MP3 changed not only the way that consumers accessed product, but also the way that artists and their labels contemplated their business. The quality of the product offered by MP3 technology rivaled the CD market, leaving little room for consumer discretion in this regard."

Abstract
Along with great technological advances, the digital music industry has created widespread controversy. Over the last five years, the digital music industry has become a very prominent tool for recording, dispersing, and consuming music. This paper discusses the conflict between the recording industry and sites such as KaZaa and Napster that promote peer-to-peer file-sharing. The author shows both sides of the argument and provides a personal opinion on the issue.
From the Paper
"The RIAA has also filed a suit against Diamond Multimedia for the Rio portable device that they have manufactured which is used to play MP3?s. This device allows its users to transfer MP3 files from their computer to the Rio. It also allows its users to make second-generation copies (copies of copies). There are numerous new portable MP3 players out on the market today, but because of the lack of restriction the Rio placed on second-generation copies it was forced to be taken off the market."

Abstract
This paper looks at the impact of the internet on businesses, specifically the music industry, and the benefits of systems and technologies that can be implemented to counteract the negative effects of the web on one's business.
From the paper:
"That is why the record industry launched the Secure Digital Music Initiative. This was supported by both record companies and hardware manufacturers, in December 1998, with a promise to have agreed on technical specifications by June last year. SDMI participants include music content, consumer electronics, information technology, and wireless telecommunication companies. SDMI's work is based on the core principles that copyrights should be respected, but that those who wish to use unprotected formats should be able to do so. (Teller, 2000) The specification developed by SDMI will answer consumer demand for convenient accessibility to quality digital music, enable copyright protection for artists' work, and therefore enable technology and music companies to build successful businesses."

Digital Music, 2005.
This paper explores the causes of unethical MP3 music file sharing on the Internet.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the unethical piracy of music file through P2P servers that is reflected in computer technology. The paper looks at American legal issues in file sharing and the global problem of pirate file sharing companies that are beyond the reach of the law and are the main causes for pirating MP3 files. The paper is of the opinion that through these causes of the unethical use of music files on the Internet, the ambiguities of law and technology must be resolved in order to prevent the property of the music industry from being further violated.
From the Paper
"This computer study will examine the causes of the unethical use of MP3 file sharing services that now reside on the World Wide Web. By understanding the causes of that advancement of computer technology, U.S. legal issues for file sharing and the growing globalization in the music industry, one can realize how MP3 file sharing has become an unethical issue in the modern era. The first cause for the loss of business that the major record labels have been receiving has been the evolution of music into a digital format. Since the 1990's the growing digital formatting of music has become a major problem for controlling the way that music is dispersed across the world."

From the Paper
"On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse-inventor of the telegraph-relayed the first message ever sent electronically: "What hath God wrought!" (Reynolds 9). Clearly, Morse comprehended some of the implications this momentous achievement suggested. It is unlikely, however, that anyone fully grasped what the future would hold for communications. From the telegraph to the telephone to the internet, it appears that man-not God-demands ever progressive technologies to exchange ideas and information with those distanced from him. "This long history of technical innovation in communications ultimately brought forth an era of inexpensive high-speed data services." (Reynolds 9)."

Technological Literacy of Technology Education Teachers, 2005.
This paper is a research proposal to survey industrial technology education teachers in the State of Arizona to determine their acceptance and use of the "Standards for Technological Literacy" (STL) and to assess standards-based training needs.
9,480 words (approx. 37.9 pages), 36 sources, APA, $ 194.95

Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."
