Abstract
This paper relates that, while property rights in the music industry remain based upon rigid copyright laws, which give the copyright holder protection against any unlicensed copying or use of a music property, digital media has permitted widespread disregard for this law. The author points out that, even though there remains an opposing view by some people in the music industry that peer-to-peer (p2p) networks exchanging music amounts to theft of their property, a transformation in the understanding of property rights and music is underway on a global scale. The paper concludes that, as the phenomena of mashes and sampling indicate, artists and audiences have come to see digital music as a new medium for creative growth, which promises substantial changes in our popular music in the future.

Introduction
Copyright Law and the Question of Ownership
Peer-to-Peer Technologies and Music Exchange
Audiences and Music Property
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It must be noted that even this limited copying capability was the result of fierce renegotiations between Apple and the leading recording industry companies who were unhappy about the one fixed price business model, as well as Apple's limited support for the audience's right to copy music. However, this right was based upon a key limitation on copyright known as "fair use" in the United States, and "fair dealing" in Canada. Under "fair use", for example, it is possible to not only use a copyrighted work without the copyright holder's approval but even to do so over the owner's express objection."

Industry Overview
The Apple Influence on Expectations
Technology Convergence
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Myspace.com and others are revolutionizing the MRI by creating a substitute industry that if not properly compensated for by traditional MRI participants could eventually supplant them. Consumer expectations have crystallized around the concept of total access across formats to their music and musical tastes and the future of the MRI, due to the online distribution of music and the evolving expectations of the consumer, rests with its ability to agree on a universally accepted electronic format for its music files."

Digital Downloading and its Impact on the Music Industry, 2008.
A detailed description of the effects that digital music distribution has on the music industry.

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."

Conclusion
Appendix A
From the Paper
"Home Accessories International (HAI) is a provider of various accessories to the home. Traditionally distribution of goods has been performed via a network of specialised distributors across Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Senior management has recently decided to migrate an existing product line, windowsill protectors, to an online distribution system (e-tailing) in order to reduce the costs involved in relying on agents to market the goods to retail customers. This will be a test case which will be closely observed by other divisions of HAI. If successful, implementation will be extended throughout the company. E-tailing is unlikely to attract new customers in the first instance and this is not the aim of the project. Management will be satisfied to maintain the existing customer base during the first year of online operation."

Threats Faced by Online Retailing in Taiwan
The Taiwanese Market and the Market's Readiness for Online Retailing
P.E.S.T. Analysis of Taiwan
Porter's Market Analysis of the Online Retail Market
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the market share of the product lines of the company. Similarly, there is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the sales that the company can hope to make using online retail concepts. For example, a market that has a large number of Internet users will have larger volume of online purchasers. At the same time however, the Internet can also offer individuals located at destinations that are very geographically apart an option to purchase products that might have otherwise not been available to them. Therefore, a customer in Taiwan could purchase a product from a store based in the U.S., U.K. or Australia without ever having to leave their homes."

Conclusion
Appendix A
From the Paper
"Gripping Stuff Entertainment (GSE) is an entertainment service provider specialising in movie rentals. Traditionally distribution of videos and DVDs was accomplished via the GSE stores from which they were rented. Senior management has recently decided to migrate from the traditional distribution system to an online version in order to reduce costs resulting from physical storefront rentals and maintenance and also in order expand the customer base. A very real risk is that existing customers will be drawn over to competing home entertainment providers while GSE implements this migration. In order to mitigate this risk and also to increase general customer loyalty to the GSE brand, a loyalty programme will be launched and integrated with the new internet distribution channel. Offering loyalty incentives to those customers who choose to utilise the internet mode of distribution will increase internet sales penetration of the market while increasing overall loyalty to GSE."

Online Star Newspaper: 27 April 2007
Printed Version
From the Paper
"When scrutinising advertisements in the two editions of the newspaper it is visible that the products and target markets were different based on the media being used. Despite that fact, advertisements are important to both versions of the newspaper. In terms of user friendliness, both newspaper versions have their problems and advantages, with the paper edition being part of a societal and historical habit, despite being more difficult to navigate compared to the electronic version. The electronic version tends to overcrowd the homepage, leading to confusion at times. Finally, interactivity is the element that best separates the two versions of newspaper that have been compared. The paper version is a classic that has been and will be around for a very long time; however, it cannot compete with the vast interactivity offered by the electronic version. Ultimately, online journalism adds a new and useful dimension to a profession that always has use for new forms of communication and information."

From the Paper
"Meanwhile, the coming of the new millennium has brought new and more challenging technologies. Different forms of communications such as Internet, mobile phones and SMS, Internet chat or MIRCs, and e-groups penetrated majority of the countries around the world. Communication through computer - generated networks became very visible. This enables any individual to talk with someone you cannot see in a face-to-face basis, to buy something and have it delivered without having to go out of your home, to research for any information with just one click on the Internet, or to meet new friends. Even on - line studies or distance education through computer - generated communication sprouted like mushrooms. More and more schools started to offer distance form of learning to accommodate students who, due to lack of time, opted to enroll in a much "scheduled-free" learning method. Furthermore, the idea of learning through online gave birth to online academic communities, as pioneered by Stanford University's Club Nexus. This academic community brings the students of the same preference closer to one another and at the same time broadens the students "world"."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the field continues to expand attention turns to evaluating its effectiveness. Online opportunities abound because of the advantages however, there have been recent concerns about the quality of education that they provide. The teacher is not face to face with the students. If they have questions they must wait until they get an email or chat response. There are more opportunities for academic dishonesty without in person discussion and testing. While online education can provide a valuable benefit to the students of the world it is important to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of such a path so that future courses can become even better."

There were two variables, which included course flexibility and program flexibility."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the extensive collection, sharing and exchange of information between online companies to create profiles of individuals has become a major concern for privacy advocates. The paper defines online profiling and looks at the three primary categories of privacy concerns and the three segments of consumers who hold different views on privacy. The paper examines the benefits and concerns and contends that consumers deserve better protection of their online privacy. The paper maintains that the solution for the above problems is to make opting-in mandatory for all online profiling. The paper shows how there is no need for businesses to violate privacy rights as they are currently doing by insisting on invasive online profiling practices.

From the Paper
"Online profiling may involve the collection of anonymous transactional data and it may also involve the merger of this click stream data with personally identifiable information such as name, address, telephone number, credit card number, social security number, email address, etc. (Sax, 1999) A click stream is the sequence of clicks or pages requested as a visitor explores a Web site. The click stream data collected may include information such as Web sites and Web pages visited, the time and duration of the visit, search terms typed in search engines' forms, and other queries, purchases, "click through" responses to advertisements, and the previous page visited (Mulligan, 1999)."

Online vs. Traditional Degrees, 2004.
This paper compares online or distance degrees through the Internet and traditional degrees by attending class.
845 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although many experts believe an online degree is simply not as effective as a traditional degree, studies consistently show there is little difference in the outcomes between online and traditional learning. The author points out that most experts agree that, for meaningful online education, there must be student-to-student interaction and well-timed, student-to-teacher feedback. The paper stresses that, to succeed in online education, students must be motivated to complete the course on their own, be comfortable in an insulated environment where they do not have face-to-face contact with other students and their instructor, and must be extremely comfortable with computers and technology; procrastinators will not survive many online courses.
From the Paper
"While many more schools are jumping on the distance education bandwagon, the question remains, how effective is distance education versus traditional in-class education? Many educators believe there are many positive outcomes from distance education, as one expert notes, "Contrary to intuition, current Web-based online college courses are not an alienating, mass-produced product. They are a labor-intensive, highly text-based, intellectually challenging forum which elicits deeper thinking on the part of the students and which presents, for better or worse, more equality between instructor and student". However, much of the business community is still quite hesitant to recognize online education as a viable alternative to the traditional degree process."

Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The vast majority of people in the mental health community feel that there is a huge ethical burden that online therapists are required to bear. These ethics are really no different from the ethics that are in place at traditional practices. However, these ethics are more difficult to enforce because of the lack of physical contact that the therapist and the patient have. For this reason, psychologists must be given a clear description of the ethical challenges that they face and how they can be addressed. Carlson and Harvey (2003) assert that many organizations in the mental health arena have begun to address these issues and make them clear to practitioners."
