able to download a wide variety of files from the internet with ease and
minimal amount of time. The improvement of the capacity of database,
finding a particular file on the internet is so efficient and convenient

people¹s daily routine. For many internet users, downloading MP3 song
files are very common act. Some poplar MP3 search program includes WinMX
and Kazaa. Users simply download the program and install it on to their
computer in a process that takes about five minutes. Then user types in
a singer or song name, then the search program will search other online
users¹ share files and if the target is found, the user can now download
it from the other user. Therefore, these search engine software does

take advantage of their already existing habit of downloading musics
from the internet by offering online trading of music. This may sound
like a very good plan, but to totally block users from exchanging music
files is very difficult. However, with the advance of technology,
computer experts may be able to figure out a way in the future where
internet users can keep enjoying the convenience of getting music from
the net while the music industry get its credit for producing the great
music.

this is a good idea, but at the same time, with the new technology
arising, the net will find another way around the music industry to
allow teens the freedom they have now to download music at will and free
of charge. It is a battle going on between the industry and web surfers
and who comes up with the best use of the new technology first.

I believe that the music industry has suffered great losses since mp3's
have become easily available to the public. Yet, i feel that there is
noway that this revolution can be stopped, audio sound is to easily
transffered, making it almost impossible for record companies to stop
this piracy.

Hi.
I understand that downloading music from the internet is seen to be a
large problem today. However, I feel that downloaders are not doing
anything wrong. Being such a globally used tool, the internet is full
of information which is shared by millions each day, so why should the
sharing of music be made illegal? Downloading music has given so many
musicians fame and recognition who may not have otherwise even been
heard of. I don't think record companies should try to sell files which
users already have access to. No matter what measures are taken, there
will always be ways around them and those who want to download their
music for free will not be stopped by anyone or thing.

It would be really great if users could get music of internet while
still giving credit to the industry and people who produce music. It
would be the best solution to all people affect by downloaded music

To protect copyright, and invasion of privacy. The government should
have a stronger regulations on internet downloads. Although, it is a
very difficult task to achieve, but to protect the rights of the
producer, this regulation should be applied as soon as possible. Also,
massive downloads from internet will be a great cost to the economy.
Due to these reasons, I believe is time for the government to take
actions.
