Pirates are people who download or sell entertainment [cds, mp3s, dvds, etc] illegally. It is illegal to download music without paying. Record Companies make more money without people jacking their music.

In this article, “pirate” means someone who copies ones ideas and sells them off as there own, or also known as piracy. It is illegal for people to buy music for free, but from only certain sites, which could be using piracy to get the music. IT IS BASICALLY STEALING!!!! Record companies can send out there music to be sold for free on the web into I pods, so it can get more popularity.

Pirates are people who download digital files, such as music or movies, illegally from the internet, without paying. It is legal to download some music without paying. On Itunes they have songs that are free. Other music is illegal to download for free. With this new policy record companies make more money per song, and they will be able to keep up with rivals like Amazon.

ReplyDeleteThe term Pirate in this sense means someone who ileaglly aquires (a.k.a steals) music. If you download music for free it is most likely ileagal. If you acquire a free song that would have to either mean the artist gave it away for free or you stole it. With this new policy record companies will make more money per song. Makeing their bussiness more wealthy. - Tanner DuVall

In this article, "pirates" are people who of illegally download or sell music or DVDs. It is illegal to download music without paying because it is equivalent to stealing. These new policies will help the record companies stop the very common form of stealing
ReplyDelete.In this article the word "pirating" means to illegally download music off the internet without permission. Yes and no because sometimes it is legal to download music without paying if you have permission, but it is not when you are doing it without being told you can. The advantage for recording companies with this new policy is that they’ll stop losing money and start making more.
ReplyDeletePirates in this sense are people who download and/or distribute music for free over the internet illegally. Downloading music for free off of the internet is illegal. The advantage for the record companies is that they can charge more for their new, popular songs and charge less than the usual $.99 for their older, less popular songs.

"Pirating" is anything that have to do with illegally dealing with computers, and with iTunes for example like getting music for free. i do all the time on rhapsody. so whatever.

Keep in mind . . . just because you are able to do something doesn't make it right. Artists who create music have a right to be paid - that is their business, how they pay their bills. Can you imagine working at a job and not receiving a paycheck at the end of the week? Think about that the next time you download music illegally.
