File-Sharing

I think that file-sharing isn't great but some people just can't afford to keep buying CD's. And if the United States passed a similar law I would be very sad. I mean I'm someone who loves music. I listen to it night and day and without it, I am nothing. Also, when I hear a song and I have to have it, it bothers me, I get this...I don't know, my emotion just goes weird. I think it is because I am addicted to music. SO if the law was passed I know I would be greatly effected.

However, I think that a compromise could be, having a file sharing site that charges a certain monthly fee, not too expensive, but enough to give the artists, musicians, and other media half the profit. I think that would be an ok thing. Actually, I'm pretty sure that I would be willing to pay the monthly fee. They could charge a bit more for movies and tv shows, and a little less if someone just wanted the music. It could be things like that.

Perhaps that could have a site or something where you could listen to the music for free. Not necessarily have it to download unless you wanted to pay for it, but just be able to listen to the songs all you want. That could be another one, another compromise I mean. Because I mean you can listen to music on iTunes, but it's only 30seconds. Beggars can't be choosers though.

Intellectual property is someone Else's property, someone Else's art and I think that if I were an artists, I probably wouldn't like it either. However, I would also know that there are some things you can't stop. I think I would at least be a bit happy that I got a little profit off of the programs that charged. I mean as long as I had money to pay the bills and not be scrapping for Cash I think I would be ok. And with the way the economy is, you KNOW someone is going to find a way to get music free. Because $14.oo may not seem like it is that much, however, with the economy, it actually is. And paying that much money for a CD, you can't. Not unless you have a lot of money.
