Music OriginIntroduction:For centuries people had dreamed of capturing sounds and music from the environment. Many had tried but none had succeeded until Thomas Alva Edison discovered a method of recording and reproducing sound. What began as a device intended as part of an improved telephone led to the development of a tool that would change the world, making it a happier and even better place to live. Revolutions: (Case of Mp3 Sharing Software Development) A revolution has emerged in the music industry In 1999, Shawn Fanning, an undergraduate student at Northeastern University, wrote a small MP3 sharing software application known as Napster. Originally designed for the exchange of recordings by Fanning and his friends, Napster quickly became a conduit for mainstream MP3s, and an MP3 sharing community was built overnight as the beta version of the shareware program quickly caught on. You can find and download new songs at the touch of a button. Entire albums could be exchanged for free in minutes. Additionally, the natal Sun Sagittarius (self) in the companionship chart is sextile Mars (action) conjunct Neptune (illusion, lack of boundaries), producing the ability to do everything anywhere with complete anonymity. The Recording Industry Association of America claims that the service provided by Napster is just a high-tech shortcut to music piracy. But in recent friend-of-the-court briefs, the Computer and Communications Industry Association, which represents tech giants such as AT&T, Yahoo and Oracle, said courts must reinterpret and revisit some of the "overprotective" models for property protection intellectual.Online The company has contributed a lot to the music industry similar to other traditional companies. He has helped the company grow globally and reach customers around the world. Easy access, detailed news, home delivery, attractive prices and a wide selection made the music industry prosper in the early 1990s. Music vs. the Internet: The recorded music industry has capitulated. After years of effort and millions of dollars spent on lawyers to prosecute music pirates, the big four record companies have entered the Internet age. Legal, pay-per-track music sites are about to proliferate. Australia should have its first by Christmas. This will likely be a local version of the successful Apple iMusic Store, which only operates in North America. Locally, Telstra is working on a licensing deal with at least one record company. The future of music sites depends on complex regional licensing agreements between record companies, musicians and online retailers such as Apple, Real Networks' Rhapsody, Roxio (owners of Press Play and the soon-to-go-legal Napster) and Microsoft's MSN.
