Teaser for Music Piracy

Isn't it interesting that the FBI and everyone is so uptight about theft, and thievery? Yet no one anywhere has respect for the (C) All Right Reserved labeled music?

Is Music Piracy Unethical?

Ever since iPods, mp3 players, Zunes, etc. were created, mp3s ( music files ) have also been there. Mp3s are available everywhere. iTunes, Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music all sell legal music, but, places like Limewire, Pirate Bay, Frostwire, etc. are examples of  places where people go to get the illegal pirated version of music. Due to the creation of these P2P files sharing websites/programs, the RIAA have been telling us, warning us, and threatening us that illegal downloaded music will cost you, but is downloading music truly unethical?

There is a very big difference between illegal, and unethical. By dictionary, Illegal is defined as prohibited by law or statue, and Unethical, is defined as pertaining to morals, or the principles of morality. So, in summary, illegal acts are not allowed, but unethical acts should not be allowed. So, should we download music from illegal file sharing websites?

Once, online I had illegally obtained a single track from my friend, and although that was unethical, the track, then led me to purchasing 3 albums from that author, and I had ended up shelling out for this particular artist's performances.

Netflix vs. Blockbuster : Which one is better?

I'm sure you know of the two movie rental companies, Blockbuster and Netflix and their competition between the different services they provide. This article, by John P. Falcone of CNET reviews, is about those two companies, their different movie rental plans, and how you can decide for yourself, which one is in fact better than the other. The article is complete with a short paragraph about the two companies, a quick overview and side-by-side comparison.

Because our magazine is in fact about online entertainment, online movie renting obviously falls into this category and I felt it was pretty important for our readers, you guys, to know about this particular competition. I recommend you read it, it is very interesting and a good way to decide whether you'd want to venture into the world of online movie renting and what service you would prefer to use.

Google's YouTube

Sep.29,2009
Today i read Online Media Daily, the article on "Google's YouTube Finds Money In Analistics". After reading that article i feel like the companies on the internet are becoming back stabers to each other. In the article its says that Google has videos from YouTube and instead of using copyright some people just hack into there systems and take what they want. i sont understand why companies should take like that. But another think i found out in this article was that Google is on top when it comes to online media.So for you Google company i would watch out because you never know when someone is going to hack you. And for everyone else google is the way to go for information, but when it comes to videos and music go to YouTube.
