This article published in Communications of the ACM (Association
for Computing Machinery) by
Sudip
Bhattacharjee, Ram D. Gopal, G. Lawrence Sanders, takes a look at some of the similarities between
music and software piracy. It focuses mainly on the demographic groups involved
in music pirating and their reasons for music pirating. One of the topics
discussed in the article is the effects of price of music and Internet speed on
music pirating; it concludes that increase in either leads to increase in music
pirating. The most commonly used argument of proponents (those in favor of
music pirating) is them “sampling” the music they download for later purchase
in case they enjoy it. This argument, according to the article, is false, as
those who took part in the survey, carried out by the authors, hardly ever
search for “unknown” music and download music they already know from other
sources instead. It also touches the issue of the music industry future, in
case music pirating keeps growing at the same rate as it has been so far.
