  1. The Changes Internet has Imposed on the Recording Industry Diego Zaccai

  2. Napster • First “big” file Sharing community • Started on 1999 • Record Industry closed it with a series of trials in 2003 • No legal option until ~2003 (iTunes, Rhapsody).

  3. Legal Options after Napster • Problems with DRM • Many limitations make no sense for people who are used to own physical copies (like limiting the number of players, etc.).

  4. New P2P sites developed • The networks avoided holding information (became hard to sue). • They became more popular, and more and more things were available • Kazaa, LimeWire, BearShare (p2p). • Also, networks to download bigger files on BitTorrent.

  5. Mp3 players • In the market since 1999 • No legal music download site (at least not one big) until 2003. • Increased the number of illegal downloads greatly (it was not only free, but also convenient).

  6. New mp3 players

  7. New mp3 players • Can hold up to 160GB (iPod classic) • Or around 40,000 songs • At 99 cents a song • $39,600 in music • The device is $349.00 • Warranty for a year, (many don’t last more than two) • DRM “marries” you to that player

  8. RIAA • “Sue them all” • They all should pay (including sites like youtube). • The music industry is attacking every possible site • Their tactics still don’t scare people off sharing networks (many of them are illegal too).

  9. Conclusion • A big change is needed. • At the price of music, it is hard to believe any one will fill any high capacity device legally. • DRM and RIAA scare tactics need to be changed • A legal option that doesn’t take a year salary to fill an iPod is required if we expect to stop illegal downloads.
