what are your thoughts on file sharing programs such as limewire and napster?

Question

im doing a report and i need some feed back on the whole idea

Answer 1

it's your right to share any file you wish as long as you're not infringing on someone's copyright. If you make your own music and want to distribute it, that's fine. Using these programs enable artists, programmers, etc. to get their work out there for more people to use that wouldn't otherwise have access to it. That's the whole idea behind it...to share information and knowledge with people who need and want it.

Of course, there are people who use it for other means, like stealing music and software from people who worked hard trying to produce a quality product. Because they put the work into it, they deserve to be compensated for it. If they weren't paid for it, a lot of the music and software we hear and use everyday wouldn't be here.

My opinion if all these artists say "We dont care about the money, all we care about are the fans" then they shudnt care if the fans download there music, Music should be shared all over the world, and anyways artists dont even make that much off CD's they make more off concert sales, I approve of it, And artists Should not complain, They have enough money

Answer 5

Its a great idea, until you are caught and then sue by the music body

Answer 6

If it is illegal, why are these sites allowed to run? They need to have some accountability also.
