#4 of 10. This is for a class paper on the effects of piracy on the music industry...there are 10 questions in all.

e: fuck can't read

on the industry, you could say its had a negative effect. but then again you could also argue that they make shit tons of money anyway and are screwing over their artists so hard they're still benefiting regardless

Positive, the big guys are still making money, and it gives a chance for the little guys to get around.

both. where's that option?
it's taken away from artists in terms of making money but it's enabled more artists to come onto the music scene where they wouldn't be as able to before. that's why indie is basically pop now.

Probably both, but I'd say positive, especially for the lesser known bands who just want to get their stuff out there.

If bands aren't in it for the money, so that doesn't matter.  If they are, then I wouldn't listen to them.  The money's nice, but that's not why they do what they do.

musicians only make about 8%-25% of total profits, they're not getting paid shit to begin with. this doesn't justify filesharing, but the issue itself calls attention to this fact

from here you could argue that filesharing is positive because it places emphasis on the issue of musicians getting paid
