Why are there so many file download sites available but so few
of them give you what you want!
Majority
Over one-third of users, now publish and share media on the Internet from the latest Internet survey. Those file sharers are no longer the young kids but include all ages and demographics, similar to the makeup of people using the web and Internet services. P2P and file sharing are increasingly being used for legitimate services and user-generated content, including video, music, and photos.
Kill
There has always been plenty of bitterness between copyright holders and the file-sharing community but the industry cannot kill file sharing, no matter how hard they try, and it''s just a matter of time until file sharing kills the industry ,along with millions of other independent musicians. The major record labels have entered the death spiral rendering them unable to speak as the online community hoist there sails.
Share costs
A site devoted to Microsoft''s portable music player, is reporting on a Microsoft patent filing that describes a system for compensating users for sharing music wirelessly.
The idea: if I send you a song, it expires after 3 days or 3 plays, regardless of where I got it from (my own CD collection, a file-sharing network, a Marketplace download).
Free conclusion: The issues remain the same - control, protection, and security - for companies and ordinary users, P2P networking is definitely a mountain worth conquering.
