Today I've found another interesting article on Online Piracy. The title of this article is Social Networks Impact Music Downloads; Piracy Growing. When I saw the title, I was a bit curious on how social networks can impact music download so I read it to find out more. The article is created based on surveys that have been conducted by Entertainment Media Research (EMR) and law firm Olswang. To read the article, kindly click on the article's title above.
The number of people downloading legally has dropped because people can download it online for free through user profiles from social networking sites. According to the results from the article, 39% of the social networking sites users have songs embedded to their profile. By doing so, their friends who viewed their profile might like the songs embedded on it and ending up searching it from the internet to download for free.
I am a social networking site user too and I embed songs to my profiles too. I find it very convenient for me to access my songs when I online from somewhere else. I have friends who are telling me that they think that the songs embedded to my profile is nice and they've already downloaded it. They even give me the link to download it. The songs are available in 320kbits and it's free of charge. No wonder why people are opting for illegal downloads nowadays. It is because they can get the songs in best quality without paying a single cent.
I would suggest to the others who embed songs to their profiles, please do not allowed your users to download it. Using websites such as Imeem can help to prevent illegal download cases because other users will not be able to download the songs.
