Technology has brought so much easiness into our life, but it also brings bad effect. The easiness to copy and share music through mp3 has made music industry collapse. People stop buying CDs and choose to download the mp3 on their iPod. It surely cuts the only income in music industry.
Through the time, music industry has learned this technology progress. Major label industries cooperate with iTunes and other mp3 providers, so they can still get some share from the profit. Even though they can find a way to survive in the music industry, but their main threat comes from music piracy. Technology brings bad impact to music industry because it makes music piracy growing faster. We can easily download mp3 from the internet without knowing if it is an official music source.
Even though the government has made special force to end piracy, but it seems so difficult for them to stop piracy. In each year, piracy can cause up to $12,5 billion economic losses to the country. Without paying tax, music pirate can get big profit from their illegal works. The illegal works that makes us suffer great loss force us to take real actions to end it right away.
