2.)    Throughout the years technology has continued to advance trying to help
make our lives easier and faster.  This included playing and recording music on
CD drives built into computers and also allowed to send and receive music
quickly and easily over the Internet.  One of the first popular programs was
called Napster, created by Shawn Fanning.  This program let people send and
receive songs as music files using the Internet.  This program, along with
others, were allowing this exchange to be done for free, which caused copyright
violations and companies urged programs like Napster to be shut down.  Artists
felt this was a copyright issue because instead of going out and buying their
album, people could download to songs for free and put them on a CD themselves. 
However, some artists began to look at the Internet as a way to reach their fans
on popular social networks, such as MySpace.  The record industry then slowly
began to allow people to download music from the Internet for a charge.  One
very popular download service today is iTunes Music Store.  Almost all labels
can be found and downloaded from iTunes for a certain price per song.  However,
there is now an argument between Apple and labels on how much to charge per
download.  However, many labels agreed to only because copyright on songs was
protected and could only be copied onto a limited number of computers and CD’s. 
However, it is still easy to find programs to download music for free,
therefore, the copyright issues will never completely be solved with all the
loopholes on the Internet today.
