Abstract
This examines both sides of the file sharing issues around music and states that the music industry is ethically right in their position to sue those people who illegally download music. The author points out that the music industry has won cases against Napster and others that violate the law, which will help quell the piracy of illegal MP3s. The paper stresses that understanding the facts and statistical data about this issue eventually can lead to the downfall of those independent pirating networks , which violate copyright law in the United States and abroad.
From the Paper
"This study examines the use of MP3 file sharing, which has become a major issue in how corporate music industry deals with 'pirated' songs on the Internet. By understanding the current manners of file sharing that are trying to get financial compensation for music, the industry and independent music "down-loaders" clash on these issues. In essence, file sharing is unethical and debases ownership within the rights of corporate entities that should profit from the artist properties that they rightfully own under copyright law In the recent battles that have arisen due to music industry corporations seeking to recover lost revenues to illegal downloading of songs, there is a strong argument on why file sharing is an ethical problem."

Abstract
This paper was written at the end of 1999, basically at the early stages of MP3 compression technology. It was written as a persuasive research paper, arguing the side of record companies and legitimate music listeners (i.e. those who don?t use copyrighted music illegally).
From the Paper
"In an age of rapid technological advancement, one can expect that most everything in the near future will take place through the use of a computer and an Internet connection. A large part of what the average person would call recreational enjoyment comes from music, and the Internet has become a major part of its advancement as of late. MP3, which officially means Motion Picture Expert Group-1/Audio Layer 3 (Burpee), is a method of audio compression that makes music files small enough to be downloaded to a personal computer. However, the music remains at digital quality. Two years ago, music files would consume anywhere from thirty to fifty megabytes of space. With the technology of the MP3 encoding format, these same files consume no more than ten megabytes (?The Artist Known as MP3?). These files have become so popular recently, that Internet searches for music clips have bypassed searches for ?sex? (Croal and Murr)."

Abstract
In this paper, it is shown that illegal file sharing opponents feel it is their right to have music for free, but hold at the same time, the integrity of musicians to earn money for their music. However, there is no arbitration for the artist when music is shared between various entities on the Internet. The paper shows that when there is no regulation at all for music to be passed without a fee, the artist is invariably hurt by this activity.
From the Paper
"Internet music piracy became a big issue since MP3 technology was invented, which has become a major issue in how corporate music industry deals with 'pirated' songs on the Internet. There are two distinct sides to the MP3 issue: (1) A war between the rights of MP3 users and illegal file sharing companies, and (2) those musicians and record companies that desire to control and regulate the profits of their music. While new technology advances, the musician and the record companies face new challenges for protecting the copyright of their music, since file sharing 'pirates' steal millions of dollars worth of music from them. Moreover, advanced compression techniques (MP3 format) that have been distributed across the Internet enable high quality music to be freely available to anyone on the Internet."

MP3, 2005.
An overview of file sharing with MP3s.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 10 sources, £ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the widespread use of MP3s and of file sharing with MP3s. The paper notes that the music industry has so far failed to change its business plan to adapt to consumer preference in this new form of technology, resulting in conditions of likely long- term losses for the industry, and that the industry has to develop a model that it can accept that will allow consumers to download music.
From the Paper
"This paper addresses the role of the modern music industry and its refusal to recognize that mp3 file sharing is not a threat but rather is the next generation of music. This paper takes the position that these companies should embrace this new technology in order to benefit from its use rather that continuing to fight against it and that the industry must find a marketing model that works for it in this new environment. The viability of the music industry is currently threatened through the emergence and use of a new form of technology, the peer- to- peer software platform, the use of which enables users to download music in mp3 file format. The accessibility and the flexibility of the mp3 file format strongly suggest that this type of file is likely to remain a preferred form of music acquisition by consumers. However, the music industry fails to change its business."

An examination of the effect that free internet downloadable music has had on record companies. The paper also addresses legislation and moral aspects about this phenomena and how it can be controlled.

From the Paper
"Through the arrival of the MP3 audio compression format, it became painless for internet users who wanted free music to get free music. MP3 opened a gate to a path that led to the widespread illegal replication of copyrighted music. There is a debate over how the effects of pirated MP3 music have affected the recording industry. Record companies stress that MP3?s have caused record sales to plummet while MP3 enthusiasts and various musicians pronounce that MP3?s assist the music industry. Despite the controversy over the music piracy that the MP3 format ensues and the fact that online music sharing may be illegal, MP3?s stimulate record sales."

Abstract
This paper explains that Apple Computer, Inc. has rocketed to the top of the technology industry with the incredible performance of its two core products, its mp3 player Ipod and home computer Macs. The paper also points out that Apple's penchant for creativity combined with their overall ability to create user friendly but technologically sophisticated products has won them loyalty from customers and continued raves from the world community. The paper also points out that Apple's success within these two markets, however, will not go unchallenged. The paper then takes a close look at Apple's challenges within their mp3 and home computer divisions and analyzes their strategies for overcoming these challenges.
From the Paper
"Apple's mp3 division has been at the heart of its revolution from a dying niche brand to one of the most potent forces in the technology industry. Its Ipods have been cited as having a 92.3% market share of all hard drive based music players, this is an incredible statistics since no company had more than 23% market share of the mp3 market up until the late 1990s. Their incredible growth, however, is facing some roadblocks as internal and external problems have developed. Their first primary challenge is that there has been an increase in competition over the past three years."

The Product Life Cycle of the Walkman, 2008.
An analysis of the product life cycle of the Sony Walkman and Sony's decision to re-launch the Walkman as an MP3.

Abstract
This paper reviews the Sony Walkman product and discusses where the product finds itself in the product life cycle. The paper discusses how advanced age shapes the marketing approach to any item and whether or not the decision on the part of Sony to re-launch the Walkman as the MP3 in 2005 was a good idea. The paper concludes that the Walkman has entered the decline stage and is a tired and rather obsolete brand name hopelessly mired in the early 1980s.
From the Paper
"Presumably, product placement for the Walkman has also changed drastically as the product embarks upon its final steps before complete obsolescence. For one thing, because profits have dipped so significantly since at least the middle 1990s, there is not exactly a demand for the Walkman in movies or in popular magazines; one can reasonably infer that this was not the case at the start of the 1980s and, indeed, throughout most of that decade. At the same time, it is hard to find an ambitious marketing campaign anywhere which features the walkman prominently. For all intents and purposes, the product survives now as a quaint reminder of a by-gone era."

Abstract
The paper discusses the unethical piracy of music file through P2P servers that is reflected in computer technology. The paper looks at American legal issues in file sharing and the global problem of pirate file sharing companies that are beyond the reach of the law and are the main causes for pirating MP3 files. The paper is of the opinion that through these causes of the unethical use of music files on the Internet, the ambiguities of law and technology must be resolved in order to prevent the property of the music industry from being further violated.
From the Paper
"This computer study will examine the causes of the unethical use of MP3 file sharing services that now reside on the World Wide Web. By understanding the causes of that advancement of computer technology, U.S. legal issues for file sharing and the growing globalization in the music industry, one can realize how MP3 file sharing has become an unethical issue in the modern era. The first cause for the loss of business that the major record labels have been receiving has been the evolution of music into a digital format. Since the 1990's the growing digital formatting of music has become a major problem for controlling the way that music is dispersed across the world."
