MP3 - Growing Trend for Music
By Timothy Alan
The growth of the internet has really revolutionized the
way that many industries have to do business. One that
came unexpected is for the music industry. We remember
the start of the MP3 explosion. Napster was the file
sharing service that took MP3's from being something
that was traded underground by hackers and the connected
to a massive sharing of music. We of course know the
story from there. The usage was so phenomenal that the
music industry stepped in. First they shut down Napster
and went after other cloned services. When the law only
allowed them to go so far with these services then they
attacked their fan or customer group.
Turns out though that MP3's are what people want when it
comes to music. They can get the soundtrack they desire
quickly and on their computers where their sound
equipment is usually hooked up to. Today services like
iTunes and Napster are looking to quench this thirst
legally.
