The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) wants people to pay for their music in stead of illegally downloading. A latest report from the BPI stated that the piracy costs the music industry £219 million lately. BPI claims based on their research that more than three quarters of music downloaded in the UK is illegally obtained, with no payment to the musicians, songwriters or music companies producing it. According to Mark Mulligan, an analyst in the online distribution of music, the piracy can not be managed because there is now a generation that believes music is available to download for free on the internet. Technology moves faster than counter measures.
I can understand BPI’s frustration, but like Mark Mulligan said this generation is used to downloading music for free from the internet. I can not remember when I bought for the last time music in a music store! I agree that it is hard to change the technology which is going on and find measures that would stop or reduce the loss of the music industry.
