Executive Summary:
In today’s technological era, the music industry is in a crisis. Music is being downloaded illegally more than ever .Rising costs for music coupled with a lack of guilt for pirating music has caused music piracy rates to skyrocket. Be it classical, typical , rock and roll or pop.
The research is also about that every student has the ability to access free music through music piracy because of the wide variety of sites offering it.
The problem:
The real problem in the music industry is the fact that music costs more than what people want to pay for it. The problem of piracy has arisen with the rapid advance of technology.
There are various sites offering free music to people so why pay for the thing which you are already getting it free of cost.
The lack of proper patent laws or more correctly, the enforcement of these laws allow the perpetrators of this crime to get away scott-free.
Due to this rampant piracy, the government is deprived of tax revenues, jobs are lost and research and innovation never take place.
The maximum amount of illegal downloading is done by youngsters in the age group of 20 -25 years. As long as this group does not take note of the losses suffered by the artists, music companies and the government due to this menace, no concrete step can be taken to counter the loss.
Research objective:
Our research objective is to collect information from students that why do they prefer downloading music illegally rather than purchasing it or what would induce them to obtain music legally.
We believe that most students in questionnaire will say that they have downloaded music illegally and a significant amount of their music is pirated. The interesting part of our research
