The computer has facilitates the distribution of music The Download Revolution Edwin Breeden
Outline • Network Types • Arguments in support of… • Arguments against… • Implications of…
Client/Server vs. P2P Client/Server • Client requests file from server • Server sends requested file back to client • If saved on server, file can be retrieved on any client
Client/Server vs. P2P Peer-to-Peer • No designated client or server • Files stored on hard disks, not server • Issue of legality
Arguments for Downloading Illegal Legal or Illegal • It’s free… • Down with the evil labels! • Sampling • Discoverability/promotion of music • Convenience • Portability • Environmentally friendly
Arguments Against Downloading • It’s illegal…- “Sharing” = Stealing • Labels can help artists • Sampling? Yeah, right!
What will happen in the future? Possible consequences of the Download Revolution • Will “dinosaurs” finally die?- Madonna- Radiohead- Nine Inch Nails • Death of the album?- Emphasis on singles- Puscifer • Less emphasis on packaging and artwork
Final Thoughts… • Downloading probably not going anywhere… • …so what is music industry to do? • Must adapt or face decline
