“We don’t understand it, therefore we fear it”. Is a typical government answer towards most issues found online. This article goes through how music sales have decreased due to online piracy so to say. Has statistics about how music sales have significantly gone down in terms of music being bought on CDs or in stores. Some of these companies that are selling the hard copy’s of music will undoubtedly go under, but the online sales of music has gone up and also the starting of online music company’s has gone up. The government will most likely always be on the side of the music selling from stores rather then online stores due to the lack of knowledge of online stores. This isn’t fair its like the online stores are getting bullied as the government will always go with a sure positive then looking into something that could be a little risky. I doubt the government will ever understand online/digital sales but if they do it’ll probably be too late and there will have been another shift in the market and they’ll play catchup yet again.
