Understanding The Risks in Downloading Music

A few years back a company called Napster introduced music file sharing on the Internet. It provided a way for individuals to download MP3 files of popular music from Napster’s server. Everything was free.

Musical artists who wrote and recorded the songs, as well as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), were shocked at these free giveaways since they weren’t being paid for their work. The RIAA took Napster to court for illegally copying and distributing copyrighted songs. In 2000, the court agreed and shut down the Napster service.

Although Napster offers an entirely different type of service today, such illegal downloads continue from different sources. The RIAA has changed its strategy and now targets those who download the music (opens in a new browser window) – children of unsuspecting parents — and tries to getuniversities to provide the names (opens in a new browser window) of those individuals on campus who are allegedly sharing copyrighted music.

Parents must teach their children that downloading music illegally isn’t any different than stealing from a store. Stealing is stealing.
