Some people think that illegal Internet downloads are having a negative effect on the music industry. Others feel that they have little or no impact on artists. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Nowadays, it is a very common to

download

from the

internet

and it is becoming a topic of debate whether it is legal or not.

However

, while many advocates that

music

piracy doesn’t effect on the

music

industry

, I side with those who believe that it does affect the

music

industry

as a whole. On one hand, it could be argued that

download

music

from the

internet

is not illegal and it doesn’t affect the

music

industry

because they have multiple sources of income. Many artists create videos or songs just as a hobby.

Likewise

, many artists do live shows or advertisements, their main income sources are not just

music

.

Hence

, supporters of

this

claim that

download

from the

internet

doesn’t affect much to them.

On the other hand

, I hold the opinion that

download

music

from the

internet

is illegal and it significantly affects the

music

industry

because to make any song is expensive. Many people work behind to make an album and artists needs to pay for the staff, advertisement fees and rent. If people do not buy their album legally, artists will not able to pay them and in the end artists will get bankrupt.

In other words

, they will stop making

music

albums and people might lose great artists.

Thus

, in my opinion, people should not

download

music

from the

internet

illegally. To conclude,

although

some musical artists make albums as a hobby or they do not rely on one source of income,

Music

downloading from the

internet

without paying for, it causes the whole

industry

will not survive in the future.

Therefore

, on balance, I think people should avoid

music

piracy.
