research topic

For my topic of research I wanted to do something with music since I listen to it from when I wake up till when I fall asleep at night. And something that has become a problem with music is illegally downloading it offline. So the topic I choose was illegally downloaded music and the technology behind it. Since illegally downloading music has recently has really just started I decided to look into it more deeply and see whats actually going on. And why people dont just buy the cds of the bands the love and listen to. So now Im looking to answer the questions on what is illegally downloading music, who started it where its going. Im also looking into the penalties when you are caught and how they know for sure that you are downloading music when you get the presses charged. Also to really find out if it’s a serious problem or just some musicians complaining over a few lost dollars on album sales over a few thousand downloads of their songs. So hopefully after looking more in-depth I can answer these questions and find the true problems behind illegally downloading music if there is any.
