Research Essay

I have reinstalled my computer system recently. And unfortunately I lost all my songs in the iTunes. Then I learnt that I could not download the music free from the internet here in U.S.; While I can download all the music free in China. I can not live without music, I used to do my homework while listening to the music. But I do not want to pay that money. So I'm curious about such questions like: how to download music here in U.S.? Is music free on the internet a good thing. why it charges to download music on the internet? Only to protect intellectual property rights? Are there any good opportunities for some on line business to offer free and legal music in order to attract more ads or to be more famous(since I'm a marketing major)? So I want to explore something like that.

Great, Ru--you are absolutely on the right track! This is a really timely question, and I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty of sources with a variety of perspectives on this issue. You ask, "Is music free on the internet a good thing?"--this is a great research question. You might investigate this from the point of view of the consumer as well as from the perspective of musicians and companies that lose money when music freely circulates on the web. Also, I see that you've posed a tentative solution to this thorny and complicated issue--that's a great next step. You might consider investigating other creative business solutions that have arisen in response to this problem. Good luck :)
