Proposal Blog
The topic and conflict of downloading music has been an ongoing struggle. It seems that no consensus will ever be made. Some think that no solution will ever come of this. Record sales are down 20% since 2000 and it has been blamed on downloading. I propose that music downloading should be free, but that there must be some conditions. For instance, I think it should be legal to post and download music, but this must be done on authorized sites that sell advertising space. Similar things have been attempted before, but the record labels complained that they were not getting their cut. However, the record companies and artists can collect the commission they would have normally lost to music piracy. Also, those who care about getting the music out there can also have that opportunity without having to get signed by a record label.

I think you make a good point when you talk about legalizing posting and downloading music because people will find a way to download music either way so if it were to be made free I think people would be more likely to do it the right way.
I agree, I don't think the issue will ever be solved. It's hard because either way some group of people are not happy.
this is an interesting question. will we evr have free legal music? we may or may not, but i think profit is all the record companies care about
