Music Piracy

I plan to do my research project on the evolution of music piracy. I hope to cover how music piracy has contributed to the decrease in value of the music industry as a whole. I would also like to describe how the digital age has encouraged major labels such as Atlantic Records to embrace the new age of music online rather than attempting to fight it, as they have in the past with lawsuits such as the infamous Napster case. I will cover the various legislation that has been put in place to avoid music piracy (as unsuccessful as it has been), as well as the recent transformation that Limewire has made.
