Talk:Music download

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would have imagined that this article would be massive, what with all the controversy over music downloading. What this article needs is a definitive history of music downloading. TheDavesr 19:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV Check

I have nominated this article for a POV check as I get a general feeling it may be biased towards the view that sees P2P and other forms of free downloads as acceptable. In any case I feel that this article needs to be expanded and better researched to develop a clear view of the subject. Is there no other article that covers the same subject?

Agreed, I also believe that sources for "In 2003, iTunes saw the popularity of legal digital downloads skyrocket." and "the music industry said the same thing about recordable tapes and CDs" are needed. This article needs some polishing, there are no other articles that cover the same subject to my knowledge. Memphis-Ahn 13:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

That must have changed, because now it seems slanted in the opposite direction. Besides, the controversy is primarily an American issue, is it not? Those aspects are already covered in a separate article: RIAA efforts against file sharing I think the article should focus on the technology and its uses, not on some controversy with limited geographic scope and which only applies to certain types of usage.

[edit] Hard to define

Wikipedia might be a massive storagebase of knowledge, but I doubt that anyone would really be able to give a clear, concise, and verifiable history of music downloading. I guess you could start with the creation of the MP3 format, which enabled music to be easily transfered and stored in a smaller digital format (while maintaining high quality), but what about the time prior to the MP3? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blake.Schneider (talk • contribs) 23:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
