Problems in Listening to the Music Online.....

Today, Music also became open souce product. Only few people , not more than 10-15% are buying original company music cds or dvd's. In earlier days, when a new music album / movie audio releases, all the music lovers stands efore the music stores for hours to buy those music cds or casettes.The number of casettes available are also in limited and the technology which the companies uses is very costly and not available to everyone. But today because of the growth of technology like internet and computers through out the world any cd coming within hours to anywhere in the world.

Today, we no need to go to the shops , no need to stay for long times in queue to buy cds , even no need to buy any music videos or audios.Everything is available as a free resource on the internet.Some websites , when an album released immediately uploading in to their sites and providing free access to listen online. Some other sites even providing free downloadings to that album.This is causing an adverse effect on the revenue of the Music comanies and Artists.

Somewhere in the world one guy purcases a cd and with some software tools they are copying and distributing hundreds of piracy cds through out the world. The quality of the audio files you download runs from very bad to very good, and you never know how bad or good a file is until you download and play it. Some audio files are incomplete. Others are not what they claim to be.

People are downloading or listening to music online, but it is not good for them.There are several problems arises which are they never expect to be happen.Their complete information will be trced out and collected by the hackers.our computer’s IP address is broadcast to millions of people. Sophisticated computer hackers can get into your system if they know your computer’s IP address. They can download sensitive material such as credit card numbers.  

To know some more facts about the prbolems which are arises due to listening music online(for free) you can visit:

In the above page, they clearly mentioned about all the things with calculations, by doing some research on this particular issue.
So, my request is dont go for free things, free things are not always preferable.
