From Live performances, to vinyl records, to cassette tapes, to CD's and now digital downloading. There is barely any evidence of a musical exchange between the artist or store and the consumer. From your computer to your computer is as far as music travels lately. When something becomes easily simplified, people may start to feel like it isn't worth paying money for it. So the $.99 to $1.29 the supplier ask for per song goes unpaid, as music listeners download the songs illegal, through unofficial sites and applications. I'm sure Joel Tenebaum is not the only person who would owe the RIAA a large sum of money from past music files.The Recording Industry Association of America, RIAA, claims to be the mediator for the business side of the music outlet. For the artists, label companies, and other facets that make up the industry. The Association upholds the legal rights for the people who deserve to be paid for their art. But to persecute every person who racks up a high unpaid bill for pirating music would take a lot of resources and time.
