To what extrent has the use of Piracy impacted on the music industry.

Context :
I have choosen to look into how piracy is impacting the music industry due to it being closely linked to my generation. The modern technology, increased internet speeds, ability to download any type of music for free and listen to it on your own MP3 / Ipod has created a problem which copyright and the power that be are trying to address.

It is generally interesting to me because it will affect how I consume music for some time, whether it be legally or illegally. Downloading from Spotify or thepiratebay.org. The relevance of this research at this point in time is that it will show a wide variety of the different comsumer options to listen to music as well as the greater affect of piracy on the industry as a whole from the basics of music to the problem of fraud.

It is also interesting in the fact that this is the tip of technology, the tip of the iceburg.
