The challenge then becomes the need to balance exclusivity with availability to legitimate users, willing to pay the minimal fees to use the service, without feeling as if the work of getting through the system makes it worth it. (Kajuter, Baumgartner & Van, 2001, p
2) Like was said in the previous section, B2C exchanges should be based largely on the technology that has driven B2B technology advances that attempt to ensure ease of use for both exchanging entities and still provide adequate security for both the businesses and the information. (Leamer & Storper, 2001, p
P2P and single song downloads have in fact changed the face of the music industry, making it a place where users prefer single mixes to whole purchased CDs and artists, and their many support persons are having to completely change the manner in which they make and market their art. ("Your Message Must Fit," 2005, p. 2) (Leighton & Muldner, 2005, p
From the perspective of the music industry, it was easier and more effective to shut down Napster than to sue the millions of people who illegally traded files on Napster. (Lemley & Reese, 2004, p
98) Sadly, some groups and individuals see any attempt to curtail internet piracy as an assault on the "free" exchange system of the internet. (Lessig, 2001, p
And that's why, when necessary, enforcement of rights through the legal system occurs, at every level. (Lobato, 2005, p
The evolution of P2P marketing much take the shape of legitimate utilization, which realistically increases awareness and availability of new and emerging artists as well as further developing the availability of global music and genres. (Lemley & Reese, 2004, p. 1345) (Madison, 2004, p
Several years ago it was believed by the e-music industry and others that the illegal downloading user frequently sought the download venue as an introduction to the media and then subsequently went out and purchased a legitimate copy. (Mann, 2000, p
This is clearly where anti-piracy enters the scene and all involved must make efforts to ensure the strength of anti-piracy technologies and practices. (Schwartz, 2003, p
In order to receive strategic benefits, process re-design must be incorporated into the implementation of it, and all real and potential gains and investments must be accounted for. (Sevcik, 2002, p
7 billion in workers' earnings, and a loss of $422 million in tax revenues, $291 million in personal income tax and $131 million in lost corporate income and production taxes. (Siwek, 2007, para#3) as you can imagine, calculating loses for online piracy is a difficult task as the occurrence of piracy events is largely untraceable, beyond broad estimations for different upload and download speeds as well timed traffic, and as technological advances in the speed and ease at which such events can occur estimates become even more far reaching
Materials ordering, file sharing and most importantly financial transactions over, encoded and encompassing communication systems that allow businesses the ability to much more rapidly and less labor intensely exchange information is essential to the way that the world does business in a global economy. (Tie, 2001, p
This occurs not only locally, but also on the international platform, such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo's music for the Heinz baked beans commercial. Beans sales increased while the band gained enough exposure to top the UK music charts (Ambert, 2003)
Camp Bestival in the UK, for example, is aimed at families, where babysitting services, a circus, and adventure park, and other family-focused features are provided. The international tourism industry has also benefited from music festivals, where Europe has become a popular destination for festival goers, especially from the UK (Train, 2011)
Although the RIAA was successfully able to shut down Napster, they now faced countless other sites that use the exact same technology. The efforts of the RIAA were initially effective in combating music piracy, but it was simply impossible to eliminate its presence as technology continued to improve (Aspray and Ceruzzi, 2008)
Revenue Sources With album sales nowhere near what they used to be and streaming not yet a truly viable source of income for musicians, a lot of artists are looking for new ways to distribute their work that will both reach their fans and result in some remuneration. A few examples of emerging revenue generation models have been identified in an industry blog (Bernard, N
S. based musicians, approximately 80 individual artist interviews, and a detailed review of ten musicians' financial data (DiCola 2013)
Part of the reason for this blurring of roles is technological. The technology underpinning the micro-blogging network Twitter, for example, makes celebrities and micro-celebrities seemingly more accessible than they are in other forms of mediated representation (Marwick and Boyd)(Morris, 2013)

Social network sites are defined as "web-based services that allow individuals to construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others" (Boyd & Ellison, 2007). Music artists who have established an Internet presence can now form a dynamic relationship that allows for feedback in a two-way communication mode, or facilitate fan-to-fan communication about them in a third or three-way communication mode as well (Panay, 2011)
