week 3, tasks

1) How can file sharing networks make money if they do not sell music?

For example, addvertisement on their sites.
They can offer free downloading but very slow speed and if you prepaid for some time you download in very high speed.
Few people buy a CD for songs very famous, not for the all CD, so, maybe it´s more interesting to download songs. Moreover, to buy a CD is not really cheap.

2) In which type of eCommerse do file sharing network belong to?

We think that it can be peer-to-peer system because company which offers files for downloading has to download it as well from another network. Person A has one song and person B has another song and they can exchange it, both of them can exchange their files. It´s still growing effect when others get connected and share files.

3) Is the record industry justifiled in attempting to shut file sharing networks down? Why or why not?

- They can not shut down the illegal downloading because it can kill all sector of music, people will not listen the new types of music, new interprets will not be so famous and will not earn so big money for recording company

4) Do you think that illegal downloading will disappear over time?

In our opinions, the illegal downloading will not disappeared, because we think that downloading is only at the beginning and it is growing. Currently, Internet connection is going to increase with emergimg countries (Brazil, Senegal, India).
