In 1999, an 18-year-old college dropout named Shawn Fanning revolutionized the music industry with the program he invented called Napster. Napster was an internet program that made it possible for users to share music files for free. His product gained instant interest across America which brought an opposite response from the Music industry. In 2001, as expected, Napster was sued for copyright infringement by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and shut down at the peak of its success. The media industry wanted the technology halted because it was terrified of how it would affect the economy. Nonetheless, new programs are rising to take Napster`s place and history is repeating itself as the music industry is killing its chances for a potential profit.
With so many active participants downloading music, there is always going to be another site to find free music, so attempting to rid the internet of all downloading is nothing more than a hopeless situation. No matter how many download programs have lawsuits filed against them and are forced to shut down; another site will take its place. “This is the age of technology”, the RIAA stated, “It`s not realistic to wipe it out entirely but instead to bring it to a level of manageable control so a legitimate marketplace can really flourish.” There will always be a way to get around barriers that may get in the way and therefore the war against piracy will never be over unless a common ground is established.
