Music Downloads And Role OF RIAA

By Susan Reynolds

The task taken up by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has a lot to do the music industry spread across the US. The foremost aims of this association are managing good quality music and save from harm the copy right restricted music. In order to meet this goal RIAA takes legal action against people the rules set down by RIAA for this purpose. Illegitimate download of music has been a major issue taken up by RIAA. Free download of any copyright protected music is strictly prohibited. For fear of legal actions threatened by RIAA many online music websites had to close down. This shows that RIAA plays a decisive part in the matters of any music download. A short description of function of RIAA is given under.

RIAA says that piracy of any kind and in any form is intolerable. There were many instances of people making commercial use of copyright protected music. There is the habit of people illegally making multiple copies of music, after having them downloaded from the net. This translates into huge losses of revenue to the music industry. Anybody and everybody are prohibited from downloading any music without obtaining prior permission and serious actions would be taken against those found violating this.

RIAA is severely opposed to P2P music sharing. In the year 2000 steps were taken to restrain the P2P trading of music. Though the trading is reduced in significant proportions but it can not be said to have vanished altogether. The war launched by RIAA against P2P sharing is far from over. Besides traders even individuals are prohibited from P2P music sharing

RIAA is doing all it can to help prevention of misuse of music which is under copyright protection. However the activities of RIAA are not positively viewed by everybody. There are critics who point out that when online services such as Napster existed the sale of CDS was far more. Concerns have also been voiced about the goal of RIAA to help the artists and recording studios. There is also the matter of artists being not being correctly compensated and made to suffer loss while they make huge profit margins.

RIAA has no objections against copying a CD for personal purpose. One is allowed to burn a copy of one?s legally purchased CD. The disapproval is for burning copies illegally for sale. RIAA will institute legal proceedings against people selling illegal copies.

RIAA has also nothing against the latest tools and technologies which are coming into the market and help in piracy of music. The organization places the onus of misuse of technology on people and not on technology.

Pirated music harms the interests of the artists is what RIAA believes, as their music is played on substandard CDs and for which their official consent has not been taken. The cosent here refers to legally buying the music. "It makes people listen to poor quality music that was actually developed with so much hard work? is the objection of RIAA.

Other than the field of copyright protection, RIAA is also busy with watching the sales and tracks the same. RIAA labels the records as "Gold? or "Platinum? depending on the number of CDs sold. It can be said in conclusion that RIAA has succeeded in keeping music industry business clean and good. - 18423

The Oud: From the Middle East to Europe

By Steve West

Shaped like a pear and believed to be the forerunner of the western lute, the oud, has a long history. It is distinguished from other stringed instruments because it fretless. It is still widely played in Israel, Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Greece, and Armenia.

The words oud and lute might have come from the Arabic al-d or a thin piece of wood shaped like a straw. Or it could be a reference to the wood plectrum used to play the lute traditionally, or to the narrow wooden strips used to make the instruments back part. Or it could simply mean that the top is made of wood.

Research has suggested that d is the Arabized form of the Persian rud; string, stringed instrument, or lute. In Azerbaijan, where it is called an ud, the instrument is very popular. It has been in use in Azerbaijan since the 7th century.

It is highly probable that is was the Arabs who took with them the instrument to Western Europe in 711 AD, when they erected the Umayyad Caliphate of Al-Andalus on the Iberian Peninsula. Or the instrument could have wound its way to the Iberian Peninsula much earlier in the form of the ancient Roman pandura and Greek pandoura. Although, it is established that the royal houses of Al-Andalus cultivated the environment that increased the popularity of the instrument.

Zyriab was the most renowned player of the instrument in Al-Andalus. He put up Spains very first music conservatory. He also added the instruments fifth course and developed playing technique.

This European version of this instruments became to be known as the lute -- luit in Dutch, luth in French, laute in German, liuto in Italian, and alaud in Spanish. Also of French origin is the word luthier or a stringed instrument maker. The use of frets distinguishes the European lute from the Middle Eastern version.

Legend has it that Lamech, Adams sixth grandson, created the instrument. Grieving over his sons death, Lamech suspended the body of his son from a tree. The shape of his sons bleached skeleton put the idea into his head to make the first oud. - 18423

How To Buy Gaming Consoles At A Discount Price!

By Steve Persipidus

The internet is growing on a daily basis as well as online shopping. If you are looking for a gaming console at a discount price you are aware there alot of stores and options out.

So how do you find the store that offers a discounted price?

What is the one thing that persuades you the most when shopping online? Is it the cost, service, shipping, or the overall buying experience?

The cost of an item is based on a few areas, such as whether or not the store bought there product in bulk for example. Larger stores can offer a lower cost because they have spent less on there side to supply the item. The mark up of the cost over what the store paid is another point. In other words, how much profit does the store want to make. Another factor is shipping. Although This is not directly related it does add to the total cost. Even if they offer free shipping generally the cost of the console will be slightly higher. All of these factor in the cost of the Wii or gaming system you are looking for.

Do they have a garauntee or return policy? Service is another important part of the buying process. Are they able to offer customer support if you have a problem? In my opinion this is almost as important as the cost.

All of this points to one question. Where can you find the Nintendo Wii at a discount price and have a satisfied buying experience? I have spent a few days surfing the web to find the answer. There are several good sites out there that offer competitive prices that are all discounted and some even at wholesale. I have found in order to find these sites its takes patience and research. That is the bottom line!

The best advice I can give to try different key word when you search. If you are looking for Nintendo Wii, don't just enter Wii. For a more tailored approach, if you are looking for an Wii try a more specific search such as a two or three word phrase. Discount Nintendo Wii for example.

These sites are out there you just have to find them. Once you find the site do your research and find another to compare it to. Once you have another site to compare then you can begin to factor the other parts of the buying process such as service and shipping.

Lastly if you are looking for disount or wholesale gaming systems such as the Wii or X Box, look for the sites that may not carry the actual product. Look for the sites that use dropshipping. This allows wholesale and discount prices because these sites have an unlimited supply with relatively low overhead allowing them to pass the savings on to the consumer.

Try these approaches and see what you find. With a little surfing you will no doubt find the site with the lowest price and one that offers the best overall experience. Happy gaming! - 18423
