The document discusses ethics in the music industry. It notes that while the industry makes a lot of money, some artists cross ethical lines by promoting nudity, violence, and racism in their music. This can negatively influence societal attitudes. Record companies also do not take responsibility for these effects because controversial content increases profits. In conclusion, the music industry would be more sustainable if governments took action against piracy to protect creative works and reward ethical behavior.

problems have occurred in the
music industry. One of these
problems is the way of marke=ng
music. Ar=sts these days have cross
the ethical line so far that led to
many changes on people ethically.
Which we will discuss the side
effects and the posi=ve side of it in
this presenta=on .
14. Moral side effect
Most people listen to music every day. And
Most of them don’t care what the music
represents. They just like the sound and the
rhythm of it .even though, it affect people
minds. For example: rap music. Most rappers
rap about murder, adulatory, violence and
racism. So when normal people listen to it.
They will think that it what most people do or
it's an acceptable thing to do.

accep=ng of violent ac=ons, par=cularly

37. Sta=s=cs about the profits of music
industry
In 2009 globally, for the first =me, more than
one quarter of record companies’ revenues
came from digital channels. Fans can acquire
tracks and albums from download stores,
streaming sites, subscrip=on services, free‐to‐
user sites, bundled with their broadband or a
mobile phone handset.
38. •This presentation points the way to an optimistic future
for the music industry – great offerings for consumers,
more investment in artists, economic growth and more
jobs. Yet we are nowhere near that future today, and we
will not get there without a secure legal environment
where creative work is rewarded and copyright theft is
effectively deterred. To unlock the enormous potential of
digital music, we have to address piracy both on P2P
networks
and in other forms. That is where, today, we look to
governments for action.
