Chapter 4: Musicians Look For Pay In An MP3 World

How are the ideas expressed in the Sydel segment it different from the Chuck D and Lars Ulrich video?

If people keep downloading music for free than the quality of the music will go down because no one will be able to make a living as a professional musician. The United States has copyright laws it just have become difficult for the record companies to enforce them.

What point does Sydel make that is the same or different than the Chuck D and Lars Ulrich video?

Artist Jonathan Coulton writes songs about his life as a computer programmer. Coulton allows people to download his music for free on the Internet but people have been willing paying for the songs. Coulton says that he makes more money now than he did as a computer programmer and that he has more creative freedom now than he would if he signed with a record company.
