Prep for Chapter 4

After watching "A discussion of the music wars on the Internet". What is Chuck D's point of view on Intellectual property? What is Lars? How are the different? What's the critical point here?
After watching “A discussion of the music wars on the Internet,” Chuck D is a part of the political rap group known as public enemy and Lars is from the rock back Metallica, these two groups are well known. Chuck D believes in musical freedom and had no problem with people getting music for free. Lars believes that those who create music, which is their intellectual property should be compensated for their efforts. He does not believe people should be able to get free music. Even though these two had different points of views, they agreed that this can increase your fan base. Between these two musicians the main critical point here is that no matter how hard companies or musicians may try to stop the piracy of music, it will never be stopped, and it can’t be stopped. A small few like we have seen in the past may be punished will millions of people will continue despite what the law says.

Specifically, what is the argument made in this audio segment? How is it different from the above videos? Incorporate and cite information from Laura Sydel in your answer.
In this segment, it is about people who create music but are not being paid for it because with the advances in technology i.e. the Internet, music is readily available for piracy at any time leading music companies to lose millions of dollars because people prefer free, over having to pay a price. Laura Sydel mentions how CD sales have gone down in the past 10 years. In this segment she mentions how eventually there will be no more artist because there will be no selling of their music and without their music being sold they will eventually not make any money.
Why is what Eric Schmidt said important?
I agree with what Eric Schmidt had to say. People do have good intentions but with new technology some people will want to download for free and some will pay a small price for it. An example of this would be Rhapsody or iTunes. People will buy from their favorite’s artist online. I feel like musicians may try harder to be the best musician they can be, because people pay for their favorite artist music to support them, but all others they will just download.
