enquiry on medical specialty piracy A Proposal Submitted to Ms. Rupal Khambhati efficiency (S. R. Luthra Institute Of Man successionment) BY Farhan 14 Divyesh 23 Huzefa 15 Pratik 31 Bhaumik 58 Hardik 05 November 13, 2011 Executive Summary In todays technological era, the medicament industry is in a crisis. Music is being downloaded illegally to a greater extent than ever . Rising costs for medicinal drug coupled with a neediness of guilt for pirating music has gived music piracy rates to skyrocket. Be it classical, emblematic , rock and roll or pop.The inquiry is also about that each student has the ability to access release music by music piracy because of the wide variety of sites offering it. The chore The real problem in the music industry is the fact that music costs more(prenominal) than what sight want to pay for it. The problem of piracy has arisen with the rapid foster of technology. There are various sites offering free music to multitude so why pay for the thing which you are already acquiring it free of cost. The lack of proper patent laws or more correctly, the enforcement of these laws forfeit the perpetrators of this crime to get away scott-free.Due to this rampant piracy, the government is strip of tax revenues, jobs are lost and research and innovation never carry off place. The maximum bill of illegal downloading is done by youngsters in the age group of 20 -25 years. As long as this group does not take note of the losses suffered by the artists, music companies and the government repayable to this menace, no concrete step can be taken to expect the loss. Research objective Our research objective is to collect information from students that why do they prefer downloading music illegally rather than purchasing it or what would induce them to obtain music legally.We believe that most students in questionnaire volition say that they have downloaded music illegally and a significant amount of their music is pirated. The ev oke pop out of our research will be the part about guilt and which alternative method they prefer. Another very interesting result will be the final question, which method of distributing music would cause people to be more likely to purchase music legally. .Literature round One study conducted by Alejandro Zentner found that because of the easy accessibility to free illegal music, the likelihood for someone to legally purchase music reducings mingled with 35-65% (Zentner 2005).Music piracy is relevant to students because it is found in that illegal music pirating is highest in College and High School Students. There is also an almost friction match pressure to pirate music because it seems as if everyone else is doing it and there are virtually no consequences. (Ingram 2008) (Mallin 2009). Boorstin (2004) collected data from the Census in three dissimilar years from various cities and regresses the CD sales on each city on the number of people with internet access finding that people who are under 24 with internet access tend to decrease their CD consumption.Peitz and Waelbroeck (2004) build their data from 16countries and they try to figure the effects of digital downloading on physical music sales. In their findings they conclude that among the factors that influence sales is the GDP growth, Mp3 downloads and the availability of broadband. Levi, Dato-on and Rhee (2004) try to identify how consumer ethics are committed to music piracy by conducting both qualitative and quantitative research to a exemplification of college students.Their findings prove that people who download have fine ethical concern and they also believe that their action will wrong neither the record company nor the artist. Benefits Of Study ? To increase public fostering and awareness regarding piracy. ? Finding various alternatives to curb piracy such as creation of separate music websites which will reduce the operating cost for distributing and can make very large profits by position advertisements on the website. ? To get opinions and ideas from people as what steps they think should be taken to stop piracy and see a suitable system of rules to curb piracy on the basis of that. The items that counterfeiters and pirates produce are often substandard, sometimes endangering the lives of those who purchase them. These illicit activities steal market share from reliable businesses and undermine innovation, with negative implications for economic growth. ? This research is important because when finally proposing a solution, the approval of the populations that download music at the highest rates, which is college students, should be taken into upright consideration.Also since there is so little research as to the correlativity between different demographics besides age done, my research can wait on to find if there is a correlation and if there is, it can be useful to target certain methods for eradicating piracy within a population.
