  • The Effects of Digital Music Distribution" (2012)
    Southern Illinois University Carbondale OpenSIUC Research Papers Graduate School Spring 4-5-2012 The ffecE ts of Digital Music Distribution Rama A. Dechsakda [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/gs_rp The er search paper was a study of how digital music distribution has affected the music industry by researching different views and aspects. I believe this topic was vital to research because it give us insight on were the music industry is headed in the future. Two main research questions proposed were; “How is digital music distribution affecting the music industry?” and “In what way does the piracy industry affect the digital music industry?” The methodology used for this research was performing case studies, researching prospective and retrospective data, and analyzing sales figures and graphs. Case studies were performed on one independent artist and two major artists whom changed the digital music industry in different ways. Another pair of case studies were performed on an independent label and a major label on how changes of the digital music industry effected their business model and how piracy effected those new business models as well. I analyzed sales figures and graphs of digital music sales and physical sales to show the differences in the formats. I researched prospective data on how consumers adjusted to the digital music advancements and how piracy industry has affected them. Last I concluded all the data found during this research to show that digital music distribution is growing and could possibly be the dominant format for obtaining music, and the battle with piracy will be an ongoing process that will be hard to end anytime soon.

As a young woman, Dominique lived abroad and travelled extensively. This, coupled with her background in English literature and her love of the written word, has inspired her to spend her professional life finding a path to enable people to enjoy personal and meaningful communication through greeting cards. This new collection reflects the culmination of Dominique's work, and her experience designing greeting cards and personal expression products that are unique, differentiated and extraordinary. 2 NIQUEAD.com “I have always dreamt of creating something completely new and innovative that embodies the depth of knowledge that I have gained during my life’s journey. The written word is incredibly powerful and our desire to connect with others is an innate and profound human quality. The perfect card given at the right time is a priceless gift and can become a moment to be cherished for years to come. It has always been my passion to create exceptional greeting cards that inspire others to reach out and make meaningful and lasting connections with the special people in their lives.” With this new collection, we hope to offer something special to people who are seeking content that is relevant and meaningful, and reflects their values and tastes.

THE War: it all starts with simple tensions. These tensions can range from racism, to anger and in this case, a CHATHAMS territorial argument. Although war may still be far away, tensions have started to rise in the Pacific. The tensions have recently begun rising between China and the Philippines, and now the United States.
