Week #9: Digital Music

Digital Rights management:
I believe that if you paid for the music you are entitled to transfer it to your computer, ipod, etc. I understand that is the only way music bands get their money, but if they really want the "fans" or consumers to enjoy their work, then why not let them take their music to whereever they please? I think that as long as you do not modify the work of the band/artist the consumer is entitled to their rights as a consumer (to enjoy the music however they please).

Liveplasma:
This website was AMAZING. I found out that my all time favorite band Intocable has a new album coming out soon! This website also lets you see all the CDs your band/artist has made throughout their careers. It also lets you see which other bands/artists sound the same.

Last.fm:
This is a GREAT website! It is a radio online and it's FREE! I just liked the radio part.

Music Strands:
In this website you can hear parts of a music songs. This is awesome because you can actually preview a CD before buying it.

Upto11.net:
I did not spend more than 10 seconds on this website because of the loud colors. Not appealing at all. I can't really inform you about this site because it hurt my eyes and couldn't navigate it.
