Introduction The Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) [1], states: “No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.” The above indicates
Napster is brought to court on charges of copyright infringements by all members of the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA. The RIAA filed an order to restrain Napster from allowing the exchange of songs through its service. The claims brought against Napster included direct, contributory, and vicarious infringements. Napster concocted a defense against the charges, citing the Audio Home Recording Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s safe harbor clause, fair use, and that the
weekend, continuously walking and circling the 9/11 memorial pools in an almost figure eight fashion, I performed two different types of note taking: audio recording and hand-written. Of course, both methods had their advantages and disadvantages. First, the audio recording was great for picking up details. As I type my observations, the audio recording paints a fuller picture of the field and help me recollect events much better. However, one disadvantage is that the notes are a bit long. I recorded
Careers in Acoustic and Audio Equipment Design Audio engineers have an interesting combination of character traits. On the one hand they tend to love music and want to have a hand in creating it. On the other hand they are also lovers of technology and ‘cool gear’. Along with an interest in technology usually comes an interest in understanding how it works – a desire to master the technology. With some people also comes a desire to go beyond the latest gear and ‘do it better’. They have a

Because they have complete control over whether what they should and should not be doing. But getting on to them about what they post at home, is none of their business and the company has no authority over
Internet. Napster is a simple, yet sophisticated program created by a young college student named Shawn Fanning that enables users to anonymously swap and share audio files known as MP3s. During its infancy, Napster only had approximately 3,000 users. At that time, Napster could probably have been protected by the Audio Home Recording Act, “which gives consumers the right to create and transfer digital music for noncommercial purposes” (Gurly). Since that time, according to Chris Sherman, writer for
broadcasting and localization. Radio stations were now able to offer more local content than radio, touching on local news, weather, and advertisements for local businesses all at a higher sound quality. That joined with a symbiotic relationship with the recording industry and the start of formatted radio programs, the two industries were set to last for almost another fifty years (Adams, n.d.). Once again, radio is currently at a crucial stance. FM radio was once the means in which someone could find out
and labeled artists alike: the larger, better-known MP3.com and the smaller, independent, non-profit Songfight. I examine how they each handle the challenges of digital music and their attraction for artists while concluding that a change in the recording industry as we know it is forthcoming. Much of the attention on the MP3 has focused on file sharing programs such as Napster and various "peer to peer" applications, such as Morpheus or KaZaA. While such programs do pose a threat to major
American Murder: The Family Next Door! “This is perhaps the most inhumane and vicious crime that I have had out of the thousands of cases that I have seen,” described Judge Marcelo Kopcow (American Murder: The Family Next Door 01:18:54-01:19:05). This quote from American Murder: The Family Next Door sums up this gruesome murder case and how hard it was for everyone to wrap their head around what Chris Watts' motive was after he was determined to be the murderer of his wife, Shanann, and two young

A 1998 survey of 1,085 corporations conducted by the American Management Association shows more than 40 percent engaged in some kind of intrusive employee monitoring. Such monitoring includes checking of e-mail, voice mail and telephone conversations; recording of computer keystrokes; and video recording of job performance (Doyle

Vinyls play a big role in nostalgia, along with making an impact on music culture and the community.

The following seeks to join these five B's in an intimate manner, bringing to light this seemingly complex connection. Part I: Baroque and Bach Chromaticism and elaborate forms of ornamentation characterize the Baroque period of music. In fact, this period, lasting from the late sixteenth century

technologies, and ideas that will advance our society as a whole. Sampling is the act of taking a portion of one sound recording, and then reusing that portion as an element, or instrument, in a new recording. (Wikipedia) Sampling is an excellent example of a modern way in which others ideas seed our own creativity. Improvements in the technologies that both mediate and constrict the ability to sample, from analog recording devices of the late 1970s, to the digital software suites of today, run parallel
has been put on the “MP3” name by the government and recording industry because of the negative implication it has had in the last decade. Two federal laws have been the center of debate in conjunction with online music. The first, a 1976 revision of the Copyright Act, made duplication of any copyrighted materials legal for educational purposes and non-commercial intent (Jost 773). The second law is the 1992 law, or the Audio Home Recording Act, which legalized duplication of audiotapes for back-up
Criminal destruction and damage, Division 2, Crimes against property generally; Section195 Destroying or damaging property of The Crimes ACT 1900 (Crimes Act, 1900).

We can listen to popular music through iPod, iPhone, computer, internet and etc. However, these things would have been impossible to do back in 19th century because music can only be heard through live performance. This phenomena continue until the idea of recording music pop up back in late 1890s. In the late
