Digiwaves - Why?

Hello reader; welcome to Digiwaves! I am a student at the University of Michigan, where I study Communication Studies. As part of the class I am in titled "Managing the Information Environment," I am expected to complete a group research project at the end of the semester. This blog is dedicated to that project and its research.

My group has chosen to research the changing music industry and what it means for copyright holders, artists, and record labels. More specifically, our research focuses on music piracy and its implications on the music industry and copyright law.

We believe it is important to study this topic because music plays such a huge role in our culture today, both in the U.S. and throughout the world--it entertains, it brings people together, and it is found almost everywhere--and the survival of the industry in whatever form proves effective means that we will get to enjoy new music for many years to come. As such, we hope our research will lead us to potential solutions to the various issues plaguing the industry today.
