In Rainbows

The digital revolution has had a profound impact on our world today, and has particularly had a strong impact on today's media. We now can digitally download music, movies, and other files protected under copyright law. Needless to say, there are lot of controversial legal implications within the issue of peer to peer file sharing and illegal downloading. Many professionals within the music industry and legal system have been rejecting these new advances in technology by bringing those who participate in this kind of file sharing to court, however others have come to accept the digital revolution as an inevitability. A prime example of this is the release of the alternative rock band "Radiohead's" new album titled "In Rainbows". The band launched its album last week, only available for download at the official site, and it allows the buyer to name his or her own price. The buyer can therefore pay one cent, a hundred dollars, or nothing at all for this album. This shows how different people within the music industry react differently to new changes in technology.
