What is Music Piracy ?
Music piracy is illegally using someone's music without his/her permission, and it has long story. Basically, music piracy has been happening ever was music was invented. Music piracy is considered as serious crime in several countries including America. Due to the technology improvement, music piracy has been slightly decreasing. For example, if you use some artists music on your video, and post it to youtube, you won't be able to make revenue off your video, and all the revenue goes to the artist. Another example is that Instagram automatically eliminates the videos that have no permission. However, the longest you can use someone's music without their permission is that 8 seconds on Youtube. On the other hand, Djs have been using old songs to make music. Recently, EDM industry has been growing fast. In consequence, EDM artist has been using someone's music to make their remix. I wonder if it is still considered as music piracy.
