(August 2008) A music download refers to the transferring of a music file from an Internet-facing computer or website to a user's local computer. This term encompasses both legal downloads and downloads of copyright material without permission or payment if required. Popular examples of online music stores that sell digital singles and albums include the iTunes Store, Napster, and nimbit.Paid downloads are sometimes encoded with Digital Rights Management that restricts making extra copies of the music or play purchased songs on certain digital audio players. Digital music sales now generate around $2 billion in revenue, with tracks available through 500 online services located in 40 countries, representing around 10 percent of the total global music market. Around the world in 2006, an estimated five billion songs, equating to 38,000 years in music were swapped on peer-to-peer websites, while 509 million were purchased online.[1] Contents 1 Challenges to legal music downloads 2 The RIAA Against Illegal Downloading 3 Chart inclusion 3.1 United States 3.2 United Kingdom 4 Sales records 4.1 United States 5 See also 6 References [edit] Challenges to legal music downloads Even legal music downloads have faced a number of challenges from artists, record labels and the Recording Industry Association of America. In July 2007, the Universal Music Group decided not to renew their long term contracts with iTunes. This legal challenge was primarily based upon the issue of pricing of songs, as Universal wanted to be able to charge more or less depending on the artist, a shift away from iTunes' standard 99 cents per song pricing. Many industry leaders feel that this is only the first of many show-downs between Apple Inc. and the various record labels[2]. [edit] The RIAA Against Illegal Downloading The Recording Industry Association of America launched its first lawsuits against individuals downloading illegal music files on Septemeber 8, 2003. At first, the RIAA's campaign to sue illegal downloaders looked like a bad idea to many critics, however two years after the start of it, the campaign had survived at least one major legal challenge and began to pick up speed. The RIAA says that it files 700 to 750 suits a month against individuals downloading music files without paying for them in hopes of putting an end to Internet music piracy. Many say that it is unfair for the RIAA to choose certain individuals to sue out of millions, but the RIAA dismisses the charge that the suits are unfair comparing them to those who get targeted for speeding tickets. The RIAA hopes their campaign will force people to respect the copyrights of music labels and eventually minimize the amount of illegal downloads that happen everyday [3]. [edit] Chart inclusion [edit] United States Legal music downloads were first compiled by Billboard in 2003, but they didn't gain mainstream acceptance in the United States until around February 2005, when digital sales for singles started to be included in the Billboard Hot 100 and other Billboard charts. In the year before, the Hot 100 chart was similar to the Hot 100 Airplay chart, because only minor CD-single sales affected the chart. The inclusion of digital singles has immensely helped many songs chart and peak higher, in some cases in the absence of a radio release. Single certifications were introduced in February 2005. Songs that sell a certain number of copies are often certified by the RIAA with the permission of the artist and the record company. [edit] United Kingdom The UK Official Download Chart was launched on 1 September 2004, and included any Permanent Digital Download track, under 10 minutes long, being sold for a minimum price of 40p (0.4 GBP). In January 2005, downloaded tracks outsold physical singles for the first time in UK music history, prompting The Official UK Charts Company to begin to incorporate downloads for the first time into the UK Singles Chart on 17 April 2005, at which time Radio 1 stopped broadcasting the separate download chart, although the chart is still compiled. Initially this was on condition that the song must have a physical media release at the same time; this rule was fully lifted on 1 January 2007 meaning all download sales are now eligible in the chart. [edit] Sales records [edit] United States In November 2005, the record for the best-selling digital single in the United States was held by Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl", which has sold over one million downloads, making it the first song to achieve diamond download status. Since then, "Low" by Flo Rida has overcome it in terms of sales to become the bestselling digital single, with sales of over 4 million. The highest week sales was held by "Gold Digger" by Kanye West. It is now held by "Low" by rapper Flo Rida when the single sold 470,000 downloads one week in January 2008, certifying the single double platinum in just one week. The single beat the previous record holder, Fergie's 2006 single "Fergalicious". The underground dance music scene has not been left out either with the digital download network Beatport.com hitting its one million download mark in 2005.
