Using free music streaming service in America - Jeongyun Lee



Smart phone is very useful thing in our life. We can use this phone every day, every moment. This is very effective and interesting stuff. We can talk with our friend by message apps, search the informations that we need in the website for example google, and listening popular music. Drawing a paint by apps, composig the song by instrument program. We do not need anymore real paper, pens, drawing tool or instrument. It's amazing! There is some big issue of information technology era. And this new will give effect for information industry too.

Samsung, is a biggest company to make smartphone in the world, They started a free radio and music streaming service in America. The name of this streaming service is Milk Music. They wanted to enter the growing music streaming market. Milk music has a huge library of music, 13 million tracks to the table. People can get 200 pre-made stations and make their own music, those are free of charge. In addtion, we can unlimitly listen the music in this program. And no avertisements. It is innovative change for Samsung. The streaming service is very potential marcket. However, there are many obstacles to use the free streaming service due to copyright law. All of the computer programs, musics, film has their own copywrite. For using the free streaming system, the company must pay royalty to listen and download the music instead of customers. Compared to this company, Apple has already some free programs of music and radio. We must download the apps, often pay for streaming program. But, that program exist in our phone service.

Before several years ago, the issue was illegal downloading movie and music. We know that United Stated has very severe rules to observe copywrite law. It is more common rules than Korea. Evidently, This is another topic, but it realated a lot to new streaming service. The illegal downloading is a crime, but we can think that is not a such serious problem. For using more effective program no charge, at first, computer users also must obey the rules. In addition, the company also follow the law strictly.
