Have you ever shared music on internet? Many people say it is illegal, because it is piracy. Other people say it is a common activity. The truth is that is has many advantages like sharing music with your friends, get music you can’t find in your country, and listening to a song before you buy it. So it is very useful and it is important to mention that it is not an illegal activity.
To share music on internet is useful because you can share music with your friends around the world. Sometimes you listen to a song on TV or in a movie and you like it, but when you search it in the music store you can’t find it. Then you can ask your friends around the world if someone has that song. Finally he sends you the song by internet. So you can share music with your friends and get music that in other way it would be impossible to get.
Sometimes when you listen to a song you like, you want to buy the full album. However, you can doubt about getting it because you have not listened to the rest of the songs. So you can ask your cyber friends if they have the album. Then someone can send you the full album to check if you like it before you buy it. So, if you did not like the rest of the songs, you could decide to buy only the song you liked. Then, if you do not want to waste your money, you can ask your friends to share music.
On the other hand, some people say it is illegal because it is piracy. But according to the law in article no. 151, it is not a violation of copyright if you don’t earn money with this activity. So when you share music on internet with your friends you do not look for money. Then we can realize that the real piracy is at some stores on the streets where the people earn money selling illegal CD copies. In addition, if we see the activity in a technical way, all the CDs are copies and pirated. The real art of music is in a live concert.
Sharing music on internet is a very useful activity because you can find almost any song you want to listen to. In addition you can listen to a CD before you buy it. Then it is very important to mention that it is not an illegal activity, as long as you share music with your friends in a private way. Despite of these facts, people still say it is not good for music companies, because you don’t allow them to get more incomes. On the other hand according to “elcliche.com”, Tommy Mottola, one of the presidents of Sony music Mexico, has more than 50,000 million of dollars. So do you think they need more money?

Rock Music (exam)
What kind of music do you prefer? I love rock music because of many characteristics. I think rock music can provide a strong effect in people. Although rock music has a lot of subgenres, it has its own essence. Instruments, rhythm and lyrics are important characteristics of rock music.
Rock music has different instruments which are guitar, drums and bass. I think guitar is the most important instrument in rock music. I fell very excited when I listen to a guitar in a rock song, especially if it has distortion. I think it gives a thunderous sound to rock music. Drums are also important because give the tempo to rock music. All the others instruments need to follow the drums, so when this play a powerful solo, the other instruments need to wait the final cymbal crash to continue. In addition bass is very important in a rock song because it gives density to the music. When I am listening to a rock song, I can feel the bass resounding in my body, and it makes me jump.
Another important aspect of rock music is its rhythm. The basic rhythm of rock music has four beats in the drums, over one hundred beats per minute. For this reason rock music is fast, and it stimulates me to move my body. Although rock music is mainly comprised of four beats, some important rock bands dare to play with five, seven or nine beats in their songs. Then it makes rock music to be original. Usually the kick drum is played two or three times in a loop, so it gives strength to the music, and it is possible to dance.
The last important characteristic that makes this genre be special is the lyrics of its songs. The lyrics are very important because they talk about strong feelings, so they can talk about something very annoying, or something you love with all your heart. When I listen to a rock song with good lyrics it fills me with energy, and makes me be more intense. In addition, rock music sometimes allows swear words, for this reason there is no limit to express your feelings.
Rock music is something I love because of its characteristics. It encourages me to express my feelings, to move my body and to be an intense person. I think it is the best music genre in the world. For this reason it has a lot of subgenres, and it can vary a little bit in some aspects, but all those genres have the same essence. Although rock music can be only listened to, it affects all your senses.
