In recent years with the development of online file sharing software and illegal downloading, many musicians have been losing money on music sales. The conflict between copyright laws and the digital age, are solely in violation because of the ease and accessibility in which we the internet user can get our music. Tim Arango tells in a recent article in the New York Times, that on Tuesday October 26th a federal judge in New York City issued an injunction that will shut down Limewire, one of the biggest file sharing services available in the U.S. Limewire was founded by Mark Gorton in 2000. Gorton who was once a successful Wall Street trader seems to be headed in the direction of sites like Napster. Conflict between file sharing sites and music companies will continue until some sort of mediation is enforced.
