13.  It is Illegal
 Brandon’s personal direct effect on the music
industry because of pirating music files totals 33.00
for 1500 songs. But how much has he contributed
due to discovering new artists?
 I have found many new artists due to copy right
laws being infringed on like James Dupre’s covers
on YouTube and pass that on as well as purchase
music due to new discoveries.
 Conclusion:
 It’s a choice, you have to decide who to believe for
statistics and know that it is illegal to Violate Digital
Piracy Laws.
