Free music can actually cost millions

After reading this article it goes to show that you could be part of a black market and not even realize it. In chapter 20 we learned about things such as public and private goods. Well the music and entertainment business provide a variety of rivate goods to consumers such as cd's and movies. But you always have those people that want a free ride and thus file sharing programs were invented. These enable you to download music and movies for free. This is actually illegal making it a black market. My question is what do you think they will do in the future to cut out all filesharing and piracy? Do you think that it will be around forever?
