But for those of you unaware of the whole thing, here are the basic details. The Real Story Major online music record labels are of the opinion that YouTube’s ability to make money from videos puts it in a position of power. Now you might think that its fair, right? Atleast you are getting your free music, right? But wait.   What about the independent artists and composers who make quality songs? And what about other services where you listen mp3 online?

Free Music Without Borders: An Indo-Pak Tale

Image
Folks, last month on the occasion of India-Pakistan’s Independence Day, free music was celebrated as a symbol for freedom. In 1947, Indian independence also brought partition with it.  A Prom night by BBC at Royal Albert Hall on August 25, 2017 brought two rich classical music cultures together. Free Music – Without Borders A celebration of diversity and   free music   emerged when a full house audience came, not just from South-Asia but from Europe as well. When these two nations separated from each other, the way they   play songs   was also separated.

There is little doubt that when one plays or listen to free music ,   the...

Most of the podcasts follow a weekly episodic pattern. These could be about talk shows, movie reviews, weekl...

Do Wallpapers and Songs Play a Larger Role?

Image
Every culture has its own way of seeing; ways that are within and structured among other things, its systems of knowledge and belief. A way of seeing is a relation between self and what can be seen. Online chatting on the  best social networking sites  also involves the act of seeing which is fundamental to the constitution of identity. But, a question pops up in this context; is there any role that simple stuff like  stock wallpapers  or mp3 songs play? And if it so, then are we using too much of media? There is no simple yes, or no, answer to this question as even the media effect can be studied in the form of theories. These effects are based on various socio, economic, and cultural factors. If a person visits social sites too often and spends much time on  Bollywood new songs  or online games then that can be looked in various ways, two of which go like this: Functionalist way  – It assumes that media has a role and function in ...
