Portable music and portable music devices are great innovations
for the music lovers helping them to enjoy large collections
without the hassle of CD cases and storage issues. Everything
is fine if they must be used and purchased with common sense,
to avoid the phenomenon of piracy thus being partially or fully
responsible for the down-market of the music industry. Though
the portable music industry is booming, there is some confusion
surrounding this new format which enhances Piracy. Therefore
consumers find themselves in an unsound serenity, where it is
difficult to differentiate between legal and illegal.

Before purchasing any musical devices or music you must get
sure of few things like What is portable music? Where do you
get portable music? How can you tell a site is legal? Can you
really get caught? Can you make backups of music downloads?
The answers to these queries will help you steer clear of piracy
concerns. Anything you can take it with you, is portable. The
most common definition of this today, however, is the download
format, or MP3 or DVD. You can get portable music from a
variety of legal download sites on the Internet. Site having
licensing agreements with the record labels reveals that it is a
reputable site that offer portable music downloads which means
that for each song that is downloaded the correct labels and the
related artists will get their royalties. If a site offers copyrighted
music for free, then it is an illegal site. If you are unsure, check
into a site's background before making the downloads free from
any issues. It is possible for a record company to track who
has illegal downloads from the sites via IP addresses. This
does not support prosecution for everyone who makes an illegal
down- load, but it can happen for the unfortunate.

Some download sites offer special programs that enable the
creation of backup CDs or they will store the buys online for
you, even they enable the copying of music on to multiple
devices, depending on the site music is purchased from. You
are prohibited to make copies of the downloads to give away
because it is a kind of piracy. Digital Rights Management, or
DRM, protection is often included in downloads to prevent the
person from making copies of portable music. DRM is a special
programming key that disables copies after X amount or it can
stop correct copying all together. It varies according to the site
and the individual record labels to eradicate piracy which is a
threat to the music industries.
