This is a very hot-topic in our world today. Piracy is still very popular, especially for music and movies. You can always find articles about piracy and the battle against it. Although it is wrong for people to get something for nothing at the expense of someone else's hard work, companies that produce the material being pirated still make a lot of money. I'm not supporting piracy, I'm just saying it doesn't take much money away from large companies that already make millions upon millions.
P: The purpose of this writing is to show the readers that the need for anti-piracy was just as large of an issue now as it was back in the early 1900's.
T: A new industry of "mechanical music" began to cover the country but composers weren't able to share in the wealth.
I: Sousa showed concern for composers losing money due to the first form of piracy, but expressed even greater concern when this piracy threatened amateur composers. He didn't want upcoming composers to feel threatened by piracy
C: Sousa's extremism in copyright law led him to believe that the media culture, where commercial entities profited from creative works, need to be regulated. He did not, however, believe getting together and singing songs made by other composers needed regulation.
