Technology has played a major part in how society acquires music. In years past, many people used popular downloading sites to illegally download music without having to pay for it. People usually use these sites to download songs or ringtones onto their phones or Ipods. Limewire became popular in late 2010. Although many find illegally downloading convenient, it can have negative affects on your computer such as viruses and crashes. Civilization has come a long way in music since the radio!
