Distribution and The Web

Distribution and The Web
With the invention of the web many things have been changed. First of all the way in which films and moving images are being delivered into peoples houses. This first started off with sites like Napster.com which was one of the first sites that allowed people to download MP3s and also movies, but with the internet speeds of them days this was either not possible or completely unviable with reports saying that to download a full film would take up to 43 Hours as compared to today where it can take 10 to 15 minutes to download a full 720P BluRay film.

But this is not the only way that the Internet has changed the way in which things have been distributed , the main thing that people will think of when you ask them how the internet has changed the way things have been distributed they will indeed tell you that the Invention of Streaming Films and Television series directly into their living rooms using services such as Internet Connected Smart Tv's, Netflix and Lovefilm has been one of the big changes brought upon by the rise of the internet. This has become by far one of the most used services for getting films and TV shows for many people now as it is just so easily accessed from devices suck as games consoles and your standard PC.

But as with all things there are some bad points with the Distribution of media over the web, this first and most prominent is the threat of Internet Piracy within the Distribution of media. This has been shown to be one of the main ways in which people now get their Music, Film and TV files from. This is very bad for the media industry as it is taking a very large amount of money from the companies that should be selling these products and in turn the companies that have produced the products.
