reading this paper, is the discrepancies between Indigenous and Western worlds and the way in which they conceptualise music. When understanding music as a tool for reconciliation, it can be defined under any of the headings stated above.

Downloading music against the wishes of an artist or producer is breaking the law. Some believe that it is not stealing or illegal. They are just making a copy of someone’s
of this paper was to observe if and how the open source software licensing regime has challenged the protection granted to software under the intellectual property rights. In general, the outcome is that the distinct production and distribution model of open source licenses, while different, can be compatible with the legal framework of intellectual property rights protection and serve different purposes.

Outlook Intellectual property rights have made a huge amount of headway towards stopping the illegal things going on, but also have a very long way to go.
