It is a fact that music and films are available freely via Internet. From my point of view, based on several reasons, I firmly believe that this development is beneficial.

To begin with, easy access to music and films can give opportunities to customers to apply state of the art technology to content-providing websites. For example, well-developed Artificial Intelligence technology is applied to websites in order to recommend music and films to customers by analyzing their trend of behavior in websites. To take another example, the technology of iris recognition and fingerprints is used to purchase contents as a way of secure transaction. Also, people are able to gain various and useful information at a glance by looking at a monitor. It is because, websites are neatly organized to search contents conveniently using well-categorized menus.

Moreover, the evaluation of artists’ abilities done by critics that are posted online, will help consumers decide whether or not to purchase music or films online.  More specifically, by using a method of sharing reviews on a certain artist, it is possible to affect customers’ behavior of buying. For instance, numerous writers write about singers and actors on their blogs, and blogging visitors leave comments on their posts to toss around opinions. Furthermore, there are more chances to experience diverse sorts of music and films when using them on the internet. It is favorable since customers will have more options to experience other music types and movies that they have never gone through.

In conclusion, the convenience for customers and the application of remarkable advancement of technology are the benefits of having the availability of music and films online.
