Dear Wisin y Yandel,

My name is Giovanni and I am a huge fan of your music. I believe that downloading music for free can be a positive yet negative aspect because money is lost, musicians accuire more fans and/or followers, and jobs are lost. If musicians let people download music for free, the artist has a better possibility to become more famous. A person that finds a song can share that song with many other people and make the musician world wide. Since the music is downloaded without anyone paying anything, stores lose money. Devices like CD's won't be as popular anymore and sales in stores go down. Also if the music is downloaded without any payment, the music industry loses money. If the industry doesn't recieve an appropiate amount of money, some workers in the industry don't get paid. That leads to the loss of jobs. This would also affect the economy in the country. A worker in the industry wouldn't like to lose their job when they can be payed well. Downloading music for free can lift a star or can make one fall.

Sincerely,
Giovanni F.
