Everyone knows what happened in Haiti recently. The earthquake that hit them ruined the country and has brought so much suffering to the people. Even today as I write this post, countless Haitians are on the streets and still suffering.
The international community has been quick to do what it could to help out but it seems that there can never be enough help doled out. The infrastructure of the capital was torn down by the strong quake and a lot of Haitians are not being reached quick enough. Worse, there is a lack of medicine, water, food, and other basic necessities.
While many have already given what they can, we can still help in other ways. One of these ways is by downloading the music from the recently concluded production Hope For Haiti Now. I don’t know if you got to watch the telethon but I did and it was very touching how it was all put together.
I have to admit, the musical performances were one of the main reasons I watched it and they were all great! The songs were perfect for the theme and the artists gave their best when performing. It really is worth getting that music. Even better, when you buy the album, you will be giving directly to Haiti.
Hope For Haiti Now can be downloaded from Amazon at 0.99 cents per song. You may opt to get music song by song or download the whole album. The latter option will save you a bit of money.

It may be easier to find a needle in a haystack than to find a site which offers free music and videos on the web nowadays. Pay for download sites have at least made it more affordable for the music lover to get their hands on the latest and hottest hits off the web which they can use for personal purposes. MP3How.com is a portal which gives you access to music from several sites that are hailed to be the best on the net. They offer some of the lowest rates for people who love music and don’t want to spend a fortune doing so. This is the best option for music labels for DRM has proved to be quite ineffective even to control illegal/pirated music within their borders. Some sites have opted to give free downloads that have advertising included within the tracks as their major source of income. They can be accessed through a proprietary player which also acts as the download interface and conversion platform (for conversion into formats that the myriad of players support some of which have proprietary formats) for the downloaded tracks.
The next, most viable option for music labels is to sell music already in digital format that avoids piracy with included DRM solutions embedded. Major labels have done so through affiliation with music downloading sites in hopes of getting revenue from their music, making it so cheap that people would opt to buy the licensed songs rather than the pirated ones. Asia is still one of the most notorious regions on earth where piracy has become a source of livelihood for the many citizens of developing countries. China, Taiwan, and other countries in Asia have long been at war at these piracy rings but sometimes arrests and stopping one, results in several replacing them and the cycle goes on and on. The key would be to prevent the demand so as to affect the supply which is why sites like MP3How have started to offer membership for less than a dollar to access over 3 million strong collection of songs, videos and TV shows.
