Musical Thieves and Chicken
Here I am looking for a topic to write on, and it dawned on me . Why not write about Music? and the illegal market we are all apart of.
Ever downloaded music from a P2P site? Probably your answer will yes, why is it that getting music without paying for it is so easy.
The economic principle that people respond to incentives is at play here, if the music is available for download which you can then listen to it on your computer, your music playing device or your phone, there is no incentive to buy the CD's.
Just a few years ago if you wanted to get music you had to be the records, the a-track, the cassettes or the CD's. Or am I the only old one here?
So now with music being more accessible people take advantage of it. Since nobody is going around arresting people for music downloads, and jails around the world just don't have the space to hold all the offenders the music sharing and stealing will continue.
Speaking of Music;
A Taiwanese farmer got a grant to play music to his chicken for 3-4 hours a day while feeding, his findings were that chickens that usually took 90 days to mature, now took 80 days. This meant he would pay less of chicken feed. But his other findings were that the "music fed chicken" were fatter and had more lean meat that the normal chickens, so is this an indication for the chicken farms in Jamaica and in the US?
In the near future you may hear of the 'R&B chickens, 'Reggae chickens', 'Rock chickens' and humorously the 'Dance-hall Chickens'.
Question: What colour egg would chicken lay if it listens to the Kartel Song about bleaching?
