The RIAA is an organization committed to helping the music business thrive. Their goal is to foster a business and legal climate that protects the ability of our members – the record companies that create, manufacture and/or distribute some 85 percent of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States – to invest in the next generation of music.

In support of this mission, they work to protect intellectual property rights worldwide and the First Amendment rights of artists; conduct consumer, industry and technical research; and monitor and review state and federal laws, regulations and policies.

I feel that RIAA has done an efficient work against copyright infringement, as it has tried to portray the impacts that illegal download of music in its website and also has given enough knowledge and tips of “How to avoid copyright infringement”.

I support RIAA as it has taken a great initiative in making the people aware about the piracy and its effects on the music industries and the people who make the music we love. So, I think people should avoid downloading and uploading illegal music files as it demoralizes the whole of music industry.

Mirial SoftPhone would be a better option for Large companies as it has many sophisticated features like Far end Camera Control,GPU accel etc.

The advantages of buying the system by the given process are :

• Buying online gives the customer a wide range of options along with its prices, so that they can customize their system in whatever manner they want to. Basically it allows the customer to tailor make their systems which they can’t do while buying in a physical store as the systems available are already customized.
• It also excludes the middle man i.e. the retailer of this process, hence reducing the cost price of the system, making the process to be direct between the customer and the producer.

• People are still reluctant to purchase online as they are used to with the traditional way of purchasing.
• Online transaction might not be safe.
