My Future and Media


I am a music lover and trying to find new music relating to any kinds of media and study about them to become a great composer.

I cannot remember exactly when I started to download music, film, or TV show files. One thing I remember is that I was a heavy downloader when I decided to become a composer. As I was preparing to go to college, I took full advantage of free mp3 files. I was thankful for these free downloading files available because I was just a high school student at the time and could not afford to buy hundreds of music files I needed for my future study. Later on I found myself being frustrated when I could not find the file I was looking for. I was thinking the free file should obviously exist and be ready for me to download like it was prepaid.

Once I got into college, music companies were angry all over the news talking about free downloaders and called them stealers. Although I agreed and admit that free downloading is stealing, it did not stop me from downloading. But it became a shock to me on the fourth year of my college. I saw friends who were musicians and composers going out to the real world music business struggling to make money for what they have created.

Since then, I decided to become a protector of media. My future goal is to become a media lawyer who protects the rights of creators and prevent them being swindled by big media companies in order to sustain themselves artistically and to produce great works.

  1. I find it interesting that you decided to switch it up and become a "music protector." What instruments do you play?
