I questioned 5 college students to hear their opinions on this topic.  I was able to cover most of the questions developed by our team.  Four of the five participants were not concerned about the penalties and in fact download their music illegally.      <br \/>\n<br \/>\nFocus Group Rational<br \/>\nThe Internet has completely changed the music industry. Because music can no longer be protected with copyright and more people than ever are downloading music for free, the old business models are become ineffective. Our focus group sessions were designed to determine exactly how Gen-Y consumers are getting their music. Information from these sessions will allow us to advise Proximity clients on how to best use music sites to connect with Gen-Y. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSetting and Participants  <br \/>\n  The session took place in my apartment and lasted for approximately 45 minutes.
