use my first draft which is in the attachment to rewrite my final draft and correct the comment that I got from my professor, and provide all required informations for the paper which are explained below.

The comment that I got from my professor for the first draft:- there are a few things that need tweaking. In the final draft, please be sure to include how percentages of sales will be split among performers, composers and arrangers. Also, make sure to write royalties in $ amounts.

Description of the assignment:

In recent years, online music streaming services have arrived and started to take over purchasing hard copies of CDs. In light of this we will look at the way artists are paid via music streaming services and music downloads. As it stands now, the payout for a single music download is $.091 cents per song (with $01.75 cents per minute for songs over 5 minutes). The payout for streaming music varies across countries and streaming services, so for the purposes of this discussion we will focus on the online service SPOTIFY.

Assignment: Use your draft comments to rewrite your final version of this paper and submit before the due date.

Based on your research and discussion activities on File Sharing and Artists Royalties and Compensation for Online Music sales, propose a new law covering Global Internet sales (a hypothetical international law) which will help protect artist rights and ability to be compensated for creative works. Your new “law” needs to address these issues: 1. Artists Royalties and Compensation for Music Downloads and Streaming, both for performance and composition, 2. File Sharing law.

Present a short defense of your position on each issue and how the law supports artists rights (or not). Assume you are not bound by existing US or International regulations, but take into consideration the differences in US and European compensation and protection policies as they exist today. This “law” should be well written in a simple, easy to read form (no “legalese” needed) and should be short and to the point. You need to cite any materials you use from your research.

Rubric:

Papers are to be written in a professional style, and will be graded for grammar, syntax, and clarity of writing. There is no "word count" for this paper, you just need to include all of the issues listed below.

You will be graded on the inclusion of all of these issues in your “law”, as well as on the thoughtfulness of your research informed defense of your position.
