After writing my exploratory paper on the effects of illegal online music sharing, I found that the current system set up by the record companies, which disallows online music sharing, is only beneficial to themselves. It does not give enough to the artists and overcharges the costumers for music they can find for free online.
In this policy paper, I will appeal to my audience's bias toward music sharing, as most of them already do it. Also I will point out how record companies condemn sharing because they it means they are not in control. As stated in my exploratory paper, professional studies have been made that show no significant loss in revenue from music downloading. Music is art, and art should be free.
As far as research goes, I will most likely add a source or two more. The ones I have right now are mainly professional studies on music sharing. If I am to convince my audience of my policy change, they are going to need sources of information that are more on their level. I may quote various blogs or other public forums of opinion to grasp what some people think about online music sharing.

Ok, Josh, I see your view on the unfairness of the current situation with current sharing. However, you paper needs to formulate a claim of policy or proposal, neither of which is stated in your topic proposal! You need to spell out what exactly you want to change and how/why it is beneficial to society.
I like that you plan on playing on your audiences current bias towards file sharing. thats a good idea.
