Piracy and Its Effect

In todays society it seems as if people have grown unaware of the consequences of their actions. This is especially true for the people who download or take other peoples content within a commercial context. I believe that downloading illegaly is not right because it is breaking the law. However, I will admit that I have downloaded music before and it worked out great. It saves you time from going to the store and it saves you money. I don't abuse these free downloads. If I do download something it is because the prices are to high in the stores. I believe that if it something as small as a song here and there then it should not be made out to be such a big problem. I understand that singers, rap artist, and people involved in the industry need to make money, and I also understand that they have people "stealing" their music. However, with today's economy it is hard for anyone to come up with the money for anything. The music industry seems to still have the same prices. Why pay for something thats more expensive when you can get the same thing for free. Artist have concerts and programs that they can make plenty of money on.

Like I said before the economy today has been rough on just about everyone in this country. The people of this society today will take any handouts or discounts that they can get. It is almost like the seller is trying to help out the consumer. I don't see how this differs from taking free music off the internet. I do belive that movies being burned off the internet should not be done. They cost a lot of money to produce. I think that the theaters are getting away with highway robbery. Nine dollars to see a movie is ridiculous. I think that the actors spend their time to act and make a good movie that they should be rewarded.

Their are so many types, tracks, and sounds of music out there that I think the industry will do fine. Not everyone downloads music but it is well known throughout the world. Having something free and available for you is easier and cheaper than having to get it yourself and spend the money. I believe that downloading music is something that should be the least of our worries.
