I think that piracy is abused all the time, and it is almost impossible to know every time you are doing it. I think there are to many lawsuits concerning piracy. I realize that people have rights to certain parts of the media, but we can't avoid piracy completely. I do believe that piracy is bad for the economy. For example, the downloading of mp3's on the internet has basically shut down CD sales. Music stores have seen a rapid decline in sales due to people downloading free music online. This is true with films as well. I have seen a number of movie stores going out of business. I never see Blockbusters anymore, and hollywood video has also been in a steady decline. Piracy is definitely bad for the economy, but in most cases, it is hard to avoid completely.
The privacy is serious problem....
返信削除Recently, we can't use "Limewire" because it was broken. Actually, there are a lot of songs, video which infringe a copyright. Therefore, we were free to download these. In Japan, people tend not to watch TV. I guess it is because there are a lot of animation joint ownership sites. We have to regulate these.
I have seen illegal copy DVDs in many places.
返信削除I think selling illegal copy DVDs is not good as you mentioned.
However, I think it is okay to enjoy oneself even if offend against piracy.
