OPINION EASY ABOUT PIRACY

Nowadays, lot of people download music, films and software from the internet. They prefer piracy than buying disc or a film. I think that it’s from different reason.

It’s true that piracy is free and easy to get. However, when you download an article form the internet the quality of this article is worse than if you buy it. The sound and the image are different. In addition, when somebody makes a film o a song, he spends a lot of time and money. If you download this film or song you don’t pay for it and this person doesn’t earn money. Everybody wants to earn money for his job. If you don’t pay for somebody’s work, it’s not fair for the creator.

Moreover, if someone don’t have enough money to pay for the film or you buy the film there are a lot of means to hear the song or watch the film with measures. There is youtbue, cintube and more webs. With these webs you can hear and watch films and songs online.

In conclusion, I think that we can fins a lot of means to avoid piracy and act ethically. 

Piracy

   Piracy is when somebody downloads files (like music, films or software) from the internet for free (without paying the author rights of these files).

   On the one hand it's true that if people download, for example, a music album, they won't buy the original CD after that. On the other hand, perhaps if they like the music they have downloaded, they would go to the convert of the group, which provides artists with lots of money.

   In conclusion, I think that in fact it's unethical to download files illegally and for free because the author hasn't authorised selling his product for free. Finally I believe that one solution could be to create legal webs where people could download files legally and for free with the agreement, of course, of the authors of these files.

MUSIC PIRACY

Piracy is the unauthorized use or reproduction of another person's work. This practice has increased since everybody can download music easily from the Internet and, what's more, it's allowed by the government.

On the pne hand, in Spain buying CDs is very expensive. Furthermore, it might happen that you like 10 songs out of 14, but you are paying for all the songs. The advantages of downloading music from the Internet are that you can choose which songs you want to have and even the lyrics, and the best thing is that you can get all of these for free. On the other hand, when you download music instead of buying CDs what you are doing is cheating on composers and singers. And, what's more, they have been working hard so as to create something important that can make us feel better, imagine, smile...

In my opinion, music piracy is wrong because singers deserve to earn money for the job that they have made. It's true that since we download music from the Internet, more singers and groups have been discovered. I think that piracy is very difficult to forbid, but what singers can do is give more concerts or make CDs cheaper.

Piracy

Digital piracy has grown very fast, lately. In my opinion, I think that it’s wrong, but a lot of people, me included, love it.

First of all, pirated authors are doing their job when they sing, work, or whatever they do.  Therefore, if we download their programmes or songs without paying, we are fooling them. We should respect the creators, the small ones overall, because they need this money too, like everyone who has a job.
However, I have to say that I am one more pirate. It could be really unethical to know that it is wrong and continue doing it, but the comfort, free downloading and good quality seduce me.

To sum up, authors whose digital products are pirated aren’t having a good time nowadays. Nevertheless, people are still using it, because of its easy accessibility.

PIRACY

There is a controversy about whether piracy is ethical or unethical. It’s a fact that free downloads from the Internet are damaging the music industry (and more industries) and sales are falling seriously.

In my opinion, piracy is not wrong at all, because it’s been caused by a rise in prices and a devaluation of the music quality (a massive emergence of “new stars”). Moreover, downloads are a good way to become famous and, afterwards, earn money with concerts and other events. Nowadays, CD sales are not as important as they were in the past; it’s more important to be relevant on social networks and on media’s conferences. Actually, piracy isn’t harming the music industry at all, it’s a good way for a whole lot of groups to become known and it’s making national music expand throughout the world. What’s more, if people are able to have access to piracy it is because music industry and other industries related to piracy are not as affected as they seem to be. In fact, there are many bands that are showing their songs in the net in order to get a lot of visits and obtain popularity (people who go to their concerts, one of the most important sources of money). 

To sum up, piracy can seem a great damage to music industry; but, in the new globalized world, it can be a helpful tool to be successful.

PIRACY: BENEFICIAL OR A PROBLEM?

Piracy is something common in our country, almost everybody has downloaded music or films from the internet, it's not considered a crime, more or less. Anyway, is it a beneficial or a problem?

Most people don't mind downloading all sort of files from the internet illegally, neither do I. I think it's something good in some ways, we're sharing information, data, culture, knowledge... and for free! Anybody with a computer and internet connection (which isn't cheap, actually) can access to these data, there are no differences between people. We're in a difficult situation now, some of us cannot afford certain things.

Piracy has damaged a lot both cinematographic and music industries. But these companies have made some progress in order to be competitive and survive. The price of DVDs has decreased a lot, years ago a new DVD could cost about 60€ or 70€. Now you can have a brand new Blu-Ray (with a higher quality of image) for half the price. Then 3D cinemas have appeared and spread, they aren't very good nowadays, but they are supposed to improve soon. Some internet stores offer to download music for a low price but in a good quality (1€ each song, more or less).

Piracy has given us a great benefits, we've got access to music, films and software easily and for free. And companies have tried to improve giving us new services and decreasing prices. Piracy has hurt the industry, but it also has stimulated it in some ways.

DO YOU THINK PIRACY IS WRONG OR UNETHICAL?

Piracy is something that everybody has done in his life. But is it wrong or unethical? Do you think it is fair for the actors, singers, directors or all the people who have worked?

Firstly, I think it is unfair for people who have worked in something and expect to earn money for it. However, these people in many cases are very rich so maybe they can cut the price of what they are offering to reduce piracy.

Secondly, I don't think that offering better services if you pay for the product instead of downloading it will decrease piracy, so why doing it? People want product, not extras.

Thirdly, I think that now it is impossible to stop piracy because it's really widespread that has spread too much and it is very easy to do. Furthermore, in this time of crisis people can't pay for some products which aren't necessary.

To sum up, I think that piracy is unstoppable but for all the great companies and all actors or singers who earn a lot of money this isn't a terrible problem because they still earn loads of money.

PIRACY

I agree that piracy is wrong and unethical. But, what can we do? Prices continue to rise and we can’t afford to spend much, so we have to save and save with piracy.

I think that everybody knows that it is wrong, but we keep doing it. Now, due to the current financial crisis, we need to save more and as piracy is free, everyone uses it. In addition, artists will continue to live well and making money giving concerts or performing  in  theatres, etc. However,  they probably will not earn so much and therefore they will continue complaining.

In conclusion, piracy is not considered correct /frowned upon as the artists will be making money and we can save it. For this reason, everybody uses piracy and is not ashamed of it.

PIRACY

   Nowadays everybody listens to music, sees films and reads books, every day or almost sometimes. Purchasing all these things used to be very expensive, at least in Spain, and a lot of people have decided to get them using internet and paying nothing.

Even though piracy is not legal and that damages artists and writers making them earn less money, that’s the easiest and cheapest way to get culture. From my point of view, it is not unethical because all the things people get from the internet have been made to get as many people as possible, and piracy lets this come true.

Despite artists earn less money, people who don’t have any money to spend can get CDs, books, etc. so as to be equal as the others. I think piracy means equality and makes no difference between rich and poor people. Besides equality, piracy offers more possibilities to everybody and lets people be more open-minded.

Even so, piracy could decrease if companies decided to sell their products cheaper, although they could think it wouldn’t be useful, I’m sure the sales are going to increase in the near future, and it’s better to earn little money than earn nothing.

Downloading music, films, etc

A lot of people nowadays pirate a lot of music, films, software…. Because it is easier and free, and at some countries they are trying to ban that.

To start with, I think that downloading things from the internet isn’t wrong or unethical, because, if you wanted to see a film which you don’t know if it is going to be good, and you can’t download it, you will have to pay for it and then you will never see it again. That’s a way of seeing the films that you can’t see at the cinema. The same happens to music, I usually like some songs of a singer, not all his CD, and downloading music you can convert it into MP3.

In my opinion you can download one or two films or some music, although some people download excessively.

In conclusion I think that downloading and piracy some things is ok, but with moderation. 

PIRACY

Piracy is the unauthorized use or reprodution of another person's work. That is now one of the problems in every country, as sales of CDs,DVDs decline. This happens because of Internet downloads are free and don't punish those who watch it. If they are free and no fining is it wrong or unethical?

In my opinion piracy has two aspects, one good and one bad. On the one hand it's good because you don't need to pay to listen music or to watch a movie. And also, many singers put their songs on Internet for people to listen and after that they say their opinion about song. But on the other hand, the artist, whose job is singing or acting, need the money they get from the CDs to live. And the government needs CD taxes to make money.

In conclusion, it would be a good solution to allow people to download CDs and movies online for a small amount, in addition to selling CDs so as make everyone happy.

PIRACY

Piracy is downloading an illegal copy of a product (music, films, software, etc.) from the Internet. It has increased a lot during the last years because it's easy and free, and everyone can do it.

First of all, from my point of view it's wrong because it causes loads of economic losses to the people who make these products. For instance, if you download a song instead of buying it, you're making the artist or the singer lose money. What's more, you're stealing a product that belongs to him or her without paying anything.

Furthermore, piracy is illegal. It's considered a crime, so if you download something illegally or buy an illegal copy of something you're breaking the law. In my opinion it's unethical.

To sum up, I think that it's much better to buy a product or download it legally instead of doing it illegally, because we must stop piracy. When we download an illegal product, we're damaging its owner.

PIRACY :)

More over, if someone don't have enough money to pay fot the film or to buy the disc, there are a lot of means to hear the song or watch the film with legal measures. Tere is youtube, cinetube and more webs. With these webs you can hear and wacht films and songs online.

In conclusion , I think thaht we fins a lot of means to avoid piracy and act ethically.

PIRACY

Nowadays you can find everything on the internet including films, music and software. Some people think that copying them is wrong and unethical. I agree with them.

First of all, people work hard to make the films, record the music and other products. I think that downloading and selling them is like stealing their work. However, I feel that they can reduce the price of these products because they get a lot of money.
What's more, when you pirate something the quality is worse so if you want good quality you should buy the product.

To sum up I believe it is wrong to pirate things from the internet. Also, I think that it's difficult to stop but if they lower the prices more people would buy the original product.

IS PIRACY A PROBLEM?

For a long time it has been debated if piracy is a serious problem or if it is an easy and convenient way to acquire certain products.

On the one hand there are people, especially artists and the big companies who think that piracy is unethical practice and bad because it causes the decrease of their benefits, but in my opinion this is not true. For example in the case of singers, the fact that people can download their music easily helps them to have more public in their concerts. This is how they actually earn money. In addition the prices of movies, CD or software is very high and many times you will are disapointed because the film in the end, is boring or because you only like a few songs of the entire disk.

In conclusion, piracy is comfortable,and for this it will continue to be used by millions of people until market makes progress or until someone finds a way to stop it.
