IS MUSIC PIRACY STEALING?
Nowadays copying and sharing files,downloading music from the internet is a big trend.But is this legal or do people really care about this process that is recently called the ‘piracy’? The article we read was discussing the topic ‘music piracy’ by giving some contrast ideas, research results and different examples.
According to researches in the article,we see that the high percentage of people don’t care about whether the files copyrighted or not.This was actually not surprising for me and some are not even aware of whether they are legal or illegal. The writer argues that this actually doesn’t seem like stealing. I agree with him on this because we might all feel quilty if we steal an item right from a store but internet gives us an intengible working space that we can all access just with a click. We have to admit that we like this bacuse it is easy, cheap and doesn’t really seem wrong.
I also think the same about the litigation fascism alienate the consuming public and we do not want this because it will not benefit the music companies at all.
In the article GM seeds seemed like so out of topic to me but I found it interesting how the writer associated them with the copywriting music download. And actually buying the pattent and of these seeds is kind of related with the topic and this example actually makes the topic a little bit more tangible.
I think that private interest of corporations shouldn’t be this much dominant on technology as the writer said.We are all aware of the growing rate of usage of mp3s and I think ıt would have been nice to had legal access to copies especially for personal use.
I know that for some of the countries (like America) piracy is a delicate topic, but I believe that it will go on anyway legal or illegal. So there is no need to limit the information exchange by exaggareting the piracy as a crime.
