Is free fair?

It can be a problem for the movie and music industry that so many people are downloading movies and music illegally on the internet, but I understand why people are doing it. Movies cheap, and so are songs. I know a song easily can cost about three pound on iTunes. I have no idea why a song is so expensive on iTunes when you can hear it for free on Spotify, but on the other way can I not understand how Spotify can do it for free. They have to make money in somehow. And I believe that ads can do it all, of course are some people paying for Spotify premium, but it s like one out of ten. I know the artist behind the song get something in style of 0,01 pound every time their song is getting played. I think it would be fair if people have to pay for Spotify, but if we go back to iTunes, do I think that is unfair a song cost three pound, then do almost request the illegal way. Of course, I I Spotify free user, why should I pay for something, I can it for free? And I also thing is a good thing is free to use, then do all have the opportunity to use it, and not only people who have money. It very nice that Spotify keeps it free, I respect that. Some companies argue that free access is best for the film and music industry in the long run, I have no idea about how work, but if it would work should they keep it free for sure, if it was free wont we have all the problems with illegal downloading, and people will keep download illegal music and songs. I think one of the reasons to why people do it, is because they know that the chance to get catch is so small. If the government put more money in to try to catch people who download movies and music, would people not do it on the same level as it is today. In America alone, are 57 million people, downloading music and movies illegally. It is an extreme high number, and it may destroy the industry in some way. Some people say that, download a movie on the internet is the same as stealing. I ow, it s maybe not wrong. You take something from the internet you should have paid for, so technically are you stealing . I but I think is like stealing shoes from a store, because you are home and press on a bottom.
