is free fair?

“Media piracy,” Media piracy is very common today, a lot of young teenagers download free music and

films that they should have paid for. If you have downloaded quite a lot music or films, the companies can sue you and you can be standing in debt for the rest of your life.

The company that sells the music or the films are losing their money because you are downloading it free from an illegal website, that also is most likely to contain virus that’s meanwhile is being downloaded on your computer. However, many people say that downloading illegally is the same as stealing, I personally think that’s it is the same because you take something that doesn’t belong to you, which is wrong in any possible way. I have never downloaded any music or films in any form for illegality.

Studies show that 57 million Americans download music illegally, that’s is a numerous amount of people which is a way to high number, I a believe that’s is a thing that should be taken more seriously. It also shows that one in three regular music and films buyers also download illegally. I you believe that you can save a little money on that area you are wrong you just get a ticket on 22,500 dollars for each song and film that you download. A college student had illegally downloaded 30 songs and he had to pay 22,500 dollars for each one out of the 30 songs, which I believe is a fair price, I think you even could raise the fine, downloading stuff that’s should have been purchased, it´s a very bad thing to do. even though sometimes song and films unavailable to buy because it may have gone out of production you still shouldn't download it for free on a piracy and virus packed website.
