The advent of the Internet has made the sharing of information so much easier. This includes digital information like music and movies. Many people have taken advantage of this to share music and video without paying for it.
Is this appropriate, let alone legal? What should we be doing to educate our kids in this matter? Is it even possible to stop? Should we care?
We already pay for everything.. why cant they just give us something for free!! Not every household has a credit card to be paying for stuff online.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is not legal. But if we pay, or are made to pay it's only making the rich get richer... Everyone else is doing it and it would be very hard ot stop. I guess if they did start charging most people would stop using.
ReplyDeleteWe can just listen to it on the radio anyway, we can just watch it on their youtube channel anyway. Geez its not like we in the store stealing cds....
ReplyDeleteWow, one can make an argument that if they want to share files they can. The Federal government would love a way to regulate this and tax it. The internet in still young and still has the wild west feeling to this. Enjoy the file sharing P2P because I can see this disappearing over time as technology changes and the music industry finds a way to lock the music files and you need a purchase the unlock codes of your music files, but that is way out there thinking...lol
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I never really thought about it being legal or not. Just figured it was ok.
ReplyDeleteI agree with MueyTy. We pay for the cd's and like it was said radio we listen to it anyways, plus who ever has the satelite radios has to pay for it to work. I'm sure that downloading songs can't be the end of the world. Artists make more then enough money anyways.! haha
