Xeniya Pak/Copyright laws should be applied in the Internet world/Tuesday 11am



Pak Xeniya

Copyright laws should be applied in the Internet world.

Today everyone can easily download book, music or movie from the internet. It is really convenient to receive some file from the internet rather than go to the shop and pay for it. Thus there are two sides in the internet world: pirates, who illegally own someone's property and people, who use those property. However, people download files not knowing that they violate copyright laws. Because people violate copyrights through downloading and sharing files off the internet, I believe that copyright laws should be strictly applied.

In my opinion, copyright law helps to prevent authors from allowing people to download files illegally. Pirates just give people things that they want to receive: the same product but much cheaper than the original. Imagine the situation that you are a programmer, who spent tremendous amount of time in order to create unique and useful program but someone received this program for free and spread it in the internet earning money. Today there are many people, who want to steal product and make it as their own property. Therefore, to guarantee the originality and prevent authors from illegally ownership a copyright law should be applied.  

 Copyright law is the only way to prevent authors from loss money. People who download files from the internet don't realize the financial loss. Some people may argue that poor people cannot afford to buy legal version of product which is expensive. I understand that those people also want to enjoy listening to music, using convenient program or watching movie, but this is not justify copying or sharing files off the internet. If they receive illegal copy of movie or music, they may become those pirates who steal original files and earn money on it. This action can cause the loss of significant amount of income. Even though copyright violation doesn't cause immediate financial loss; it can still be costly to the authors. Therefore, it is important to prevent them from losing money by applying copyright law.

Many authors face unpleasant situations which lead them to a damaged reputation. For instance, there are people who try to own someone's product and impertinently claim that they are the creators of that product; as a result it causes lawsuit, where original author has to prove his copyrights. However, some people say that those people help authors to promote their products and make it popular even though it may put authors to a damaged reputation, but trial to own property violates authors' rights and put them in a difficult situation. That is why a copyright law is the only option to prevent authors from uneasy situations.

In conclusion, I think that people should take into the importance of copyrights and the consequences that can negatively affect authors. There is no doubt that the illegal situation is not good now, since people neglect laws. Unless copyright law will be applied, the original products will be spread illegally, the authors will lose money and be in an unpleasant situation.
