Pirating has grown alot, and is being done everywhere. I think that alot of programs like LimeWire, Ares, and Napster are in probably everyones computers using it to download songs, games, movies, and more. Also, alot of stores are selling alot of bootleg items and that it is breaking the law, even though there is a warning in the beginning of each videos, people still do it. There is a possibility that you can get caught and can be charged for having bootlegs.
I cannot lie, I am guilty, i do download songs off of filesharing programs, but i know I am not the only one who does it. and i know that Pirating has its impacts of some major companies, usually the companies that are in the media business, since people are downloading more and more the companies are not getting any profits from their products. So i wouldn't want to be in that business right now, even though alot of celebrities and other people are still getting money but they have to find it through other ways like making clothes or perfume lines or something like that.
So, i think that pirating isn't really right, maybe i should stop, and instead go out and start buying CDs again from Music stores, that'll take alot of sacrifice for me, i would have to actually go out of the comfort of my own home and earn more money to get the latest songs in artist CDs, or DVDs.

That's very true Paulene. Why would anybody go out and buy CD's when they can download the whole album for free right there? Oh, that's right. It's the right thing to do.
Downloading is so convenient and although it's illegal, it's not really enforced. So, nobody stops doing it.
And, don't you think celebrities already have enough money? Most get tangled in their wealth. They use the money for self-indulgence. By illegally downloading, we're not exactly impairing them from making a living. They make more than enough, even with us pirating and all.
Plus, I bet you police officers do it too.
Paulene, I agree with you. Even though everyone downloads music, I don't think it's the right thing tho do. If we just want something, we need to buy it with our own money. Downloading it off the internet is basically just like stealing. Even though downloading is convenient, it's illegal! ! We should treat others the same way we want to be treated. So, if I don't want stuff stolen from us, I guess I shouldn't download stuff that doesn't belong to me. So I think I should stop downloading music from now on... or at least try to
