What are your views on file sharing?
How concerned
are you with the issue of copyright
and piracy?
“Huh? Illegal? No lah, where got illegal?” “Everyone’s doing it!” “Nobody will know!” It’s okay so long its between me and my
friend. “It’s on the internet so it’s free for all,
man.”
Napster got caught up in a lawsuit Because it deprived artists & etc from the
revenue they were supposed to earn
Pirate Bay was fined US$358 million dollars and given a 1 year jail sentence
We oppose file sharing and copyright infringement.
We are concerned of the issue of copyright and piracy.
Because it IS illegal. We’re not respecting the original artist’s
work. Most of you are ignorant about the laws of
copyright.
Yes IT IS ILLEGAL!- Right clicking and saving images on the net and
using them HERE in power point slides is ILLEGAL!- Copying or distributing copyrighted materials like
music and games without permission or payment is ILLEGAL! (PSP Games)
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
Harry Potter 7 Warner Bros Entertainment To prevent pirated copies and illegal files
spreading online that affects the authors and movie makers’ sales.
Music sales have globally dropped exponentially
File sharing websites have sprung up in plague proportions.
Producers and artists would not want to produce media anymore as the industry is no longer as lucrative
File Sharing & copyright infringement – how can that be good?
1.10% or one chapter of a book can be photocopied.
2.Lecture notes and TYS answers (physics4all)3.Piracy of illegal video discs gets you
embroiled in criminal cases where YOU pay the price.
Privacy-invasive software degrades performance on affected systems and in some cases, secretly COMPROMISES A USER’S PRIVACY.
Some files also contain viruses which could crash the entire system
People also post these “ infected” files online for fun. (eg: Baidu)
You may get caught!
We predict, that those shiny 12cm discs are going be obsolete.
Music will be bought off the internet (ITunes, Nokia)
The internet was originally created to survive WWIII
Although it is now used for less ‘noble’ reasons, It is our duty to use it with morale and not abuse
it! It would be a pity if such a GREAT invention
becomes misused for our own selfish interests.
Don’t YOU agree?
