Against Internet Piracy

It’s never not legal to download unauthorized music from pirate sites or peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. Examples of P2P file sharing networks that make unauthorized music available for download include: Kazaa, Grokster, WinMX, LimeWire, Bearshare, Aimster, Morpheus, and Gnutella.Y ou can avoid activities that support piracy and hurt the music community. Activites that are illegal can include:
1.     Somebody you don’t know emails you a copy of a copyrighted song. You then email copies of it  to all of your friends.
2.     You make an MP3 copy of a song because the CD you bought expressly permits you to do so. But then you put your MP3 copy on the Internet, using a file-sharing network, so that millions of other file sharers can download it and share it as well.
3.     Even if you don’t illegally share files with others, you join a file-sharing network and download unauthorized copies of all the copyrighted music you want for free from other file sharing members' computers.
4.     You pay a fee to join a file-sharing network that isn’t authorized to distribute or make copies of copyrighted music. Then you download unauthorized copies of all the music you want.
5.     You transfer copyrighted music using an instant messenging (IM) service such as AIM, YahooIM, MSN Messenger or Google Talk.
6.     You use a CD burner to burn copies of music you have downloaded or bought onto blank CDs for all of your friends.

These days, piracy is everywhere. In our phone, PC, television there may be some pirated stuff. This our responsibilities to fight against piracy, and give respect for the creator by buying their products.
