I had reviewed the post ‘UK to get tough with illegal downloader’. These days, people are always downloading copyrighted works like software, music, movies and games. The downloading underground for movies continues to grow. Common knowledge says that downloading copyrighted material is illegal and unethical.
Peer to peer file sharing programs, the most common method of music downloading today, are easily accessible and blur the line between copyright and open source and free material. So, downloader has no way of knowing what music is legal and what is copyrighted. It is practically impossible to enforce a sanction against the downloader.
Many young people see unauthorized music, movies and games are harmless and don’t fully understand its consequences. Illegal downloading presents a serious issue on entertainment industry and can be lead to less earning to the industry every year. By changing the people's behavior could be a welcome boost to the music industry which is going through some very troubled times. Illegal downloads could have negative consequences for your company’s computer. For example, if you use pirated software on your company's computer, the company may be held liable. Malware could be installed on you PC without your knowledge or explicit consent or it could be bundled with a program you intend to download.
UK government is working on a new law to have this illegal downloader's internet connection to be cut off. Under the new proposed new law, action will be taken against the users who use their account to access pirated material by the internet services provider. By this way, illegal downloading can be reduced.
