I am johnathan Hundertmark an im going to talk to you about why illegal downloading is wrong. Here is the simple truth, when you download files from sites like lime-wire, frost wire, and mp3 raid, your breaking the law. Generally people don’t think they’re doing anything wrong when they download illegally, but it is just that… illegal. The most common things illegally downloaded are music, videos, and software. All 3 of these things are wrong because they affect many people, cost millions of dollars to the country, and shut down up and coming artists, writers, and actors.

By downloading files onto your computer illegally you could be fined up to 250,000 $ per item and due up to 5 years in jail, seems like theres better ways to spend your life and money. Illegally downloading music affects the entire music industry, not just the artist. Also Programs that give you access to illegal downloading often have plenty of viruses attached to the files you download, and can be very harmful to your computer. Now I propose you with a question, By downloading music for free, you make that music have no value. Why deal with all the risk and danger, for something with no value?

Illegally downloading music is a serious crime, whether people realize it or not. Downloading music illegally can harm various people in the Music Industry and you might not even realize it. When music is downloaded illegally, everyone looses money in the Music Industry. From the recording artists to the sound technicians, everyone looses money from illegal downloading. Billions of people illegally download music everyday. It has been proven that every 4 out of five downloads are illegal. Downloading from these illegal sites, such as, Limewire, Napster, Frostwire and Vongo can harm your computer. Most of these websites carry viruses, so when downloading from these websites your computer is at risk for being infected with viruses. Many illegal downloaders’ computers have crashed because of the viruses from illegal downloading. The fines for illegally downloading music can be anywhere from $750 to $250,00. People can also spend up to 3 years in prison. Repeat offenders can be sentenced up to 6 years in prison. The laws about illegal downloading are stricter in the USA than in any other country. Making copies of an audio file, CD, or any other bought files and distributing them or selling is illegal. Music piracy is selling or distributing any stolen or illegal audio files and is a serious crime. Music piracy has gotten more and more popular and has caused a great impact on the Music industry. There have been lay offs because of the lower income from music purchasing. Musicians have also had to cut down on the materials used for their songs. The penalty for illegally downloading music can differ depending on whether it was for personal or commercial use. Most people think CDs cost too much, even when they’re half priced. It costs a lot to purchase CDs, but its purchasing someone’s talent, something that many people have worked extremely hard on making. When someone downloads music illegally it effects the artist immensely. When record companies loose money because of illegal downloading, they have to cut back, which causes the songs to have less effects.

I am Dustin Williamson and I am going to talk to you about illegally downloaded movies and software. Piracy started with just songs but now it has spread to movies and software. When piracy takes place, it is usually with movies that haven’t even been released on DVD or to the video store. Most people get away with this. Many people do not know that if they get caught for illegal downloading, they can face monetary fines. Most of the times the fines can up go top $750 per download and sometimes even more. Statutory damage awards can go up to $150,000 for copyrighted work. Most of this downloading happens in college dorm rooms. Depending on what you have downloaded, you can face jail time. If you want to download movies legally, you can go to websites like iTunes, where you can get movies for as little as $1.99. If you think you might want to illegally download something, you need to know that if you get caught, it goes on your permanent criminal record, which can be checked by employers, schools, and other interest parties. Pirated software can also contain viruses that could crash you r computer. Software is now being more protected by the FBI and the U.S government to make sure it doesn’t get pirated. The reason they are doing this is because U.S. companies say they are loosing up to $2 billion a year from software pirated in the United States, this is 5 times as much over seas. So if you are thinking about pirating something, know that you could get serious fines if you are caught.
