Write a paragraph on moral aspects of downloading films form the internet without paying.
We probably use the internet every day without thinking of the potential social ethical and legal issues. Copyright infringement can occur if we illegally download music, movies ,television shows, books or other media of which we have not paid a downloading fee. Downloading files online is a tough choice for people . They know it is illegal in some cases but people also fight with moral values. In many cultures stealing is not only wrong, its a crime. Downloading music without an artists permission equates to stealing. It's pretty unethical and illegal to download movies that are as such not intended for free distribution over the internet. Pirated films are generally shared over the internet in this way along with music ,books , software and games. Some people argue that since these are not actually physical commodities, trading in them in not illegal. Or that no one is actually getting harmed or the people who visit cinemas visit them anyway and sales do not get affected in anyway . Others say that all these arguments however are not very accurate. Production companies and studios spend a millions of Dollars on these films and stealing their profits will only result in them losing interest in making movies or spending so much money. Even if we were to assume that cinema sales do not get affected, it is safe to say that DVD sales do.
