Many years ago, the government has been starting not only to close the illegal websites for free music downloads but also to arrest those vendors who sell pirated copies of albums. At that time, many free music websites were closed. As for the vendors who sold copy albums in the night markets, they were afraid to be arrested so that they put a can or a container with a sign which read "Put money here." , but the vendors were not there. This scene is very interesting, but we still need to consider why so many people want to get the so-called illegal music. As for me, I think to download music from the Internet should not be illegal. Here are some points of why I support it.
First, in my stance, I think albums charge too high price. One CD costs me three to five hundred dollars. I know there are many processes involved to produce an album, but I believe the cost is not so high as the price they sell to the public.; music corporations claim that their precision instrument to record sound, the salary for the singers and the staff, and the fee of advertisements are expensive, but do they not charge too high for one CD? people have different thoughts toward the question, but in my perspective, I think the high price for each album is the main reason why people do not want to buy it. If I can get free music from the Internet, why do I need to buy an expensive CD? It is unnecessary for me.
Second, although music corporations claim that "trading" pirated albums is illegal because it violates the intellectual property law as well as the copyright, I do not think it is illegal to download music for free. For I think at least some free music websites do not share music for "earning money." To the fullest, that is just someone shares music with another. Through the Internet, we can choose what kinds of songs, therefore we can never buy every album just because of the only favorite song in it. To buy a CD is unnecessary for customers. As a result, I think to download music from the Internet is needed, and it should not be illegal.
Everyone must know there are still some websites for which we can download free music such as "Foxy" or "Baidu," etc. Have you ever noticed that these websites are located in China? You can identify it because of the simplified character the sites use. It seems the Chinese authority allows their websites to provide the download points, but Taiwan authority does not. The government also uses the copyright law to force most free musical websites to shut down. They say this is illegal and the public should have the right concepts. Yet I think although Taiwan authority does not allow people to reach the Taiwan free music websites, people can just turn to The Chinese websites. The Internet is unlimited; we can go on to websites of many countries.
Actually the word of "free" in the title has two meanings. One is costing nothing, and the other is no boundary. No doubt that is a pun. I also have my idols, but I download their songs from the Internet because their albums are too expensive for me. I know we need to respect people's intellectual property rights, but just like many people think, downloading free music from China websites is still thriving among the public.as the result, it is not totally our fault. Instead, it is time for the music corporations to think about the reasons why the public prefer downloading music rather than buying an album -- even the singer is their most favorite one. To via the Internet to do things has been a tendency. With better technologies, more and more people will download music from the Internet in the future.
