If we will ask different people about piracy, about if he or she himself pirated
music or movies.They probably answer no, they don’t. They enjoy the satisfaction they receive from
buying a new album or movie knowing that they have supported them. Another people would probably say yes, they do see
movies for free, so they really have no need to pirate
movies.
What role
does Internet piracy play in you life? We pirate a
lot. We haven’t bought many movies. Games and computer software we tend to buy but we do pirate from time to time as well.
Why we do piracy? Is it really big amount money of savings or people have another ideas to do so? Somebody would say: "The music industry doesn’t deserve my
money. They make their money on touring with me or without. As movies are concerned, 90% of them are just plain terrible. The
movie industry has pretty much run out of ideas so much that like the
music industry they don’t deserve my money.”
But let's think about this problem from other site.
Word
of mouth has always been the biggest marketing instrument for the industry and
people who I know how download movies, advise the rest of their friends how good that movie is and easy to get
for free. That makes easy to people going to see it at the cinema or to purchasing
it on DVD. In addition many people who we know
who download movies tend to purchase them on DVD when they come out anyway,
that is if the movie was any good.
The thing about piracy is that the quality of the pirated film is usually
not as good as than the real legal DVD movie. I would much rather watch a movie
the way it was meant to be displayed to the world instead of watch it from person
who sneaked a camcorder into a theater. Sure, movie tickets are not really cheap,
but why should they be? When you purchase a movie ticket, you are not just
paying to see a movie, you are paying for the whole movie-going experience, the
kind of experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else. When you download a
pirated movie online for free, you can expect a cheap product and experience in
return.
Yes, I think that Internet Piracy is ethically wrong,but we live in a society that is now basing itself on what the newest generation wants. The newest generation wants to cut corners....plain and simple.I believe this is one reason it's happening so much.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the last statement about the cinema. If you want to watch a movie with all the sound effects and quality that cinema provide, you should pay for the ticket especially if the movie is worth watching.
ReplyDeleteon the other hand, I've never bought an original movie since CDs came out. I would rather watch it for free If am not going to the cinema. I usually wait until the movie comes out on DVD and download it through rapidshare, mediafire, or other websites.
The reason that the music industry is not making so much money is because of the quality of music you get when you get it from a torrent. The music quality sounds the same and no one can tell its been pirated. On the other hand movies you are able to tell because of the video and audio quality of new movies when they first come. People dont like to wait for a Blue-Ray movie quality to be uploaded so they just go ahead and go watch the movie.
ReplyDeleteMonil makes an excellent point. I admit I have watched a lot of pirated films. Mostly due to the fact of being overseas and not having the opportunity to go to the movies to see film on a big screen and enjoy all of the sound effects. As far as the music industry is concerned I agree as well. Today's society has made it extremely easy to go around actually paying for the music. It is wrong, because just how our mother's and father's have had to work for a living, music is how these people chose to make a living. We as a people need to all realize this and support them.
