What is “piracy”?
According to a common misconception by the mainstream press, the term “piracy” refers to people not actually downloading copyrighted music, but simply “breaking in” or “ticking a few buttons” on an internet-connected computer.
The term “piracy” only occurs in Internet forums and other online forums.
If the words “piracy” or “ticking a few buttons” are used to mean you’re not actually doing anything to harm or harm the public, then it’s really a lot harder to find “ticking a few buttons” than you would think. (For a comprehensive introduction, check out my blog for more details.) If you get a message “This song is illegal, you are not involved” from someone who is really into your music downloading, and is trying to exploit some personal gain from your song, then you know who to contact. Of course, there is nothing against downloading a song from someone that is trying to get at what you’ve done. But if the copyright owner (meaning: the copyright owner and person authorized to give it to you) makes you stop downloading copyrighted music, then just because your name and photo are on every song you put on the Internet, it doesn’t mean that you are doing anything wrong in any way. If the copyright owner makes you stop listening to your copyrighted music, which is very rare (or even in your case, common place), then the person is actually infringing on other people’s rights, and it’s very hard to identify a violation of the copyright on your copyright.
It seems to me that the only real real solution to this problem is to try to protect your personal right of choice that I had never considered, as well as your right to the world, so far as I do believe in the “right” (and my friend Jodi’s book, The Intellectual Property Rights of People, is an excellent illustration of that. In this essay I’ll discuss some possible solutions to the problem).
The real solution is by law. Most laws on copyright use in general prohibit “breaking in or going unpunished”. In this case, you may be able to bring a lawsuit by using the law. But “copyright infringement” may be a legal action for doing a “good” job, or otherwise for infringing upon a person’s rights. The way to solve this is by banning those who do nothing wrong, because the law is written to prohibit “infringement of real or alleged copyright.”
How to Make sure you’re aware of this rule
The easiest way to set up your own legal rights (including your right to privacy) is to contact your copyright attorney, as I mentioned earlier, when I spoke with him about copyright infringement. There is a small website listed below on the Copyright Infringement Online Network.
The first thing you should do is get an attorney to talk to
The reason why (Delete ” the reason why” and begin your sentence with Music…because; the reason why and because sound repetitive) music piracy should not be tolerated is (delete is) because people in this world do not realize the huge negative impact that it has on the music industry. I know that everyone thinks, “Well they are rich and Im only taking one song” or “I dont want to buy the whole CD for only a few songs”. Pirated products are poorly manufactured and dont have the sound quality and [delete “and” here” ]etc. that come along with the original work. According to Riaa.com, “Each year, the industry loses about $4.2 billion to piracy worldwide — “we estimate we lose millions of dollars a day to all forms of piracy.”
When you pirate a movie for an example, you are taking money away from the production company as well as the actors/actresss (the word, actresses, is the plural; same word with an apostrophe s indicates possessive which is not what you really mean here). When that happens, they dont have enough money to cover the costs of the production of the movie. This in return causes that production company to produce fewer movies, or make movies at a lower quality. This takes from our entertainment. In Korea and Japan, they have thousands of vendors on the street selling movies that just came out in the states to the movie theaters.
There are four specific categories of music piracy. They are pirate recordings, counterfeit recordings, bootleg recording, and online piracy. Pirate recordings are the unauthorized duplication of only the sound of legitimate recordings, as opposed to all the packaging, i.e. the original art, label, title, sequencing, combination of titles etc. This includes mixed tapes and compilation CDs featuring one or more artists. Counterfeit recordings are unauthorized recordings of the prerecorded sound as well as the unauthorized duplication of original artwork, label, trademark and packaging. Bootleg recordings (or underground recordings) are the unauthorized recordings of live concerts, or musical broadcasts on radio or television. Online piracy is the unauthorized uploading of a copyrighted sound recording and making it available to the public, or downloading a sound recording from an Internet site, even if the recording isnt resold. Online piracy may now also include certain uses of “streaming” technologies from the Internet.
Online piracy has to be the most common type of piracy. Its so easy to access and there are so many programs out there to help you. Some prime examples of peer-to-peer network software are, Kazaa,
