Is downloading theft?
Downloading music, movies and other creations in digital form is one of the most discussed issues today. Some people say that downloading from internet is a daylight thievery, while the others say that it is totally normal to do so.
On one hand, if no one was going to pay for music or films, it would very soon put an end to film and music industry. Artists and actors are doing it for money, and when we download a film or music album, we are actually stealing the money from them. People wouldn’t normally steal the CD or DVD in the shop, but they are actually doing the same with only one difference: they are using internet, where they have total anonymity.
While it is true to say that people are stealing by illegally downloading, it is also true that films and music are sometimes much overvalued. And a very big part of this sum is consumed by the production companies and retailers, so they don’t go to the artists themselves, but only to the companies between them and the customer. Because of this fact, if someone downloads music and films, he/she is not doing much harm to the artists themselves. Thus downloading is in fact to some extent tolerable.
All in all, I don’t see any way how illegal downloading can be stopped and yes, it is theft, but it is not doing much harm to any company, nor any artist or actor. Everyone who illegally downloads should be aware that he/she is a criminal, though.
