Discusion ~ Pirated Entertainment

An advantage of legally paying Apple for a music download would be, the security that it gives, knowing you haven’t committed an illegal act. That and what you are paying for is quality assured, so you know what your getting is of best quality.

The disadvantage of buying a pirated DVD would be that, you lose any consumer rights you had before, so you can’t return it if it’s not even the right film, etc.

The main disadvantage of downloading a pirate of the latest blockbusters are that, the quality is going to be rubbish, it might not even be in your language, it could drop in and out of the film, and that it will probably just frustrate you to the point, that you go and see it in the cinema anyway.

The disadvantage of visiting illicit music download sites are that, they also don’t need to worry about quality assurance so you may not get what you try to download or it may be of very bad quality, some of these sites even charge a fee to use them.

I think that yes illicit downloading does discourage the funding of new talent, mainly because the investors need to make their money back, and that means the sales of singles and albums, and if people would rather download them for free, then making that money back isn’t going to happen.
