pirated entertainment.

the advantage of buying official music from a server such as apple. is that you are legally purchasing the song and you havnt got to worry about facing a punishment. you arent breaking the law and you know the songs will be of high quality. you may also get offers from the company if you continue to purchase songs from them. downloading music from servers such as limewire runs a risk of being punished for illegal useage of a product.

the disadvantages of buying a pirate DVD from a market stall is that you will never experiance the cinema quality, or the official product quality. depending on how the DVD has been pirated it will be faulty in many ways. for example, if the DVD has been recordered at the cinema then the picture will not be very clear, also you will have people infront of you moving about so you will occasionally get a black blur in your film. However if the Film has been downloaded off the internet then the picture will be of very bad quality, also you face the risk of inprisonment for illagal copyright. even if you didnt download it.

the disadvantage of downloading a hollywood film before its UK release is that you wont get the big fuss about it when it is released in the UK. you wont be interested in going out with your friends to watch it in the cinema because you have already seen it, meaning you will have a lesser experiance than your friends. and they will talk more about it and the experiance of the downloaded copy will not be as good as the real thing.

the disadvantage of visiting an illicit download website is that its illegal and you are abusing the right to listen to that song. many artists like their songs to be downloaded because of the 40top songs. however the producers and big companies who sell the product would rather you buy them. now that the download industry has increased massively. theres no point in trying to disprove the fact that CD sales have decreased dramatically. more and more people are downloading music rather than buying it. this has put a stubb in the market. however i disagree that it has discouraged the funding of new talent because no matter how good they are. as long as the public notice them they will still be recognised and signed bigger and better record labels.
