Piracy

 Piracy is the act of robbery and stealing something from someone.

 In the acient time, there are pirates is group of people have weapon, ride on big ship and attack on other ship on sea, and their purpose is to steal or killing people. Well known as robber of the sea.

That is in long time ago, but now we live in the modern age, when the technology developed more than ever and we can't imagine how far will it go in the future. Computer are now the place where we got rob, more specific is on the internet and now we have hacker who are professional computer users, they know how to know how to use computer than anyone else and therefore they try to steal informations, money, copyright of companies. The most popular hacker group now is Anonymous.

So why piracy are important issues? Imagine that one day when you access to some websites on the Internet, but you don't know it is dangerous site and then one day your computer in the target of hacker, they steal your private data and post it on the Internet how do you feel right now? The musician spend their time and work hard in studio to produce one high quality production, that require lot of work, thinking and creativity, was they agreed to let you go ahead and steal it? Then post it on the Internet to share with everybody. Same with movies that haven't come out in cinema but already was posted on some websites for free to watch, was they able to watch it again and then come to cinema to spend their money for sticket and popcorn? It's like the problem when you are doing homework, then someone steal your notebook and share with other classmate and the what you get at the end. Piracy or stealing in general is not good at all.

What is the solution for this ? 

1. Let the customer decide whether to pay or not. If they decide to not to pay make that product have lowest quality as possible, then they will see the other way will be worth to pay.

2. There are  other way for artist to get money from Internet instead of selling albums like in the past. That is now create channel on youtube like Vevo, the artist was payed for copyright before it was published worldwide to everyone, it will give benefit to both users and artist.

Finally, I just want to say that we need to have use strong and very strict to people who involve in piracy,  even the solutions above still not very strong, just use to get rid of piracy as possible. Piracy cannot be eliminate directly because the hacker are too good they will soon other way to break through any barriers. The only way to stop piracy is to eliminate it motivation.
