Blog Post # 3- To share or not to share

1.  1. What is your personal opinion towards file sharing?  Is it right or wrong? Please explain.

File sharing... hmm, I usually thank the people who share the things I need. (Not literally of course.)   These things would be like my k-pop music, manga, pictures and maybe some other things I can't seem to remember right now. It is wrong, but I still do it. It is because I don't actually have the money to legally buy the songs and the manga. I still do it because those are the things I love. It is wrong because of copyright. I mean, we have laws about copyright, so it doesn't give us the right to disobey it right now. 

2.  If you produced your own piece of art/song/movie, would you hold the same opinion?

If I produced my own piece of art/song/movie, I know things would be different. It is because I know what it feels like when you want something that you can never reach. However if it is possible, even if I lose money out of it, I want to consider the feelings of others (if they really appreciate it). In fact, I probably want it to be free because of all the limits that surround buying songs online and actually buying them. 


3.  Do you feel it is morally acceptable to download copyrighted material if it is only intended for personal use?

I mean like, if everyone did that then the artists that produce music wouldn't really get much profit in return. I think it is acceptable but even still, if you had the song that your friend really wanted, you would give it to them. Maybe a friend of the friend also really loved it too and also wanted it, it would be from one to two, two to four, four to many, many others. This is a difficult question because I think it all just depends on who's work it is, and their idea of downloading copyrighted material.
