Discussion Pirated Entertainment

The advantages of paying a supplier such as Apple for legal music download is that you get good file quality like ACC, you are also free from spyware and viruses. The song is quick to download and you can then burn it to a CD or place right away on your ipod to listen to, you also can listen to it right away from iTunes. The disadvantages of buying a pirate DVD from a market stall is that the DVD may be blank with nothing on it or the quality is very bad so you cant even see the picture. The disadvantages of getting a pirate download of the latest Hollywood blockbuster before the UK release are the file may not be the right movie. The movie file may be infected with a virus and the picture quality may be very bad. The disadvantages of visiting an illict music download site are you might get caught downloading on there. The files may be fake and full of viruses and usally the songs are blank so if they charge for the downloads you may loose money or have you details stolen. I dont think that widespread illicit downloading discourages the funding for new talent because the music artists are still making money even with the illicit downloads going on and many artist have brought out free songs to combat the downloadings which makes them more famous.
