Limiting Illegal Sharing and Downloading
Nowadays illegal sharing and downloading of many different types of media have become very common. Although very illegal people seem to disregard the law and fill their libraries with pirated entertainment. To combat this major issue i propose three different approaches. First, allow sharing of all media after and make it the producer of the piece to hire private consultants to police the internet and fine individuals stealing works by this individual. This will make it up to the person who created the work to choose if they would like to stop their music from being shared. This may also increase the numbers of hard copies sold in stores. Next, i propose we pay internet providers to specifically target copyrights to protect individuals and corporations. These internet providers have the best chance of providing the most efficient services and stand the best chance to help combat this issue. Lastly, we can develop specific programs to protect specific works. similar to every product having a bar code this would provide either a virus or some sort of fine to individuals who steal entertainment. They already do this with images and watermarks on the computer to prevent being re-used. Although there are lots of aspects that goes into each of these unique plans i believe after implementation and refinement they can begin to make change. I know personally i illegally download music because i know there will be little to no repercussion. If people start to feel and see these repercussions then there will be way less piracy in the world.
