Discussion Pirated entertainment

The advantage of paying a supplier such as Apple for legal music downloads is that you have legally downloaded the music so, you have the right to use the music without being accused of illegally downloading music. Also downloading from a supplier such as Apple you can trust what you are downloading is the correct thing and does not contain any viruses. The disadvantages of buying a pirated DVD from a market stall is that the DVD quality will be very bad, there might be people moving around and the sound could be bad. The disadvantages of getting a pirated copy of a new Hollywood blockbuster before its UK release is that, the DVD will not be able to work on any UK DVD player, also you are more likely to be caught for copyrighting. The disadvantage of visiting an illicit music download site is that you IP address could be noted by them which they can send you viruses and messages ect. Widespread of illicit downloading does discourage the funding of new talent because sales would go down due to illegal downloading, and new talent will not make as much money because of illegal downloading.
