*Why copyright violations are serious problem?

Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Major entertainment companies are losing millions and billions or money due to these copyright violations. More people are turning to online pirated goods instead of buying legitimately. These companies who are losing their profits are not happy about this problem. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. One advantage is that pirated download saves you a lot of money. You wouldn't have to spend any money downloading these stuffs. Another advantage is that you can mass download it or download just some parts of it. For example if I wanted to listen to only one song of an album I can just download it off the internet for free, I wouldn't have to buy the real Cd which costs quite a lot of money and listen to only one song. Most artists today sell their Cd's for a high price but the qualities of their songs are not so high plus one Cd usually contains only 5 to 8 tracks. Comparing with the old times, one Cd contains about 15 to 20 tracks and it would still cost less and the songs do have good quality. An issue to this is that it is illegal. Downloading pirated goods are not so different from shoplifting or stealing. These goods have owners which the owners are willing to sell them but we who download them illegally are just taking them for granted. Another issue is that if this continues then the companies will not make as much many as before. This of course would affect the artists, celebrities, directors etc., directly. It can cause problems with jobs. If those people do not make money, then there would be no jobs. There are many jobs in the entertainment business which can be destroyed by this issue. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. One possible solution is to make it legal to download pirated goods. It may be the best solution possible at this moment. Many people are agreeing that it should be legal when it comes to downloading pirated goods. The enterta

Why might smart phones be costly? Explain two possible solutions. all Nov 23 Tik

Smart phones could be costly because it's download, upload and connect to the network almost all the time. People that use smart phones and don't have good deals or promotions,and people use data more than they think, so the phone company can cost the data that we download, upload with the network, and smart phones can do many thing that use a lot of data and it will cost a lot of money, for example sending 10 photos it's take 10MBand watch video on youtube it will take 15MB per video, etc. In this case the solutions are that users should make sure that they get the right deal or promotion, that they won't get a big bill in the end of the month. Secondly, there are people that use unlimit promotion, but every deal have a gap, so the phone company should tell their customers, or send the users a messages to warning them that they used data more than the deal they got.
