Piracy today is a big issue that can be used as an easy debatable. Who is at fault the seller, the Internet sites, or the downloader? Today many people illegally pirate software, music, books and so forth, but I feel that the companies that own the websites from this illegal downloads is at fault since logistically they are gaining from the situation more than anything, they're capable of stealing(personal data), advertising and selling advertisement to legit sites, but from what I've learned in 401 comp & society at WSU Tri-cities campus spring 2013, is that record companies are cracking down on citizens for illegally downloading. A mother in Tri-cities area got a criminal lawsuit against her for over $100,000.00 for her daughter who is a minor at the time downloading hundreds of free songs through the Internet. This is a major issue and everyone has personal opinions on it but I feel that they have helped the situation with iTunes availability. Now people are able to buy a song here and their more affordable that downloading issues may decrease if they haven't already.
