http://technotropis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/software-piracy.jpgPiracy is an illegal break of copyrights. Today, piracy is very popular and almost everyone downloads songs, movies and games illegally. One of the reasons for this popularity is that downloading anything is easier than ever with the Internet. Also, downloading songs and movies is very accessible and free. Unlike buying them legally, what you need to go to a store and to pay for the movie/song/game.  I am against piracy.

Piracy is illegal. if you download songs from the Internet you are considered criminals. According to the law, downloading songs illegally is the same as stealing! In Israel breaking this law can get you either 5 years in prison or  thousands of NI'S' fine.

If you like your favorite singer - buy his songs, because when you don't buy songs but download them, the singer doesn't get his money and can't release more songs.

In conclusion, piracy is a bad thing, which is considered a violation of the law and harms people. Therefore in my opinion, piracy has to be forbidden drastically. I suggest that the law against piracy will be enforced(gr.) more severely than it is, until piracy will lose its popularity.
