The title of this post was the question we asked last week in our poll. The result shows that 50% of them thinks that online piracy is beneficial to them, 12% said no and 37% of them thinks that online piracy might be beneficial to them. From the result,we can clearly see that most users seem to agree that online piracy is beneficial to them regardless it's illegal.
Most people of Generation Y are computer literate. This is the reason why online piracy is much more popular and preferred by people nowadays. It's so simple, just get the sources for "free downloads" and with just a few simple clicks you can get what you want. Besides that, downloading from the internet is totally free while you need to pay if you are getting a pirated DVD from outside. The only thing we need to pay is our internet and electricity bills, agree?
Online piracy is more popular because it is harder to trace the person who has committed it, and the authorities are more lenient on the laws imposed for online piracy compared than piracy in real life. For example, you can easily track where your friend bought the pirated DVD from but it's not easy for you to track the original source for a movie that you friend downloaded from the internet because it might have been passed around through hundreds of people.
We should not be abusing the internet to do illegal things that will harm others. Most of the offenders are teenagers and young adults such as students. Although there is a saying that "Sharing is Caring" but we must be careful on what we are sharing. Sharing things that are gained through piracy is definitely not caring.
