Artist in the world should deserve more respect in related to their work. Produce movies and songs cost money and if people do not pay for it musician could no produce music any more. When I think about copyrighted production I think in a individual person that can out with a great idea and make a be effort in order to make it idea truth. If people continuing download music and movies without pay for the world of the entertaining will disappears because it does not will have enough monee to susten themselves. In order to have new music and movies frequently people should put a grain of sand to the cause. I do not why people do not want to pay for something they think is good and wan to enjoy it. when I go to the movie I pay for my ticket whit pleasure because I know that my payment will contribute to produce more movies and I will always have movies to see and also I good reason to go out.
