When Jason Hardin, Manager of Access Services, came and gave a lecture to our class we learned many new things about copyright laws. Many people, young and old, download music illegally thinking that it is not a big deal. Many people think that it is fine as long as they buy some music and illegally download other music. The truth is though, that any downloading where you do not purchase the music is illegal. It is not fair to the person who created and published this music for people to just download it all for free when they could be making a good profit off of it. Ultimately most copyright comes down to money and the money that the creator and publisher could possibly be losing.
My personal stance on copyright is that we definitely shouldn't do it. It is illegal and completely wrong to steal, so why would we download? Because, it is ultimately stealing as well.
