Nowadays people tend to look for easier way, in many aspects and routine of their life. Some might prefer an effortless ‘one-click’ work, and some might be comfortable about their struggles within. “Easy way, or the highway?” a question that would have almost the same answer, which considerably reflects the beholder’s inner side.
Looking aside, it is not a question that leaves a person in hesitation about his or her consciousness towards the role; instead, it offers choices of chances for the person to make a difference in future.
Beneath every risk lies an opportunity. Based on the article “Q&A: Music and file sharing” posted by BBC News: Technology on July 24, 2008, emphasized about file sharing via network through the Internet, which under certain conditions it becomes illegal and the person who involved might face law charges.
The article stated that the growth of file sharing has cut the profits and is ruining the music industry, by which lacking legitimate places to turn to find music had caused online fans migrated to file-sharing networks to get hold of pirated tracks.
According to Wikipedia 2008, file sharing refers to the providing and receiving of digital files over a network, usually following the peer-to-peer (P2P) model, where the files are stored on and served by personal computers of the users. Most people who engage in file sharing on the Internet both provide (upload) files and receive files.
As the degree of seriousness of this matter is increasing, recently Lars Ulrich (picture) of Metallica, a legendary American thrash metal band stood up in contrast. He opines that the exposure and the extreme use of file sharing over pirated music tracks among Metallica fans had taught him the intrinsic value of freedom, after he discovered numerous tribute videos posted by the fans in various Vlogs.
As I view this situation introspectively, the issue of illegal file sharing and copyright infringement over the Internet has opened people’s third eye about a change; freedom in changes.
In digital world, people possess the autonomy of speech, freedom to reach out on the surface with such style and creativity. As media enters the ‘borderless world’, they should concur with the risks and repercussions that yet to come, and start formulizing solution.
