Is File Sharing Alright?

Personally, File sharing to me is a normal way for me to obtain things online. Things such as; music, pictures and documents are some of the many examples of what I get from file sharing. I don’t see anything wrong with the file sharing. It has given many people the chance to obtain files that may not be available in certain countries. An example of this is when someone in Canada wants to try and get something like a music video from Korea. It would be quite impossible to obtain these types of videos which are not physically available here in Canada. File sharing website such as MegaVideo and Youtube allow internet users to see these sites and see this video.

If it was my own work, I would also allow people to share it. In a way, it would allow people to use it as inspiration for one, and perhaps create work of their own. The internet is a big community and things made on the internet should be able to be used by others. One popular thing on Youtube is song covers and remixes of videos. These videos are based off other videos on youtube. If my piece was to be shared by the internet, it would also be able to raise publicity. People have been discovered off Youtube multiple times and allow them to become famous. People with large potential may also be discovered through the internet. Their pieces of art can vary and have their own personal style. It makes them special and one of a kind.

Copyright is copyright. This should not change for any reason. People have the right to copyright their pieces. However, people are also able to disregard this copyright and use it anyways. I believe that the usage of copyright material is okay until a certain extent. It would be okay for people if they only tend to use for personal and non-profitable uses. Once one tries to gain a profit off these materials, it has gone too far.

Below is a music video off youtube of a music video that I quite enjoy of a Korean boy group. Enjoy!
