As part of my media course, I have to be able to argue for and against different things, even if i don’t agree with it. By doing this, it shows that i can research using the internet to find out different poeples views on life.
Today, I’ve done research on piracy. I’m fighting for it. I can’t say i personally agree on things I’ve found, but its true. Some of the things that i have put are also just common sense.
By doing this, i can now see that milloins, maybe even billoins are lost each year just due to piracy.

These are just a few reasons as to why piracy is okay, and should be allowed:

• It also saves time, and saves you a trip to the cinema, or between £10-£20 for the actual DVD itself.
• People that buy the DVD’s should be able to lend, and watch with other people that haven’t paid for the DVD. This prospect is silly, as you have brought the DVD, and its rights.
• Someone might not want to spend their money on seeing something they might not actually enjoy, therefore wasting their money. Downloading allows them to watch the film to see if they enjoy it, then paying the full price to either see it at the cinema, or buy it on DVD.
• The money that is made during most film productions is past millions – losing out on some of that is hardly that bad. Film makers should put this into their budget, as they know that film piracy is going to happen somewhere along the lines of the film being released.
• It saves money for the viewer by downloading it on the internet.Peer reviewed by Abigail Baker
