Media Piracy
For our research project my group decided on the topic of media piracy.Media piracy is basically illegal downloading or selling of unauthorized copyrighted material. I think you had us choose a topic this way because it forced us to decide what subjects were good enough for a good research paper. You taught us that topics that are too broad cant be used as well as topics that are too narrow. After doing some pre searching, the most interesting aspect to me is the fact that media piracy is illegal but so many people continue to commit this crime. Since illegal downloading can be done so easily from home, it makes it hard for law enforcement to convict ever person. In a sense they just gave up. The produces and artists continue to loose money while countless people are enjoying free media.

I agree with media piracy being a good research topic because it is common throughout the world. People are downloading countless amounts of songs, movies, etc. without paying for them and I am guilty of also doing that. But just because it’s so easy to download does not mean it is wrong because a lot of these producers and artists are losing money because of it.
