The Main Thing

First of all, what is Piracy ?

Piracy is products that are illegal. It is against the law of every country around the world. In our country Malaysia, without actually counting how many things that are around us, 68% of it are pirated goods. Why?

Supporting Factors as shown below ( From the article by Audrey Lim posted on http://lovepiracy.blogspot.com/2007/09/piracy-good-or-bad-thing.html ) :

• Affordable and cheap price

• Extra scenes

• Speedy movies

• Convenience

• Peace of mind

But then, we should obey the law by applying Utilitarianism, one of the moral value where we have to do something to make the world a better place. For example, without piracy, there will be no more black market around. Rightful owners will be able to have more confident to play their role in bring more products to people. Having this morality will bring good consequences and not having good intentions too.

Having piracy around us will bring disadvantages to us too. Such as,

1. stealing from the rightful owner ( like mentioned above )
2. cheating them off their royalties and hard work
3. original product in markets will be avoided

So, if we want to make a better world, why don't we cooperate and not to vow towards piracy? Together we buy original products! Have the same good quality together! And many more too! Right ?
