starting from small programs to movies ,music , softwares , games, every e-good has been engulfed by the piracy . whenever we require any digital media ,softwares , e-goods we open the internet and search for a free download site and thus obtain it free of cost . a copyrighted software when bought by any of our friends or relatives is never kept copyrighted and several copies are made and their circulation starts . thats piracy . i would like to site an instant of piracy . well we all visit to one or the either public places like temples , churches , mosques , gurudwaras etc. where we have to open our shoes and then enter . while coming out if see anobody else's shoe more costlier than mine ? what would you do ? steal it? no..ooo ooo . we would not even pickpocket other's belongings .that's stealing . well what do we do when we support piracy ? we steal ....... what's your view regarding piracy

Piracy is - technically - plagarism, as you are copying down another person's exact ideas in the form of computer programs and media word for word, string for string. But what does plagarism matter if there is not a teacher looking over your shoulder to make sure you did the work yourself? ;) Honestly, I'm for the free information movement. Why should we be deprived if it's readily available?
