What if musicians stopped making music? What if directors stopped making movies? What if game developers ceased to exist? If you illegally download your show, songs, and games, you need to legitimately consider these possibilities.

Online Piracy ? Should people be prosecuted for online piracy? I believe people should not be prosecuted, but there should be a consequence. Most people wouldn't agree.

Internet piracy is not a victimless crime. Piracy is a term used to describe the illegal downloading of music, movies, games, and even software online.
