File Sharing

Torrenting

Looking at file sharing (peer to peer) P2P this has the same principle towards the copy Right Law. As much as we know it is Illegal to download and is thrown upon, yet we all still do it in some shape or form. A good example that i can give is, say like i saw a picture and i took a picture of that picture, that would still fall under the Copy Right Law, yet the quality and detail may not be the same. Pixelating    the image. In some sense that might then make it my own image as it may alter towards the original.

The question is, where do we draw the line?

So many torrenting sites are being taken off by the government and yet there is still away to access it. Im not saying i know how, but there are ways around this. A good example i can give is Pirate Bay.
As they were originally based in the USA, the whole site was shut down. This was no stopping them. What they did instead was to move to a country that didn't really care about the Copy Right Law and then branch out from there.

There is only a numerous ways around this that can stop people accessing these sites yet there is always a way around things. This is where i say again, where do we draw the line?

How is it not morally wrong?

I believe that file sharing is not wrong as it may help spread and help acknowledge the artists work towards the audience. This may help expanding there profits rather than making it less.

Even though Torrernting sites such as Pirate bay or Kickass torrents are not funded by the government, the profit to hold each of the torrenting sites up all come from shares and advertisements as well as its customers.

Many of my friends torrent and and go against the copy right law, I found that when you go to a party or a club even the DJ sometimes has music that he hasn't paid for and had illegally downloaded from torrent sites. Everyone does it now a days and its something that is becoming of a trend.

I don't think it hurts anyone as it has its negative and its positive side.
