Last Questions and Comments

My friend Emma asked me whether or not it is illegal to buy a CD from a friend.  After a few days of research, Emma, I was finally able to find an answer for you.  If the person who is selling the CD still has any of the files on their computer, music device (MP3, iPod, etc.), or an illegal copy of the CD, then it is illegal for them to sell it.  If the person gets rid of all of the files before selling the original copy, then it is legal (about.com).

In reality, I know that people aren't going to stop downloading music right away.  I read the facts multiple times before I finally pulled myself away from the addicting act of piracy.  My goal though is to get people thinking about the consequences of illegally downloading music.  I want to raise awareness on this topic by giving facts, which I feel that I have provided a fair amount of information. If anyone has anymore questions or comments for me, then feel free to post them on here, and I will do my best to answer them.

My friends and classmates, I leave you with this: are you willing to take the risks of hefty fines and computer viruses, or are you ready to step up and start following the law?  What do you guys think it is going to take to get people to stop pirating music?  Finally, are you willing to spread the anti-piracy word to make the world a better place?
