With all the technology out there today, pirating music is an easy task for many internet users. Personally, I know hundreds of people, including students, who download music illegally off of the web.
Over the past few years or so the recording's industry trade group has been giving students on university campuses the opportunity to come to an agreement before being sued for copyright infringement. From the article a statement says, "the association has already sued about 18,000 computer users nationwide since September 2003" (AP).
I believe what the trade group is doing about the illegal downloading of music is an acceptable way to approach the situation. I know pirating music is illegal, but giving people a warning first is a great way to fix this problem and it should limit the amount of music being pirated. I believe once someone gets a warning they will be less likely to continue downloading music illegally.
