The impact of piracy in the global market

Piracy is destroying the music industry which has a major influence on the music industry’s economic growth. People are committing this crime to put food on the table and to support their families. This does not mean that they can take other people’s products and make them their own. Musicians are going all out to release hot and powerful music albums so that the messages reaches through the consumers or the target public. People are aware of this crime but they still tend to support the people who commit this crime.

Purchasing CD’s and DVD’s from local music stores can be very expensive but that shall not be a lame excuse for committing crime. People are coping and selling CD’s at a low price of R10,00 forgetting that someone worked very hard to get the album on track and produced. Just imagine if the original copies where sold at a low price such as R10,00 don’t you think that it would affect the music industry’s economy? And it would also affect the musicians as a whole. This is unfair technology was not invented to be used for committing crime but was invented so that we can communicate globally.

Piracy is killing the raw talent of people like Zahara, Zonke, Lira, Kurt and many other musicians who are passionate about the industry. Why can’t we just buy music? Music producers and companies asked. Why can’t we just start a new wave of total pride in original music? (http://www.gpjobs.co.za/?p=223)

While people are terrified of global warming, I am terrified of the piracy that has the potential to kill the music industry – what a sad world that will be. (http://www.gpjobs.co.za/?p=223)
