Movie and Music Piracy 電影和音樂盜版

I am writing to express my view on the movie and music piracy. Last year, the Hong Kong Government convicted a person of infringing copyright successfully, who uploaded copyrighted movies to his server and allowed other users to download them. For this incident, I am highly disappointed of the Internet user because they infringed the effort that the copyright owner paid. It is morally wrong to upload or download the piracy music and videos illegally. In addition, this phenomenon means the Hong Kong's intellectual property is being exploited. If this phenomenon continues, it is believed that Hong Kong will not have good music or video anymore.

According to a research from some Universities in Hong Kong, it was found that the different age groups had different reasons of the download or upload the piracy music or videos. The research is divided into two age groups to carry out, a group of teenagers and a group of adults. The research found the reason of most teenagers download or upload the piracy music and videos is that they lack of money and resources. On account of their process of studying, they undoubtedly lack of money and resources to purchase the expensive original CDs or movies. Therefore, the only way they can enjoy the music or videos is to download them from the internet. And for the adults group, the reason is convenient. Nowadays, downloading materials from the internet is very convenient. In addition to the huge resources from the internet, the download time is just for a moment. Therefore, these advantages attracted them to download the piracy music or videos from the internet. They would not go to the store for the original CDs or movies.

In this changing society, many citizens are being turned into criminals simply because of the illegal uploading or downloading. As a consequence, the regulations need to be tightening up. And the Government needs to strengthen the law enforcement to crack down on this kind of Internet crimes. For example, formulate new laws to limit the illegal uploading or downloading behavior. Also, the education is significant. No matter how strict the regulation is, if the students are lack of this kind of knowledge, it will surely become a vicious cycle. The criminals will continuously appear in the coming future.

To summaries, if the Government still doesn’t face to this problem, the intellectual property will be disappeared in Hong Kong. All creativity companies will be closed or moved to other countries because of the illegal downloading or uploading. So, I earnestly request the Hong Kong Government to solve this problem immediately.

Yours faithfully,

Philip

親愛的編輯，

我想在電影和音樂盜版方面表達我的觀點。去年，香港政府成功地對侵犯著作權(quán)的，盜版電影版權(quán)的，允許其他用戶進行下載的人進行了定罪。對于這一事件，我非常失望，因為他們侵犯互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶的努力，版權(quán)所有者的付出。這是道德上錯誤的上傳或下載盜版音樂和視頻非法。此外，這種現(xiàn)象意味著香港的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)被利用。如果這種現(xiàn)象持續(xù)下去，相信香港會不會有好的音樂或視頻了。

根據(jù)在香港的一些大學(xué)的研究，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，不同年齡組有不同的原因或上傳下載盜版音樂或視頻。本研究分為兩個年齡組進行，一組青少年組和成人組。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)原因大多數(shù)青少年的上傳或下載盜版音樂和視頻是他們?nèi)狈Y金和資源。他們在學(xué)習(xí)的過程，他們無疑是缺乏資金和資源購買昂貴的正版電影。因此，他們可以享受音樂或視頻的唯一途徑是從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上下載。在成人組，原因是方便。如今，從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上下載資料非常方便。除了巨大的資源來自互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，下載時間只是片刻。因此，這些優(yōu)勢吸引了他們從網(wǎng)上下載盜版音樂或視頻。他們不會去商店買正版或電影。

在這個不斷變化的社會，許多市民正在變成罪犯只是因為非法上傳或下載。作為一個結(jié)果，規(guī)定需要抓緊。政府需要加強執(zhí)法，打擊這類網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪。例如，制定新的法律來限制非法上傳或下載行為。同時，教育是重要的。無論多么嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定，如果學(xué)生有這種知識的缺乏，它必將成為一種惡性循環(huán)。犯罪分子將不斷出現(xiàn)在即將到來的未來。

總結(jié)，如果政府仍然不面對這個問題，知識產(chǎn)權(quán)將在香港消失。因為非法下載或上傳的原因，所有的創(chuàng)意公司將關(guān)閉或搬遷到其他國家。因此，我懇請香港政府立即解決這個問題。

你的忠實的，

菲利普
