Mid-term (respond to classmate's post)

Respond to Kate B of Power to The People

It was a big challenge to the entertainment business when Napster first show up. People start to thought that free download media is a must and to pay and buy them from retailer or to pay and watch a movie is a lame thing to do. The worst thing is that they never thought of they are stealing. Later on, companies came out that very effective strategy,which audience can still enjoy free download but with all the annoying ad interrupting, unless you pay for the service. It seems really working at first, but not long later, as BT and Foxy came out, people start to leave those legal download site to the illegal ones. To download movie and music is obviously illegal from BT and Foxy because it is stealing. However, it is hard for the government to really do something about it since there is many billion of user is uploading and download in every second and every where on the earth.
