When I mention piracy, I am not talking about the standard pirates who go around and yell "argh!" I am talking about the act of illegally downloading music and movies from other people. I have looked into views of how this is threatening to the First Amendment for artists and also who and what the RIAA does. I will explain interesting scenarios that are being proposed which to most people may seem utterly ridiculous. Statistics will prove how dangerous it is towards so many careers. This act of criminization could be considered as plagiarism, or stealing someone else's work. On top of finding out a bunch of fascinating ideas and facts, I have also included a few tidbits of YouTube videos to act against piracy online.
