Today I read an essay in the common place named What’s Yours is Mine. This article talks about copy rights that appear in our daily lives, and how people beak copyright.
When I first came to America, I found a book in the library; its name is Copy Right or Copy Wrong.” It also talks about how to protect copy rights. It seems that in America, copyright is a very serious topic. It is a way to protecting people’s property. Especially for singers and writers, own the copyright means they can make money from their production. As internet’s wildly using, people feels that it is hard to protect their copyright. A lot of stuff can be found online for free, and people like to choose those free stuff. For example, if you want to have a CD, you need to go to the store and pay for the CD, or you can go online, and download a free CD without copyright. Many company tried to protect their copyright. In the last several years, Microsoft decided to use black screen to protect their copyright. User who did not pay for the Windows system would got black screen for one minutes per hour.
In China, I had heard the world “copyright”, but there were very people like to pay for copyright. The production have copyright are more expensive than the fake stuff. A lot of company had to shut down because they cannot make enough money from their productions which they own the copyrights.
