Should Online File Sharing be Strongly Prosecuted?

This is a period of information exploration, more and more creates or inventions easy to share on the

Internet, it is pretty convenience for people, but it is not good for the creators.

So the government really declared some policy that could be protected the creators, but actually the

government not really seriously to look at these things, and then led to many problems about copyright.

But I do not think this problem is big, because it is just about some benefit. If the creator's work was

popular on the Internet, and sharing in everywhere, he really should be happy about that, because it's a

prove that his(her) works was good, so it would be have many people want to get that, and it's

absolutely have someone pay money to the real works, so have a important reason that is “free”, 'don't

pay money” could got that, if it's needs pay money, I believe that the creator's works will not so popular

anymore.

And the question Should Online File Sharing be Strongly Prosecuted?

My answer is no, because it is really hard to stop, if the government have so many time to prosecute the

Internet users, would be better to think about how to improve that benefit of the creator.

Like music, download the free music from website is a easy thing, if a song was download so many

times from people, it was a good thing, because have many people like that, and among these people

definitely would be have some people bought the CD. If the music not good, would not have people

want to download the music, not to mention get the CD.

So I think that online file sharing does not have to strongly prosecuted.
