2. Pirated goods

 1.In my opinion, pirating product is a natural part of competition, but it is obviously stealing. Many small businesses like to launch highly developed products like major companies'. For the reason, sometimes they try to copy major companies' design or technology.
 Personally, proper copying is okay. For example, there are Apple's Ipad and Samsung's Galaxy tab. Apple insists Samsung pirated their Ipad's design. However, I don't think Samsung pirated Ipad's design, because tablet pc would be shaped like that. Every people can imagine the design!
 On the other hand, there are so many products which is completely same as other products, especially in China. China makes a huge amount of duplicatons. There is no limits. They make pirated music, pirated cosmetics, pirated mobile phones, pirated cars and even pirated streets. It is serious problem because it makes consumers confused and be disappointed. Also, they just copy the design and sell it with cheaper price, so Korean companies get economical problems a lot. Moreover, they don't have a guilty conscience. It can be a global problem. It may not changed in short time, but it must be changed.
2. Especially in Korea, many young people download free musics, movies and dramas illegally. I'm not good at finding free videos so when I need it, I pay some (litte) money for it. Sometimes i felt it's unfair, so i tried to find free ones. Those kind of social phenomenas make people to watch pirated videos and buy some pirated goods. Of course I know that is illigal, but nobody cares.
