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.
I agree with your last sentence, Hailie, but SHOULD people care? Is something not wrong because of peoples' opinions?
답글삭제I agree with you overall. The Koreans' attitude towards the pirated goods especially like music or movies got changed enormously. A few years ago we could listen to almost music putting them in our MP3 for free but nowadays we are not allowed. I can hardly find websites that we can download music without paying. Of course, some sites offer a chance to get a small amount of points when we sign in their sites for the first time. It's not enough, though.
답글삭제As a result, you think the most important thing which should be considered is the scale of some object when people do copy and download illegally? Well.. I think you didn't mean that exactly.
답글삭제I agree with you.. almost.
China company's behavior isn't right, but I also do illegal behavior which makes me being copycat. It's too difficult problem...
I agree with your opinion.We know that download contents illegally in the internet is wrong behavior, but it is hard to overcome the temtation like to gey the contents without paying fee.
답글삭제You are right, Hailie!
답글삭제All Koreans don't feel guilty when they download several music or videos. It's very serious problem.
Tablet pc would be shaped like Apple I-pad.
답글삭제Yes you right.kk
Apple is a strange company.
Umm. The problem that people dont feel guilty is serious, but I think It's not changed because there aren't strong restrictions..
I totally agree with your opinion. You are right. It will be more serious problems soon. Theretofore, we have to resolve this problem!!
