Say No to Pirated Products
No one can have failed to notice the fact that piracyhas become a grave
problem with which we are confronted. Taking a look around, we can find examples
tool numerous to list. In many places we see people peddling pirated books or
disks. There is hardly anyone who has not been asked the question: “Wanna a
disk?”Actually, piracyhas become so widespread that it has severely affected
people’s life and hindered the development of the nation’s economy and
culture.
A number of factors could be responsible for this phenomenon, but the
following are the most critical ones. First, pirated products are much cheaper
than copyrighted ones, so they are very attractive to people, especially
youngsters, who are not financially well-off. Secondly, with highly developed
technology, it is not difficult to manufacture pirated products. An average
person can produce thousands of copies of a film only if he has a computer and a
recorder, which won’t cost him much. Last but not least, relevant laws are not
in existence or in effect.
Piracy is bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind
eye to it. First, intellectual property rightsare severely infringed upon and
honest producers will lose the motivation to develop new products.As a result,
the nation’s economy and culture will stay where they are and see no
progress.Meanwhile, pirated products are often of low quality,thus damaging the
interest of buyers, especially customers who wish to purchase copyrighted
products.Finally, the destruction of pirated products means a grievous waste of
the nation’s resources. It is really upsetting to see thousands of pirated books
burnt or millions of pirated DVDs of films and music crushed.
In view of the seriousness of the problem,effective measures must be taken
before things get worse.First, it isessential that pertinent laws and
regulations be worked out and rigidly enforced to ban the manufacture and
circulation of pirated products.Meanwhile, a deep-going, widespread and
everlasting campaign should be launched to enhance people’s awareness of
protecting intellectual property rights and saying no to pirated products.With
proper laws and an alert public, it will be only a matter of time before
piracybecomes a thing of the past. /With these measures taken, we have reasons
to believe that the problem can be solved in the near future./Only with these
measures taken can we expect a bright future.
