Critical Analysis of Internet Piracy

The article bу Nick Bilton (Intemet Pirates W ill Always W in) points out the immense development in online piracy and the infringement of copyright issues. А one major concem of the writer is the recuпent challenges faced bу authorities seeking to curb piracy sites on the intemet, such as the BitТoпent. As much as content owners seek to fight such websites as BitТoпent, the author provides case examples to show that the proЫem will persist as long as intemet remains active. Bilton seems to agree with respondents' views on the inadequate goodwill bу media companies to solve piracy challenges. The general opinion of the author is that content owners should disregard the ef forts of stopping illegal downloading from the intemet, and instead seek altemative solutions.

Similar sorts of sentiment are shared bу Andersson where а Pirate Bay's presses spokesman revealed that the Swedish authorities could not stop their distribution activities. Conversely , content owner т а у lose while attempting such impossiЫe tactics.

In relation to the article bу Jonas Andersson (For the Good of the Net: The Pirate Ва у as а Strategic Sovereign), Bilton insinuates that the general Intemet pubic has become proactive in setting new standards of digital content.

As an extension of Bilton view on the fight against this vice, Andersson emphasizes on politicization of the issue which ultimately frustrates the ef forts attain а competitive entertainment industry . According to Andersson, strategic instantiations of distribution increasingly replaces the tactical of consumption as consumers take control of content distribution.

Both articles are based on crediЫe information obtained from interviews and comments from file-sharers. Through online interviews, the articles sough to justify the actions behind pirate activities. Irrespective of the content authenticity , the actions of illegal sharing or downloading represented а norm that online community exhibit across the world population.
