downloading copyrighted music and books

The issue of downloading copyrighted music and books in several countries has grown in importance over the past few decades. I would argue that it can cause several adverse problems for publishers and may lead to financial problems or unemployment to authors or singers. On the one hand, due to advancement in technology, many people have easy access to the internet, it can lead to several cybercrimes like illegal downloading. So authorities should pose hefty fines for those who braking the laws because the authors or singers invest a lot of money and spent a lot of time to produce their work. In addition, downloading for no charge differently leads to a wide variety of problems for publishers. For instance, when a work is published on the Internet for free, people usually unwilling to pay to purchase it, so it is more likely to have financial problems for publishers and finally maybe lead to unemployment for many people. On the other hand, the widespread use of the internet can have several positive effects on some unknown artists. In other words, they can publish their work on the internet for free and it is beneficial for them to influence their followers. As a result, they can advertise their work so as to become well-known. Moreover, the less-known artists can use some advertisements on the internet besides their free downloading and it can beneficial for them to earn some income. So when they become famous they will give some charge from downloading their work. To sum up, I would argue that although downloading music and books for free might have some positive effects, it can be harmful to publishers and lead to several financial problems or unemployment.
