Copyright laws: necessay or not?

The problem of copyright lasts just since the time it was introduced. Laws protect creative people's inventions and their intellectual property, however, it is still usual that others steal it or use it without paying any royalty. On the one hand, if any of us would be asked whether he or she wants to be robbed, I am sure that the answer would be negative. But on the other hand, almost all of us listen to music, use programs on laptop and download films from the internet without any payment. In this essay, we will discuss ideas from both sides: authors and consumers. We have to admit that creative people in their majority are poorly rewarded and need protection. Of course, you can easily find musicians, artists, and actors who are extremely rich, but not all of them live such an affluent life. A lot of them have to find extra jobs to make ends meet, but in that case, their main occupation can lack inspiration and quality. I remember my younger age when there were almost no official copies of audio disks or VHS film tapes on the Russian market. But nowadays, internet technologies develop at a high pace and there are some positive trends in the field of copyright. A lot of new applications were released to simplify the search and use of the content. So people now are more likely to pay some amount of money for their convenience. To sum up, I think that the only working option to make people pay royalties is to create more convenient non-free applications for smartphones and TVs. The practice of the last decade shows the effectiveness of this method.
