An important thing to connect an internet user with website that provide illegally download is not all about the website, it is a software name peer-to-peer, as know as p2p. This software connects internet user to others without need for a central point management. Some of its programs do, provide some legal downloads; but of course, most of them are not. And yet, some of these programs may cause the computer system and NU Network in risk.
First thing first, how can I legally download? 1 of the ways is software owners always provide the software to play the multi media files or need a service fee to download and use the multi media files. Most softwares that play digital files is legal, even though some of them are not. Some software have been declared by court as legal like Kazaa, but the software itself doesn't give you legal rights to the content.
You must make sure you're downloading a legal file as well. Those files must be considered as copyrighted content. Once you have a software to play the files, you have to pay or obtain permission to play when using that software. When comes to decide whether they provide a legal multi media file, look for statements that they have obtained the copyright permission of the artists or the companies. If you don't see this information, suspicious the file and send to providers a message and ask whether they have obtain the permission from copyright holder to sell or share the file.
Last but not least, be careful when you're uploading. You must know whether have you infringement the copyright or no although sometime it is hard to aware.
These are the ways to prevent some internet piracy cases happen. If you have solution other than that, don't feel shy, share to us. We must help each other so that internet piracy cases will be lesser and lesser.
