Solution?

Everyone knows that internet piracy is wrong but yet millions of people do it every day. Why is that?  Could it be for the rush that people feel knowing that they are committing a crime or is it just that they can't afford to spend the money on songs or a cd because they have bills to pay? Perhaps it’s just a matter of convenience or maybe if it wasn’t free they wouldn’t purchase it?  

  The music industry is still a billion dollar industry and is still breaking records with sales. Adele sold over 8 million albums and this is the legal count! Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga sold over 1 million albums in the first week of release. While it’s understood that copyright infringement is wrong, has it really caused the industry to fall to its knees?  I think not.  There will always be sold out tours, actual cd sales, and everything that goes with the music industry.  

There doesn’t seem to be an easy answer to this problem.  SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) are now gone but now there is CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act). There is no end in sight...
