In an age where almost anything can be found in the internet for free, movies are one of the most popular. People get to share different kinds of data through the internet basically anytime and anywhere. However, there’s no such a thing as a free lunch like they say. Sharing of data such as movies, music, software or programs are being prohibited by law and is thus punishable by it. People can I fact go to jail for it although small time offenders usually just pay fines. With the billions of people that download stuff from the internet everyday, it is highly likely that these small time movie producers would get to chase a good deal of movie pirates throughout the internet receive a great amount of money from the fines the law suits that would be filed would give them as well.

The thing about this though is that the real motives of these lawsuits are being questioned. It seems as if it is not really the act of illegally downloading these movies is not the real deal but the amount of money that the fines would generate is what the main point is.

Although they are coursing through legal process per se, the morality of the entire issue is sketchy. While they have every right to file these lawsuits against the people who illegally download their movies, it still remains a fact that most of these downloaders are individual cases that involves teenagers who barely understand the seriousness of their actions. For all they know, everyone is doing it and it’s more popularly known as torrenting or file sharing which do not sound legal.
