Dear editor,

I am writing to express my view on the movie and music piracy. Last year, the Hong Kong Government convicted a person of infringing copyright successfully, who uploaded copyrighted movies to his server and allowed other users to download them. For this incident, I am highly disappointed of the Internet user because they infringed the effort that the copyright owner paid. It is morally wrong to upload or download the piracy music and videos illegally. In addition, this phenomenon means the Hong Kongs intellectual property is being exploited. If this phenomenon continues, it is believed that Hong Kong will not have good music or video anymore.

According to a research from some Universities in Hong Kong, it was found that the different age groups had different reasons of the download or upload the piracy music or videos. The research is divided into two age groups to carry out, a group of teenagers and a group of adults. The research found the reason of most teenagers download or upload the piracy music and videos is that they lack of money and resources. On account of their process of studying, they undoubtedly lack of money and resources to purchase the expensive original CDs or movies. Therefore, the only way they can enjoy the music or videos is to download them from the internet. And for the adults group, the reason is convenient. Nowadays, downloading materials from the internet is very convenient. In addition to the huge resources from the internet, the download time is just for a moment. Therefore, these advantages attracted them to download the piracy music or videos from the internet. They would not go to the store for the original CDs or movies.

In this changing society, many citizens are being turned into criminals simply because of the illegal uploading or downloading. As a consequence, the regulations need to be tightening up. And the Government needs to strengthen the law enforcement to crack down on this kind of Internet crimes. For example, formulate new laws to limit the illegal uploading or downloading behavior. Also, the education is significant. No matter how strict the regulation is, if the students are lack of this kind of knowledge, it will surely become a vicious cycle. The criminals will continuously appear in the coming future.

To summaries, if the Government still doesn’t face to this problem, the intellectual property will be disappeared in Hong Kong. All creativity companies will be closed or moved to other countries because of the illegal downloading or uploading. So, I earnestly request the Hong Kong Government to solve this problem immediately.

Yours faithfully,

Philip

亲爱的编辑，

我想在电影和音乐盗版方面表达我的观点。去年，香港政府成功地对侵犯著作权的，盗版电影版权的，允许其他用户进行下载的人进行了定罪。对于这一事件，我非常失望，因为他们侵犯互联网用户的努力，版权所有者的付出。这是道德上错误的上传或下载盗版音乐和视频非法。此外，这种现象意味着香港的知识产权被利用。如果这种现象持续下去，相信香港会不会有好的音乐或视频了。

根据在香港的一些大学的研究，结果发现，不同年龄组有不同的原因或上传下载盗版音乐或视频。本研究分为两个年龄组进行，一组青少年组和成人组。研究发现原因大多数青少年的上传或下载盗版音乐和视频是他们缺乏资金和资源。他们在学习的过程，他们无疑是缺乏资金和资源购买昂贵的正版电影。因此，他们可以享受音乐或视频的唯一途径是从互联网上下载。在成人组，原因是方便。如今，从互联网上下载资料非常方便。除了巨大的资源来自互联网，下载时间只是片刻。因此，这些优势吸引了他们从网上下载盗版音乐或视频。他们不会去商店买正版或电影。

在这个不断变化的社会，许多市民正在变成罪犯只是因为非法上传或下载。作为一个结果，规定需要抓紧。政府需要加强执法，打击这类网络犯罪。例如，制定新的法律来限制非法上传或下载行为。同时，教育是重要的。无论多么严格的规定，如果学生有这种知识的缺乏，它必将成为一种恶性循环。犯罪分子将不断出现在即将到来的未来。

总结，如果政府仍然不面对这个问题，知识产权将在香港消失。因为非法下载或上传的原因，所有的创意公司将关闭或搬迁到其他国家。因此，我恳请香港政府立即解决这个问题。

你的忠实的，

菲利普
