In today's digital world copyright laws are violated everyday. I believe that the copyright laws that are in place are important. It is a disservice to us as artists to have our work stolen so easily. If someone wants to go into music store and steal all the CDs in the store they would be arrested and charged. This act is no different then what occurs millions of times a day by people stealing others work online. This is indeed stealing and people should be punished for it. It is the web services like Google that have allowed people to find this information and steal it. Google is indeed a very useful tool but it has allowed our generation to become dependent upon it and similar services. People of our generation experience instant gratification all the time a question pops into your head and its answered within seconds thanks to the Internet this appears to be a good thing, but this instant gratification prevents people of our generation from thinking about the subject more deeply and drawing their own conclusions.
