Free Culture (15-30)

Piracy does more than just rob someone from the profit they could have made but the hard work that went into creating the work i.e. film, music, and books. By using the internet it's very easy to steal someone's work or create a variation of it and make a profit off of it but in the case of the manga doujinshi there aren't enough lawyers to really stop these products from being made (27). It's sad becuase this crime is still going on because most people still do it regardless if it's a crime or not. Here's a good example of piracy being a real problem which can be seen in the video by artist Mutiny Within and their song entitled "Embers" which illustrates the problem of piracy becuase one of their albums was a victim of online piracy.  Here's the link http://www.metalinjection.net/video/mutiny-within-embers-video-premiere
