Growing up we learned how to use computers and different websites that were on the internet. A lot of us used these sites to download music which at that point in time we didn’t know it was illegal. The action of taking someone else’s work and using it like it’s yours is considered piracy. People still commit piracy to this day. Everyday someone is downloading the new Nicki Minaj album or Cardi B album trying to see which album is better. Some people don’t really know the difference someone committing piracy or someone just streaming something. The difference is in the action. Piracy is you taking something from someone and not paying for it rather than having a service that you pay for and you can watch everything you want no matter where you are.
The act of piracy started when kids would download the new songs out at that time on sites like LimeWire. Nobody really knew what was going on then anyway . We were all innocent and just thought we were cool for having the new songs or albums out there. Little did we know that it would become such a big thing today. As the years went on we learned more and more about these computers we had and kept finding new and approves ways to get what we want from the web. We found new sites and new ways of not getting caught. The act of piracy is kind of like hacking.
