Stop Online Piracy Act
Stop Online Piracy Act
Internet is both great and terrible. As a source of information, a tool for delivering music and art, it’s great. But spamming ads and piracy is terrible. It’s stealing.
Piracy is the thorny issue in the Philippines. This really shows how we, as consumers, see piracy in terms mainly of getting a bargain, and that most of us think it’s a victimless crime.
The growing piracy business has made the Philippines one of the thirty-one countries that supposedly have a larger market for illegal software than for commercial software according to International Intellectual Property Alliance. Similar numbers are not available for the film industry, yet it is safe to assume that media piracy has change the way movies in the Philippines are distributed and consumed.
But why should we care if the product were buying is pirated or not? Think about this, if you use counterfeit or copied software, then you may face some consequences. And you are also exposing you or your business to take risk of loss of time, money, credibility and business.s
Why lost time? I tell you, one of the greatest dangers of using counterfeit software is its ability to destroy valuable data. Counterfeit software is more likely to contain computer virus and corrupt files which can bring your organization to a grinding halt. The only guarantee that comes with the use of counterfeit software is the guarantee of no original documentation, no technical support, no distribution of upgrades, and no quality assurance. Counterfeit software does not give you or your organization the assurance of functioning efficiently. It is counterproductive to every investment your organization makes. SOPA or Stop Online Piracy Act promotes prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of Philippine property, and for other purposes. I agree for the implementation of SOPA in the Philippines to stop piracy online and offline. SOPA would bring much of the positive
