Today's problem concerning the free availability of copyrighted materials such as music, films and books on the internet is a huge matter. Regarding the issue, some people are completely against it and thus want it to be fixed because it is resulting in huge loss of money for the owners of the works. Likewise, there are others arguing in contrast to that perspective and that is because they think it is profitable to be able to watch free contents on the internet. In this essay, I will discuss both sides. In my opinion, I firmly believe that the free access to copyrighted materials on the internet is a bad thing.
