One of the challenges about copyright laws is that the new generation is growing up thinking that they don’t have to pay for music or other intangible products. They will pay for clothes and food, but won’t pay for music.
I remember reading an article in the Ensign magazine a couple of years ago. In the article the author suggested to not distribute music illegally, and to be careful about copyright laws, among other things. I remember sending the link to the article to one of my friends in a country where piracy is common. He said that he did not want to read the article because he knew that he was not willing to follow the counsel given there. That is just how he was brought up; that is how the new generation is brought up.
Companies can sue and go after companies and individuals, but they will not be able to shut down the network or the technology where file sharing operates. The most effective way to solve this problem of infringement of copyright laws is trying to change how people think. Just how you can say “no” to someone that is offering you a drug, you can say “no” to someone offering to copy copyright material for you.
