Internet Technology: Illegal Copyrighting of books, movies and texts on the internet

Issue: How does the legal system monitor copyrighting? How effective is the copyrighting law and how is it enforced?

Project Statement
In the modern world downloading illegal movies and books has become eaisly accessible. Increasing popularity of dowloading movies and books through networking programs, which fail to gain proper authorization from companies, also have a negative effect on the market value. Infringement of the copyright law leads to the consequences of fines and possible jail time. Although the law is in place, it is not enforced. Millions of people each yeat get away with theft. Is this right and fair? We believe that the justice system should do their duties efficently and effectivley, when it comes to downloading illegal movies and books.
