Furthermore, illegal downloading is detrimental to the development of the society. People tend to think that downloading copyrighted material on the internet is a social trend. So they should follow suits. For example, many people take advantage of file sharing software and download the songs that they do not even listen to. Even they then burn copies of music and movies and sell to the black market. As a result, if there was no punishment against this unethical practice, more people would continue to download the illegal materials.
