Pirate content

Downloading legal content has its advantages. For one, you are being assured the best quality, and won't have some kind of glitch in the track, such as a part missed out or people speaking in the background. It also doesn't give you a guilty conscience, for anybody who would get one easily.

That said, pirated content is generally either A. cheaper or B. just free. One major disadvantage however is quality. This isn't such a big problem with music as it is with films. The latest blockbuster movies for instance, can be out on pirate stores within hours of its actual release however, quality is generally rubbish and when you buy a copy, you forfiet your consumer rights, and cannot return it if its unacceptable.

Due to all these reasons, it has made the entertainment industry a lot harder to succeed in, as investors need to be sure they will get a profit, and with free music and movies on the internet, it is getting harder and harder to gain that profit.
