- What is the advantage of paying a supplier such as Apple for a legal music download?
You get the music legally and will not be hunted down and killed by some random man.
- What is the disadvantage of buying a pirate DVD from a market stall?
You cannot garentee that the quality will be good and then when you buy it and find out it is rubbish you cannot go back and say "Oi! This is a pirate copy and its ****!" because they already know that and will not do anything about it but shout at you!
- What is the disadvantage of getting a pirate download of the latest Hollywood blockbuster before its UK release?
It will not be good quality and again you cannot complain to them, this time they will just not answer you, you will also have just wasted money and there could have been a virus or something attached to the file which is now eating the insides of your computer.
- What is the disadvantage to you visiting an illicit music download site?
You will only find bad copies and you might not even get what you want, also you will most likely download another virus with a song that shouts "You are an idiot!" before your computer crashes and you must get a new one.
- Does widespread illicit downloading discourage the funding of new talent?
It is more likely that people will not want to pay for the cds and so there will be only a number of cds brought that will then be added to the internet where more people can download it without having to pay anything. This will take away your funding and the money you might have gained from people actually buying your cds.
This will put new bands out of business because they will not get enough income due to the lack of people willing to take them on and the amount of people getting their songs for free.
