I strongly agree that we should apply copyright law in all over the world for several reasons.
First of all, copyright law will protect many benefits of authors and their intellectual property. Copyright law will deter books, films, songs… from being stolen and made copy illegally. With copyright law, no one can steal others work and use it without paying money. For example, when a copy right is made for a new novel, it tells the world that who is a real author of that achievement so that anyone who wants to read this book has to pay for it. Moreover, copyright law also encourages authors to make more intellectual products. It makes authors feel safe with their attempt so that it gives them a strong motivation to contribute more.
Secondly, copyright law helps to increase democracy and reduce crime in our society. Thanks to copyright law, people will live in a fairer society. People will receive an appropriate benefit with their attempt and hard-working. Just imagine that living a country without copyright law; someone is making unlawful cheap copied CDs of your documentary film which you have spent hardly 7 years to make it. And now everybody is watching your film without even paying for it. Is it fair to live in a society like that? When copyright law is applied, however, it is fairer for both makers and buyers. In additionally, copyright law can also reduce crime effectively. Anyone who makes copy of books, CDs, films… and sells it illegally is considered as criminal should be banned by copyright law. When the law is made, there will be lots of serious punishments like publicly reeducated, paying big amount of money or even putting in jail to prevent criminal from committing crime. Thus, our society will be fairer and less crime.
There is still disapproval ideal that poor students will have more difficulty to access books when copyright law is applied. Although it is a reasonable ideal for poor students who want to save money by buying books with cheap price, I think that there can be another better solution for this case. How about buying books together. By doing this, 3 or 5 students can own one book and share it to read in turns. This is not only a funnier way to read books but also a saving money way for poor students. It helps them realize the valuable of their books so that they will read and keep books very carefully. Besides, going to the library to read books is also a good solution for poor students when copyright law is made. Instead of making illegally copy of books, it is a remarkable habit of going to the library which is a fantastic place with lots of interesting books to read to get more knowledge.
There are several reasons why copyright law should be applied all over the world. It firstly protects authors who contribute their intellectual property for the world; copyright law also helps to make the world more fair and peaceful. As being a student, I hope that students ourselves will realize how bad it is to make unlawful copy of other intellectual products.
