Copyright laws are obviously a good thing to have. Without copyright laws people that create different things would not get the credit they deserve, and everyone would just be able to take what is not rightfully their's. On the other hand, I think that there are a lot of things about copyright laws that are a bit much. Obviously as a kid my age I download and listen to a lot of music. I understand that artists deserve to get money back for the music they make, but I think it is a little out of hand how much money they must be getting because everyone is paying a dollar for their songs. I think that someone needs to find a happy middle ground where people can purchase music and share it with a certain amount of people so that both parties would be happy. It gets to be very spendy for students like me to pay a dollar for every song I buy and realize at the end of the year I bought over three hundred songs. That's one thing that makes me laugh about copyright laws and people trying to stop illegal downloading, obviously I'm going to download music for free if I can when I realize I'm wasting 300$ a year. That's outrageous that people have to spend that much to be in accordance with dumb copyright laws.

Listen to the Radio! It's free. Although I agree, music does cost too much. With it so easy to download illegally for free, it makes sense why people don't buy it.
