Having finished her homework,Ma Li wants some music for relaxation.As usual,she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files.But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs' copyright bursts onto the screen.The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating (盗版) copyright.Lawsuits (诉讼) have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.In September 2005,a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses.Baidu were also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website.This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
“Baidu' s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying.Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines," said an official.
Like many teens,Huang Ruoru,an 18 - year - old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province,doesn' t think that getting music from websites is wrong.She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends.When told about the lawsuit,she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others' work without paying.
However,other teenagers have different ideas.Wang Yafei,a Senior 2 girl from Jinan,Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers.“If I download a song and really like it,I will buy the CD," she said."So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music,rather than pursuing file - sharers.”
玛丽做完作业想听些音乐放松.和往常一样,她打开她的电脑,去百度 下载音乐文件.但这次她惊讶的发现一个关于保护歌曲版权的声明弹出在屏幕上.免费的音乐和电影下载的时代可能要终结了,像百度这样的公司被控盗版 .诉讼针对四个提供免费下载网站.2005 年 9 月,北京法院下令百度赔偿上海 Push 唱片公司的损失.百度也被告知要阻止盗版音乐网站上的链接.这引起了关于互联网文件共享的激烈讨论.
"百度在 诉讼中的失败表明是不付费下载受版权保护的歌曲,是不对的.下载者可能面临法律诉讼或罚款,"一位官员说.
像许多青少年一样,广东省普宁的18 岁姑娘黄若如,并不 认为从网站获取音乐是错误的.她总是和她的朋友分享从百度下载的她最喜欢的歌.当被告知有关诉讼时,她开始感到有点内疚,无需付费获得其他人的劳动成果.
但是,其他青少年有不同的想法.王亚飞,一位来自山东省济南市的高 2 女孩指出:文件共享是促进流行歌手的好方法."如果我下载一首歌曲,并真的很喜欢它,我就会买 CD,"她说."所以,唱片公司真的应该做的是专注于提高他们的音乐,而不追求文件-共享."
