My illegal downloading story
I think one of the factors that stop the development of Korean music&movie markets is that Koreans are familiar with illegal downloading and don't feel guilty about that behavior. By the market structure that doesn't give fair price to artist, one-off culture products which make commercial benefit more easier could survive. For example, curture of idol stars improved well; on the contrary, Korean feature animation failed at the box office, and theaters of independent art films closed doors. I like independent art films and Korean indie music, so I am sad to hear this cultural phenomenon; however, Ironically, I usually download illegally. I relieved my guilt by paying the fee for legal website to download MP3 and buying CDs once in a while. I also think "I'm not only person who downloads illegally" to relieve my guilt.

I agree Midori; we often tell ourselves that something is okay just because others do it. A common thing American parents say to their children who use that argument is, "If all of your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?" I think we should stop comparing ourselves to others and just do what we think is right. That's easier said than done though, right?
답글삭제Yeah, You are right.
답글삭제I also think I should pay enough money for that...
But, you know... Most people download
everything freely, and they feel depressed
when they could not find something that they need. I'm one of the people like that~
I guess someone who actauly pays the value for the cds or dvds is hardly found thesedays. oh, I think I am not going to chage my illegal behavior sooner later, but reading yours, I should also buy things with paying once in a blue moon!
답글삭제I agree with your opinion, especially last sentence, "I'm not only person who downloads illegally.".

답글삭제i thougt i'm better than person who download all things. i realize it is just self rationalization!! oh. i'll reflect my wrong think...
