A new modal to hinder information piracy

When we were discussing in our ENG101 class about the issue that” if music piracy is stealing”, I came up with a new and innovative idea. I thought “Whether it is stealing or not. Does it matter? It is obviously not ethical. By copying or downloading pieces free, we prevent creative thinking from gaining its efforts’ worth. So we must find a new method to pay every effort in the way of creating pieces.” And I started to plan a new modal to be used for fair paying to pieces.

First of all we want to reach to the resources of pieces for free. Then, we want pieces to be paid with fair payment. So someone must organise the payments for pieces. Government have to be this one. Government must rent all of the pieces from author until writer change decision. These rented pieces can be downloaded or copied by public for free. Measurement of payments must be organised with respect to download, copy or “use of the idea” counter. The pieces which are watched, read or referred must be paid more. Government must make payments for every action on the piece.

As a self- criticism: How can we measure the value of a statue or a building? Until we’ll reach the technology that makes possible to copy or download them I couldn’t find the exact answer.
