Online piracy will no longer be a criminal offence in the UK
The British government has now decided to decriminialise the piracy of films, music and games – meaning that users caught downloading and sharing pirated
material will no longer be fined or prosecuted.
Starting in 2015, those caught pirating material online will receive four letters telling the individual that they have committed an illegal offence….and,
well that’s it.
The reason for the change in policy is that the government have found the current punishment plans to be largely unworkable – and pretty sensibly so. Ofcom
recently released figures stating that almost a quarter of all downloads in the UK were of something pirated – which would be a hell of a lot of people to
prosecute.
While after next year individuals will no longer be fined or prosecuted, the government says it will still continue to try and stop the funding of pirating
sites, but overall – it seems like our government has given up the fight against online piracy. 就是法不责众，犯人太多了抓不过来
不过表现“太突出”的可能还是会被抓 Good news for us all?! 如果人人只用盜版，不肯付錢購買正版，那麼製作人的心血到頭來只是付諸流水，到時便不會再有創作人願意花精神時間創意來推出新的貨品，最終損失的只是所有的人，包括用盜版的。
