You wouldn't steal a car. You would never rob (搶劫) a bank or pick someone's pocket. But you may
be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of
their intellectual properly rights (知識產(chǎn)權(quán)).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property
rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文學(xué)的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They
are of little value (價值) if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money
and time making a new product. That's why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated (盜版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no
respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make
pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how
much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee (版權(quán)費(fèi)) also should be fair to the users. That's good for the music's popularity and
society as well.

I've celebrated Christmas many times, but this is the first time with family and relatives. My cousins from my mum's side invited us for Christmas celebration at their house this year. I don't see them often, as generally we're not that close to them. A bit history of them here. They were the children of my second uncle. He had two wives. The cousins I met there were from both. Four daughters and a son from the first, and two sons from the second. The rest were not around. The house we went to is in Tropicana, which was extremely large. I enjoyed the celebration we had yesterday. It's the usual stuff I've seen on TV, and heard from friends who celebrate them. Caroling (圣頌歌), having dinner, social talks, introduction of who is whose children etc., and not to miss, the food, delicious. I like the turkey sandwich. As usual, I looked and walked around after dinner, and to my surprise, two of my nephews, aged 22 and 25, look really beautiful, just like movie stars. The nieces were not bad at all. Some are very pretty, and the rest are all above average. We left about 11:30 pm. I sure hope to meet them again in the near future. Hopeful]y when rny cousin that I meet quite regularly, had her open house, also in Tropicana. | ||||||||||||
