Yujin Park/ a persuasive essay/ Tue 9am.

By developing technologies, we can easily watch film and listen to music whatever we want through the internet without going to cinema and music concert.

This gives us more convenience than before. However, it brings up problem of infringing intellectual property. Nowadays, it seems much more severe than we think. So, there has been a ceaseless conflict between protection of intellectual property and the human's right of using materials.

 

As the infringement of intellectual property is a kind of crime, the penalties for IPR infringement should be heavier.

Intellectual property is also human's right so we should protect it. Many musicians and film makers put their all efforts and their imagination, their own thinking into their product. So, when people download their music or film for free through the internet, it's definitely huge infringement of their intellectual property right. 

They have right to protect their thought, their product and their creative things from being used without any payment for their intellectual product.

 

However, many people insist that they have also right to use materials through the internet whatever they want. They assert this right, so there has been a ceaseless conflict between two rights.

Of course we can use and have right to use materials. However, the important point is to pay for the product. As intellectual property is an important product, we have to pay for it. So, if we do, there has no problem for human's right to using materials.

 

Then how about the penalties? The penalties for IPR should be much heavier.

For example, one chinese internet site makes everyone easily download all sort of korean dramas without any payment. I wonder if this site is allowed to do this, maybe not. Korean government should know this situation and make make solutions for infringement of IPR.

 

The infringement of intellectual property is not just our problem but also a country's issue.

Especially, as Korean drama has great popularity in all Asian countries, we cannot ignore of it.

Intellectual property is not an invisible right but visible right. So, we must try to do in order to protect it by ourselves. One small behavior can make big changes. If each person has responsibility for using other person's intellectual product and act a behavior with responsibility, we can easily catch two important human's rights, intellectual property right and the right of using materials.

    1. What I like about this piece of writing is

    2. Your main point seems to be that regulations on intellectual properties should be stronger.

    3.These particular words or lines struck me as powerful: Using IPR was good and made it look professional.

    4.Some things aren’t clear to me
    'watch film and listen to music whatever we want'
    I think you were trying to say whenever.

    5. The one change you could make that would make the biggest improvement in this piece of writing is to elaborate on your points. Some more detailed stories or examples would make your writing more vivid.

  2. To Yu Jin Park From Ju Hye Choi
    1. What I like about this piece of writing is it is straight to the point.
    2. Your main point seems to be that since illegally downloading intellectual properties is a serious crime, there must also be a penalty made accordingly and if people start making changes by agreeing to abide by the rules we can improve human rights.
    3. These particular words or lines struck me as powerful:
    IPR/ it makes your writing more convincing.
    4. The one change you could make that would make the biggest improvement in this piece of writing is to give more details. For example, when mentioning terms such as IPR, although it was mentioned in the second paragraph, it would be better to either parenthesize or explain what it stands in the beginning so that readers can understand better. Overall, it was a pleasure to read :)

  3. 2nd draft

    It is not surprising that today, we can easily watch film and listen to music whatever we want through the internet without going to cinema and music concert.
    Downloading through the internet gives us more convenient life than before. However, the more we download them, the more problems and conflict of infringing intellectual property has been brought up.
    Even this problem seems much more severe than we think. In reality, there are many negative effects of using materials for free. For instance the music market in Korea has been depressed because of free downloading. However, we cannot overlook our rights to using all materials whatever we want. So, there has been a ceaseless conflict between the protection of intellectual property and the human's right of using materials.

    As the infringement of intellectual property is a kind of crime, the penalties for IPR infringement should be heavier. Intellectual property is also human's right so we should protect it. Many musicians and film makers put their all efforts and their imagination, their own thinking into their product. So, when people download their music or film for free through the internet, it's definitely huge infringement of their intellectual property right.
    They have right to protect their thought, their product and their creative things from being used without any payment for their intellectual product.

    However, many people insist that they have also right to use materials through the internet whatever they want. They assert this right, so there has been a ceaseless conflict between two rights.
    Of course we can use and have right to use materials. However, the important point is to pay for the product. As intellectual property is an important product, we have to pay for it. So, if we do, there has no problem for human's right to using materials.

    Then how about the penalties? The penalties for IPR should be much heavier.
    For example, one chinese internet site makes everyone easily download all sort of korean dramaswithout any payment. I wonder if this site is allowed to do this, maybe not. Korean government should know this situation and make make solutions for infringement of IPR.

    The infringement of intellectual property is not just our problem but also a country's issue.
    Especially, it has been a severe problem and one of the top issue in Korea since Korean dramas and misic have great popularity in all around the world, we cannot ignore of it.
    Intellectual property is not an invisible right but visible right. So, we must try to do in order to protect it by ourselves. Music and films are the great assets not only for the owners but also for all of us. It is one of our duty to protect the great assets by ourselves. One small behavior can make big changes. If each person has responsibility for using other person's intellectual product and act a behavior with responsibility, we can easily catch two important human's rights, intellectual property right and the right of using materials.
