Q1. People give a variety of reasons for copying a music CD from a friend instead of buying it. Refute each of reasons given below using one of the viable theories (Hint: you don’t have to use the same theory for each time.) a. I don’t have enough money. b. The retail price is too high. The company is gouging customers c. Since I wouldn’t have bought it anyway, the company didn’t lose a sale. d. I am giving my friend the opportunity to do good deed e. Everyone else is doing it. Why should I be the only person to buy it when everyone else is getting it for free?

Solution

a)If you really want to buy it, you could save little by little until you could afford to buy the CD.

b)The retail price is not high, comparing the number of illegal downloaders of music to the actualpeople that buy the CD, they are just reciprocating the loss.

c) But the fact that you still listened to the music gives potential buyers. You don’t know if it is notgood until you try it, in this case buying the CD.

d) It is not a good deed if it is done with the wrong intention. You should go by the 4 step rule, thequestion, is it fair to all concerned?

e)Be the change you want to see. If you set an example to the others and explaining the pros andcons of doing it, they might follow and help the music industry.
