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 I don\'t have enough money. The retail price is too high. The company is gouging customers Since I wouldn\'t have bought it anyway, the company didn\'t lose a sale. I am giving my friend the opportunity to do good deed 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. The advanatges of buying it are first you would get original cd.The cd you would be asking from your friend

  might be corrupted or it can have scratches.Second you wouldn\'t have to face hassle of copying the cd

  on your computer and also you wouldn\'t have to buy another blank cd to create your own copy of music cd.   

b. We buy costly smartphones and still we do not complain about its price.If smartphone price increases by 30% we still not complain.So why do we complain about the price of music cds.

c. It would definitely lose a sale.It could even go out of the market.It goes like this. You didn\'t buy the cd then friends of yours follow you,they too do not buy it they would just ask for copy. If this will happen company will lose its customers drastically.

d. This is not a good deed. He is helping his friend who doesn\'t need any help.

e. You have to change your perception first. Let\'s start from the begining.Artist records songs.He/She spends days and nights to complete a single song. Then that song combined with others songs come in the market in the form of music cds.Then you people don\'t buy it. You do not acknowledge the hard work they did for their songs and you just copy songs from others and sales go down and artist do not get paid for their hard work they did.Let\'s take scenario.You create a software and you spend 1 year on that software then you launch it all over the world and what happens next it you come to know that your software is being used by all over the world absolutely free,how would you feel.Just Think.
