Most people today don’t really consider copyright infringement a problem that is important. Copyright infringement is not really look at today as a commonly thought about problem due to a couple of facts, people seem not to care, the law is not enforce enough or simply people don’t know what it is. Well to answer the question "what is copyright infringement?" Well copyright infringement "Copyright is a statutory or common law right of authors, artists, and developers (or other holders of a copyright) to publish their works, and to prevent others from copying their works. Infringement includes the unauthorized or unlicensed copying of a work subject to copyright." This is from The Tech Law Journal. Copyright infringement has been a problem that government does not seem to want to fix. Government seems to not care about what is happening in the music industry and also protecting musician’s works. The U.S. United States Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 claims "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries". The Contitution have the power to fight copyright infringement yet government seem to not care about protecting peoples works.
