英文天天寫： 網(wǎng)絡聽歌收費引熱議

背景介紹：

長期以來，國內(nèi)流行音樂都處于免費下載狀態(tài)，人們可以通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)聽到喜歡的歌曲并下載，且不用支付任何費用。前不久，知名音樂人高曉松爆料，7月1日后，中國音樂產(chǎn)業(yè)將發(fā)生翻天覆地的變化，進入全面正版化的時代，從網(wǎng)上下歌要開始收費了。對此，網(wǎng)絡聽歌收費的話題引起了大家的熱議。在隨后的一些采訪中發(fā)現(xiàn)，多數(shù)受訪者的第一反應是不愿為收費音樂買單，還有一些市民表示“趁著還沒收費，多下些歌”。對于網(wǎng)絡下載音樂收費，大部分群體考慮的第一要素還是價格。另一方面，收費涉及到了對音樂版權(quán)的維護，也可能是未來音樂發(fā)展產(chǎn)業(yè)的趨勢。大家怎么看呢？

話題：

Please choose one of the below topics to write a short paragraph (approximate 100 words):

1. Do you agree to pay for downloading the music online? If yes, why you want to pay for it and how much you want to spend for a song?

2. If no, what are your reasons to support your choice?

3. What will be the future online downloading music tendency?

范例1：

As far as I can see, charging for downloading music online is very difficult to be carried out in China currently. Here are my sound reasons. Since the reform and opening up in China, copyright law and regulations to protect intellectual property are not fully developed while western countries has experienced its development for over two hundreds years. China has a long journey to go in adapting to domestic circumstance. Additionally, the majority of Chinese net citizens take the free downloading music for granted and may be not willing to pay for the bills. Some people hold the view that “it is not stealing and is just creating copy of a product. That product still exists and can be sold.” However, not paying for something which is intended to be paid for, no matter whether it is a physical object or not, is still not correct.

范例2：

Paying for music online is not necessary, for music is made for entertainment. For ages, Chinese citizens have the privilege to download free musics from the Internet. Charging for downloading won't do any good to the economy; moreover, as a traditional concept that "music is free" has built in most Chinese citizens, they will have many different ways to gain access to own free musics. In addition to this concept, there was a ridiculous news in 2007 which changed the way both American citizens and Chinese citizens to interpret the problem of downloading free musics from the internet. It is almost unbelievable that the U.S. supreme court denied the appeal from a woman who expected to pay $222,000 for downloading 24 illegitimate songs. Who would have money to pay the fines, anyway?
