Copyright

In today’s world copyright itself is not a big issue anymore, in fact its implementation is. With this rapidly growing technological era it has become very inevitable to restrain the piracy and maintain the copyright and privacy of any work, be it movie, book, report, documentary, photo or software.

Pakistan topping the list in making copy of every IT software and not only this its widely spread for music and movies as well. Although Pakistan has its copyright ordinance of 1962 but it’s also like other laws and orders which were made but never implemented completely.

The civic sense and social individual responsibility is missing among us which is constantly giving rise to this uncontrollable phenomenon. Strict social order and control should be implemented by the regulatory authorities especially the Law and the state by giving exemplary punishments to abide these unethical activities. This has to be dealt individually in each country.

Moreover, other tools of maintaining the order and control can be used like fixing particular fees, passwords, penalties or pay per view like restrictions. Some of the European countries are following these strategies very religiously and these activities are therefore banned in most parts of the globe.
