The music industry is recovering from years of falling sales when CDs were replaced by MP3s. Thanks to legal downloading, UK music sales rose from 101.5 million in 2008 to around 154 million in 2010. However, the industry still has a big problem. More than three quarters of music downloaded in Britain today is obtained illegally — 218 million worth, in fact. So, now, faced with a whole generation of young people who have only ever downloaded music, how can the authorities persuade people that music should be paid for?
The record companies argue that for good music to survive, the writers and performers need to profit from their work. However, it seems the public and the record companies disagree as to how much income the artists and record companies deserve.
The band Radiohead released their album In Rainbows online in 2008 and invited fans to pay whatever they thought it was worth rather than a set price. The average price paid was just 2.80, with three in five people paying nothing at all.
The American singer Tori Amos likens downloading music without paying for it to shoplifting. She said in 2009: “Listening to a song is like a chocolate tasting. I can taste the chocolate, I can decide if I like it or not … but you don’t then take a box and put it in your bag. If you don’t support the chocolate producers you like, or the artists you like, then they’re not going to be able to continue.”
Politicians seem to share Amos’s opinion that illegal downloading is theft. In 2009, the French parliament created an agency to monitor illegal file sharing. It also passed a law under which anyone who is caught sharing copyrighted material such as music receives a warning letter. If you are caught three times, you are cut off from the Internet.
The Australian, New Zealand and British governments have announced plans for similar legislation, but there have been protests about the proposals in all those countries. Two British Internet service providers have argued in court that they are not responsible for the traffic on their services and it’s unfair to expect them to take action against people who download illegally. In Ireland, meanwhile, a judge has ruled that people who download music legally cannot be cut off from the Internet.
One thing seems certain — there will be plenty more debate until harmony is restored between record companies, governments, performers and music fans.

Speaking
In my community, the most common crimes are theft, vandalism and sometimes burglary. I think people commit these crimes for different reasons. Some do it because they need money, others because they have nothing useful to do, and some teenagers do it just for fun or to impress their friends.
To prevent crime, we should have more police patrols, better street lighting and more activities for young people. It is also important to keep the streets clean and encourage people to look after their neighbourhood. If everyone works together, the community will become safer.

Writing
There are several ways to make our city’s neighbourhoods safer. First of all, there should be more police patrolling the streets day and night. This would make people feel safer and would also discourage criminals from committing crimes.
Another useful idea is to install more streetlights in parks, on roads and at bus stops. Bright streets would leave fewer dark places where criminals could hide, and it would also be easier for witnesses to describe them if a crime happened.
In addition, the council should provide more late-night buses and trains. This would help people travel safely in the evening and at night.
To sum up, if the council and local people work together, our neighbourhoods will become much safer and more comfortable for everyone.
