背景介绍:

长期以来,国内流行音乐都处于免费下载状态,人们可以通过互联网听到喜欢的歌曲并下载,且不用支付任何费用。前不久,知名音乐人高晓松爆料,7月1日后,中国音乐产业将发生翻天覆地的变化,进入全面正版化的时代,从网上下歌要开始收费了。对此,网络听歌收费的话题引起了大家的热议。在随后的一些采访中发现,多数受访者的第一反应是不愿为收费音乐买单,还有一些市民表示“趁着还没收费,多下些歌”。对于网络下载音乐收费,大部分群体考虑的第一要素还是价格。另一方面,收费涉及到了对音乐版权的维护,也可能是未来音乐发展产业的趋势。大家怎么看呢?

话题:

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?
