All Those Noughts

B. I think I made a big mistake leaving the money because the person who had the money sat down in the bathroom but he didn´t see the money and other person who stay in that place, could have taken it. The problem is the cameras of the airport because I have been able to be seen and when the person who take the money would have gone to the police station and I could be investigated.

Other problem is the person of the briefcase because he had a lot of money and could be to solve a serious problem. I have stolen her briefcase and he may be having a hard time.

The solution would have been returning the briefcase and say "I found it". I may be have a gift.

Illegal downloading of stuff on the internet could be reduced considerably if CD of film and music are more inexpensive, for example, if the cinema was more inexpensive, people go to the cinema with friends or family and we don´t download the films. Moreover if the film is atractive and in the videoclub is inexpensive, the people buy the film and illegal downloading isn´t increasing.

For the other hand, if we download de music the music producers not obtain benefit because people don´t buy the CDs and don´t make money if we download music illegally. This can be changed if the producers will attract the attetion of the people, for example making offers.
