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.
