In this technological era, people can easily and freely access anything from the internet involving arts (movies, music and et cetera). Some people think that this is a positive development, while others do not think so. I strongly believe that sharing movies and music is a positive development because it can inspire aspiring new comer artists and create art more accessible for people.
To begin with, art is unique expression which produced to entertain spectators. Newbie artists need reference to develop their ideas, whereas they have different economic situations, thus, they should keep learning to produce arts. Watching previous music and movies from the internet is one of ways to increase their knowledge. If they were required to pay for movies and music, It might reduce their motivation and enthusiasm for art. As a result, many beginners might lose interest and abondan their passion then look for another occupation. For instance : several new artists left the entertainment industries because they lacked access to resource and exposure.
Moreover, free access to movies and music can attract public attention and generate curiousity about new arts so they might influence others to enjoy these arts. As a result, the newcomer artist might become popular rapidly. Artist can still earn income through fan loyalty by selling official merchandise and licensed copies of their works. For example : Indonesian government allows individuals to download music and movies for personla use, while commercial uses requires specific licensing.
To sum up, providing free access to art online can bring benefits to societies. I firmly agree that previous arts providing good references for future artists and implementing appropriate regulation is needed to keep the loyalty of those arts.
