Ethics In Computer

It is legal to copy songs from a CD, provided it was purchased legally. A principal at a local high school, however, has learned that students have been copying popular tracks from purchased music Cd's to other Cd's using the schools computer and selling the Cd's for $1.00 each. As the dean of students, what action would you take against the students copying the Cd's? What action would you take against the students buying the illegal copies? Write a brief report.

First, I have to alter that there ain't nothing wrong in copying a LEGALLY purchased CD. Maybe you have to copy it to avoid buying another if you loose the original. But the apple of discord is in selling these duplicated copies. I Think That Is Absolutely wrong.
People go into music for the fame, but most people go into music for the money. These artists spend most of their time writing and organising songs to make money, and at the end the hope to RIP what they SOW. Duplicating and selling these Cd's is like reaping what you did not sow. By so doing you are causing loss to the artist and also to the producing company. And as a matter of fact, i think piracy is illegal, therefore, you are going against the law.
Nobody is forced to buy these Cd's, so if you happen to afford it, its advisable to keep it to yourself unless the law states otherwise.
Well as the dean of studies, i might go a long way as to expelling these law breakers and as for those buying the illegal copies, i think there punishment wont be as severe as the latter because most of them buy these Cd's without knowing they are pirated. I might end up giving them suspension from the school for sometime.
