Task 12
Are you into1 music? One of the most common crimes among the young is illegal downloading2 of music. Lots of people are doing it, even though we know that really we are breaking3 the law, but as long as nobody is ever punished, there is little incentive to stop doing it. But the people in the music business are starting to fight back because it is the biggest threat to their industry.
Fifteen-year-old Melissa Clarke was one of the first to be taken to court for intellectual stolen4. She had transferred over twenty hours of music to her computer and had been adding to her collection for over four years when her luck finally ran out5 . Her computer was taken away as evidence6 when the police came to arrest her. The fifteen-year-old girl was found guilty7 and given a fine of £4,500.
Her father will be paying the fine as he is legally responsible for his daughter. He was usually calm about the situation. While he agreed with the judge’s decision, he didn’t blame her. “All her friends surf8 the internet these days and download music without paying. It’s the first time she has ever steal9 a crime and we’re sure she’s learnt her lesson.”
A spokesman from the industry was happy with the court decision. “We are all into10 the changes that we see in the media business, but we have to make sure that artists receive fair payment. The only way we can guarantee the quality of music in the future is to make sure that people who want to listen to the music pay a fair price.”
It’s a message Melissa has learnt very well.

Вы увлекаетесь музыкой? Одно из самых распространенных преступлений среди молодёжи -это незаконное скачивание музыки. Многие люди делают это, даже несмотря на то, что мы знаем, что на самом деле мы нарушаем закон, но до тех пор, пока никто не наказан, нет никакого стимула, чтобы прекратить это делать. А вот люди в музыкальном бизнесе начинают сопротивляться, потому что это самая большая угроза для их индустрии.
Пятнадцатилетняя Мелисса Кларк была одной из первых, кого привлекли к суду за интеллектуальное воровство. Она скачала более двадцати часов музыки на ее компьютер и добавляла ее к коллекции, которой уже более четырех лет, когда ее удача наконец - то иссякла . Ее компьютер забрали в качестве вещественного доказательства, когда полиция пришла арестовывать ее. Пятнадцатилетняя девочка была обвинена и получила штраф в размере 4500 фунтов стерлингов.
