SEND AND DOWNLOAD AUDIO / VIDEO FILES ON THE INTERNET
Everyone downloads a lot of file
(songs, films, photos) everyday, but we never think about copyright. Copyright
is is a
legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original
work exclusive rights to it, usually
for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also
gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine
who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may
financially benefit from it, and other related rights. It is an intellectual property form (like the patent, the trademark, and thetrade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or
information that is substantive and discrete.[1]

Assess the problem of downloading songs from the Internet depends on the purpose, in which an Internet user does this. The law permits the use of single copies disseminated things for only personal use.
Therefore, we can record the video episode series broadcast on TV and we watch it with family, without violate the copyright. If the Internet is widespread song that you are looking for, copy the song into the computer, or save it to another storage medium and then recreate it in the private use is not violate of copyright. Possession
of single copies of the widespread song in memory of the computer or other storage media, does not bring to the holder
negative effects. Another situation is when a song does not distribute among their friends, but on a massive scale.

When we talk about sending files over the Internet, we must remember that, in the Internet distribution of someone else's work without the consent of the author is a violation of copyright.
