I download, I share Am I Infringe copyrights?_?

With growing popularity of social network and internet in general artistic people get lots of benefits for promoting events around them (concerts, tours, new releases etc) as transmition of information about them into different places even other countries. 
As a result, international debut is not so big deal now e.g. You, as person of art, do not need to wait 10 years or more to give performances abroad. The same for ordinary users, can U ever imagine, for example about 5 years ago, that  right now You, lets imagine, fan of rock music can listen traditional rock`n roll with big portion of hardcore in japanese interpretation? 
However, there are incredible rock bands from Japan who can play american rock`n roll at motherland  with similar fresh and aggressive style with such fancy and bright shows. Just to prove it, find videos of japanese band VAMPS and you will understand what I mean ^_- In english interpretation it named as Jrock.


You can ask: What is she talking about ? What kind of relation this intro has with copyright issues?
And I will tell you, directly important and straight.
Just to remind you  America is the first country in the world by releasing all kinds of music. But, do you know who are on the second place by music releases in the world? Japan, this country, no doubt, has one of the best bands of all kinds of music in the world and  best good looking of artists as best concerts and performances, all this things assign to Japan deservedly.

However, problems with copyright issues face to the japanese artists more than anyone else.

Of course, this point can be defensible with farness of Japan from other world, on the other hand music is something that unite people from dateless time and here question : "How?" is relevant. 

Moreover, internet in this aspect is helpful as nothing else. You can order albums, singles or even merchendise and tickets to the concerts online the same as you do within your own country. However, people prefer to download music, enjoy DVD`s of the concerts instead of visited as just look at merchemdise or, even, try to do by themselvs in favour of order and wait. And in this case, is it really infinge of copyrights??? In fact now, in the web there is a specific Filesharing Act of Ethical Issues which can justify you in face of all owners of that property. As a result be wise when somebody try to treat you as a theif because you download from the web, because nowadays different business PR companies that deal with music production can use as persuasion which affects you to buy.

Moreover, to read more opinions about that you can on Electronic Frontier Foundation who also specialise about filesharing problems. 

 To conclude, return to the question in the head,  on my opinion, you can answer by yourself, are you really break somebodys copyrights or you do not give them oppotunity to get earn extra money...
