Conclusion

Due to the new laws there would be a decrease in people that are infringing copyrighted digital files as there are some serious consequences such as the fine of up to $15,000 and people who receive a notice or two would be aware that they could get their internet suspended and most likely stop. 

Although, there is a slight chance that someone like a parent could be unaware that their computer is illegally downloading copyrighted files through software running in the background. 

In conclusion the positive aspects outweigh the negative aspects and therefore beneficial because with there being less people downloading illegally due to the new laws these people will be purchasing the music and videos legitimately which will boost the media industry.

 I recommend that people should not download files illegally through peer to peer file sharing and use websites such as itunes and amazon to make purchases because then you will support the music and film industry.
