That is not to say that uploading or downloading copyrighted document without permission is legal.

Piracy is the matter of both the law and ethics in researching. Moreover, the downside of these “free”
documents is that the content is likely to be out of date or altered and this could seriously affect one’s
education. But unfortunately, many educational institutions are not doing much to proactively provide
students with the researching documents; thus, most students have no choice but to download
documents online.

In summary, there should be more open resources for the reason that most student are not financially
stable and charging them fee for downloading materials could hindrance their study . Meanwhile, we
should not underestimate the piracy’s negative effects. By doing so, we can ensure that students are
provided sufficient resource for their academic path.
