Creating a Piracy Podcast

In our podcast, we used a song at the beginning and the end.  We got the song we used from jingles off of garage band itself.  This is not copyright infringement because the website offered the song for us to use.  The picture we used on our podcast was of us, so there is no copyright infringement involved.  We used picnik.com to edit our photo.  We used Lady Gaga as a resource, and made her say some things on piracy that we felt that she would actually say if she was asked about it. Here is our Podcast
Downloading music can be illegal if you do not do it the right way. If the song is on a public domain, and the artist approves of this, than it is not illegal. Another way that it is not illegal, is if you pay for the song and then download it. It can be wrong if you get the song off of a website like frostwire or any other website that allows you to download popular music for free. Those websites are illegal and you should not use them.
Copyright law should exist because if it did not, the artist of the material would not get what they deserve. Such as a music artist, they work hard on a song, but people start illegally downloading their for free, so they do not get paid the right amount of money for it. Or maybe an artist that draws. They might draw something, put it on the Internet, put a copyright on it, and next thing they know, their drawing is being taken by other people. Copyright law makes sure musicians and artists get the hard earned money they deserve.
Piracy is so prevalent in our society because it is so easy to do. Most of the time, the people associated with piracy don't get in trouble. They do not think it is a big deal, and they do not think about who they are affecting.

If someone used our podcast or picture, I think I would be kind of embarrassed and mad at the same time. The picture is of everyone in the group and the podcast is of us talking about piracy. I would feel as if someone had stolen something from me.
