should the pirate software and movies be banned?

　　market shares of their original counterpart. simthe pirated software means a great loss to the developers of the original software as the former erodes ilarly, when the pirated movies attract more viewers, movie companies find their audience decreasing and accordingly their income down.

　　despite these seeming benefits, the pirated software and movies should be banned, because by nature they represent unfair competition in our economic life. encouraged or left out of control, they would upset normal competition and eventually lead to the breakdown of economic order. software developers would cease to offer products of quality and movie companies would refuse to produce good movies.

　　if all this happened, ultimately customers would have to suffer. therefore, we’d better stop the pirated software and movies
