Should copyright law be applied on over the world?
      Recently the illegal copy action is spreading widely in countries especially undeveloped countries including our country-Viet Nam although the copyright law is already applied and does our country too. Now that easy finding a book, CD or DVD we want with a cheap price in almost retail outlets is quite familiar with everyone. It becomes one of the reasons encourages the illegal copiers while do we-consumers who like buying products with the cheapest prices aware of that is stealing the one’s creation taking the author for a long time or maybe all their lifetime with all their intelligence and patience. I strongly agree with being applied the copyright law on over the world because of some reasons below.
      The most important of applying the copyright law on over the world is that both the creation and author’s right that come from wherever in the world are recognized and protected not only in one’s country but almost countries do. ‘People are created equal’ that is a phrase in the declaration of independence of many countries such as America and Viet Nam. It means people are equal in being living, freedom and love and of course also including the right of creation and protection the creation. These rights now are clarified in the copyright law. Thanks to the copyright the creation is protected from copying although the author registers the copyright or not. It means the creation can be avoided stealing or the same ideas. In addition, the author’s right is strongly protected. Spending money, intelligence, and even most of his lifetime on a creation, the author has the right to get the equivalent result with his achievement such as the improving in expert, money, and even the fame, which also gives the creator motivations in creation. Anyone wants to use this creation must pay amount of money for author’s permission. The software recently is a typical example of the copyright. Most corporations of software use the protective program for their products such as remembering the code of the computer it has been installed to avoid being used more than one time. If we want to use this software twice, we still have to pay for use again except products for free trial. Besides that, the user can access and use legally these creations for making life to be more comfortable and convenient without worry of being detected by the suppliers. To modify, Edison is a well-known example. He created hundreds inventions such as telephone or electric light which are basic but indispensable to our daily lives. Therefore, the payment is not our voluntary action but our responsibilities. How do our lives become if the creations are stopped? It makes both the equality between the suppliers and consumers and also progressive outlook of intellectual property protection for man leading to develop the society. Thanks to this law, the creation as well as the author’ right will be protected in any country at any time instead of one’s country.

      In addition, basing on the copyright law the national budget is more enriched and the copies’ quality is more concerned. If the copyright law isn’t applied, people can easily copy any resource they access without paying any money for permission, which leads not only the creator but also the national budget to be at a loss because of the tax evaders. Furthermore, the government also meets difficult in controlling the publishing such as the number and appraising the quality of products due to a large number of products is being copied and sold every day over the control of the government due to the regulation of supply and demand. A research shows that the most popular choice of the consumer is the copies of some famous books or songs created by famous composers, etc with a low price without the name of publisher rather than the high quality. We the consumers as well as the citizens with the progressive outlooks are approving of illegal copying which makes economic management become less developed and ordered. That we the selfish consumers without care of the quality as well as the creator’s effort try to buy with the lowest price gives the tax evaders chances to continue publishing these with poor quality over the control of the government. This problem needs considering seriously by all people educated on the aspect of a citizen as well as a person who use some one’s intellectual property.
      Facing the fact that undeveloped countries such as South Africa, east Timor or Viet Nam are so pretty poor that they can afford to apply the copyright law because of its expense, there is a thought that the copyright law just should be applied in the developed countries not all over the world. In fact, we can’t deny that the undeveloped countries now have to face up to many difficulties in economics, the military especially in finance and education. Applying the copyright law will put more pressure on the illiterate elimination leading to more burden in developing these countries. However, ‘nothing is impossible’. Not only the undeveloped countries but also developed countries have to deal with these same common problems. Solving the problem on their own forces themselves must do their best to overcome these problems, which strengthens the belief of themselves and even their ability. The Japanese is a typical example for the persevering thought. Marking the end of the first war by 2 atomic bombs released in Hirosima and Nagasaki, Japan began to recover from the most serious property and spirit damages so far and even the enormous war debt, they with their strong mind built up their country again on their own hand. Now, it becomes the second powerful country in the world. This shows that only with the strong inner force-the citizen force can lead a country to a stable development instead outside force. Furthermore, that the copyright law isn’t applied on over the world leads to the unfair society. When the copyright law is just only applied in a part of the world it means the intellectual properties aren’t protected by the rest of the world while these intellectual properties are being used in all the countries. The respect and protection of human right must be the factors of keeping the balance as well as the development of the communities.
      Whether we live in the east or west continents, the copyright law should be applied on over the world to protect the creator’s and creation’s right.
