Nowadays,the problem of piracy has become more and more serious. Books,tapes,VCDs and others high-tech products have been pirated. For instance,when a new product comes onto market,most probably,its pirated counterpart will soon put on its appearance in the market,too. Piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers,inventors and writers in many ways. To start with,the pirated products often cost much less than the genuine ones so that they enjoy a better trading position in spite of their relatively poor quality. The genuine products,on the contrary,sell poorly. What's worse,pirated books sometimes do great harm to the authors'reputation due to some misprints. In the long run,pirated products may have a negative impact on customers. Those legitimate producers'creativity and enthusiasm may be deeply hurt by the fact that some customers are more interested in the pirated products for the sake of small gains. In my opinion,it's high time that everyone started the battle against piracy.First,customers should develop their consciousness to resist the pirated products. Second,the government should take effective measures to put an end to piracy. Finally,laws must be strictly enforced to completely ban piracy. Only in this way can we wipe the pirated products out of our life.

如今，盗版问题变得越来越严重。书籍，磁带，光盘和其他高科技产品已盗版。例如，当一个新产品出现在市场上，最有可能的是，它的盗版产品很快就会出现在市场上。盗版行为在许多方面给合法的生产者、发明家和作家造成了巨大的损失。首先，盗版产品通常要比那些正版的要低得多，以至于他们在质量相对较低的情况下享有较好的交易地位。相反，真正的产品卖不好。更糟糕的是，盗版书有时危害巨大，由于一些作者错误的观点。从长远来看，盗版产品可能会对客户产生负面影响。那些合法的生产者的热情，也许是因为有些客户是在盗版产品为了少的收益更感兴趣，深深的伤害了。在我看来，每个人都开始了打击盗版的斗争，第一，客户应该发展他们的意识，抵制盗版产品。其次，政府应采取有效措施，结束盗版。最后，法律必须严格执行，完全禁止盗版。只有这样，我们才能把盗版产品从我们的生活中抹去。
