Illicit

Illicit was an eye opener of what has been going on in this world for a long time. The average person may not have known the consequences of making a simple purchase of a copy of a purse or a DVD, or a copy of anything in general. It is really amazing on how much capital can be made from this underground trade and how it is affecting our global economy. It also fuels the pocket books of illegal organizations all around the world, putting money in the pockets of real schemers. Making a copy of intellectual property violates the basic law of taking away something that someone else created and making a profit from it, it’s called stealing. It seems like an impossible task to end this kind of criminal activity. Maybe if people around the world become more aware of where and who this money supports they might change their mind. So much of the money corrupts to the highest levels of governments. The thing is that no matter how much money is out there to be made people will always want more. These people don’t even care what happens to other people. Well, there is still a long way to go to win this battle because we have become a global society, these organizations have ties all around the world. The underworld also have been making money for a long period of time, investments accrue interest then making their buying power more powerful. Once you have so much money, it makes you untouchable; unless there are drastic changes on how the world ethically views how you make a profit. I know that I will not be able to live with myself knowing that I made a few bucks on the lives of others, neither will my mother.
