Warning! you can be punished!

As much as the IT industry develops, IP hacking problem also have been increasing as well. I have thought that probably in future, we will use 18 letters of IP address instead of using of 12. Because 12 letters is too former to us to remember and it has to be more complicated.

Actually IP address is sort of same case of home address if you use a laptop of desktop in your home with Internet because IP, itself is your personal computer’s(PC) direct address. A lot of computer users are trying to reduce or protect their information and documents located in their computer by terrible hackers. In other words, using illegal websites or others will welcome hackers to your PC to erase your valuable files or documents.

Therefore, what the good method to protect our information is? I think that another problem is illegal download of music, movie, video or other many kinds of files from hidden or illegal downloading websites. If we download some files by using illegal websites, our IP address can be exposed to other internet users or hackers who are interested in anybody’s information.

                In United States, if a person is caught by cyber cops by illegal downloads; the user’s internet speed of home will be slowed in few percentages of original speeds; it will be a warning. This system called as “Copyright Alert System” and the AT&T, Cable Vision, Comcast, Verizon and some enterprises of Hollywood agreed with this agreement. Plus, this system is base on six levels that first time, if illegal behavior will be searched, e-mailing or a bit of warning will announced to users, but if the user does not stop to use, whole web sites will be restricted to use or the internet speeds tardy.

However, if a person is very skillful about computer system, they can change the IP address to avoid some restriction and the popular way to change IP address is Virtual Private Network (VPN). VPN is a network that uses primarily public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or traveling users’ access to a central organizational network. Therefore, if the user change its original IP address by VPN, the illegal website will be fine to use again with small prices.

These are some ways that I think to solve the illegal problems to protect hackers. First, the copyright examination should be installed in portal web sites automatically whether the file is good or bad, secondly not only up loader but also down loaders have to be punished, so I do consider that the punishment should be stronger than before with extreme dreadful law convention and all people in the world have to keep to use legal download with money.
