     Today's society is changing at a fast pace, technology is also developing in our society. So there are lots of free items such as music, news, book. We can share and use these free items whenever and wherever we want. Wikipedia is one of free contents in our society. This free culture is useful for many people but I think there are many problem about free culture. As we can get free contents easily, we can share to other people even though this content has a copyright. It is kind of infringement of copyright but many people don't recognize that this is illegal. In my case, I also enjoy using free contents such as music, book and news. Some contents has copyright, but I don't know which one has copyright or not because many people share it on the internet. This can be in legal trouble because some people earn money through copyright on the internet.

With technology getting better, many people can get free contents easily and the boundaries between free contents and copyright contents are collapsing. If this circumstance continue, this matter will create many problems in our society.
