Section VI Writing（15 points）
With more and more people having computers, CDs,
VCDs or even DVDs have become common things in our
life. As some software programs have begun to enter a
big market, some people tried to make pirated software for
profits and the pirated software has affected the market
already.
The reasons why pirated software has run wild are as follows.
First, there is a huge profit behind it. Each pirated disc will
produce 200％ net profit. Second, there is no strict law to
control the production and distribution of pirated software.
That last reason is that education or publicity has fallen
behind. People are not aware of the harm which pirated
software would bring to the market and thus they would like
to become the purchaser of such kind of software.
In my opinion, our government should take strong action.
To begin with, a law has to be worked out, and those who
produce or sell pirated software should be severely punished.
Only in this way, will the matter be brought under control.（172w)
