This can have drastic affects on those in the industry and they will be payed less and worked harder

*3.2 Describe examples of how ideas of multi-platform content have been used to reach new audiences and generate revenue*

However recently the advances in peer to peers file sharing has become a method of sharing copyrighted material such as films, music, video games etc.
