Prewrite for essay 3
My paper is about file sharing and I was wondering if I could use this for my thesis; Even though file sharing is popular and a widespread use of the internet, it is an illegal practice that cost the movie industries large amounts of money. One of the main points I want to use is why people file share. People file share because they don't think they can get caught and they want to save money. Another point is what happens when people get caught file sharing. This paragraph will talk about the court cases involving people who got caught file sharing. Also why file sharing can't be shut down. One of the reasons it can't be shut down is because it is not on just one website it goes from computer to computer that uses it. The more people that download something the faster it loads because it is just taking bits and pieces from everyone else who has already downloaded it. Then after that I am going to put the other side of why people think that file sharing is not wrong even though it clearly is. One of the articles I read talked about how this one movie exploded after landing on a file sharing network because so many people who probably would not have saw the movie actually saw it and liked it. So for an unknown movie it can actually do some good. I don't really have a lot done so far but I am working on it. I however find a bunch of sites I just need to figure out a way to put it together.

Keep in mind your thesis should reflect your paper's argument, so as long as the main focus is the money it costs movie industries you're fine. I find it helpful to reexamine my thesis after I have finished writing a paper to make sure it still accurately reflects the paper.
