1. (Knowledge)Tell three interesting elements of this chapter:
a. Viacom claimed that people viewed clips from its cable TV channels on You Tube 80,000 times per day.
b. Entertainment companies are losing income and potential income they could earn from their intellectual property.
c. Some countries traditionally have not recognized or protected intellectual property, including copyrights, patents, and trademarks.
2. (Comprehension) Summarize what is being discussed within this chapter?
This sections in the chapter talks about international piracy, video sharing, free software by explaining in dept the how piracy has affected many entertainment companies as well as other companies that piracy has affected their income. Also, the section talks about rules and laws that are implemented to prevent piracy.
3. (Application)Name a specific example or NEW solution for this type of problem/similar situation in society or that you have experienced – be specific and explain?
A specific example of how intellectual property of other are being abused is going on YouTube and finding new episode of Family Guy before it airs on National TV.
4. (Analysis)Address ANY that apply. How can you compare one of the situations in this chapter to something that does not relate to computers, technology, or the Internet? Be sure to reference the chapter and your solution. What ideas NEW can you add to the issue that is being presented within the reading? Try to connect what you have by reading this article and how it applies to the stages in Bloom's taxonomy in 2 full sentences.
The situations in these section relates to computers, technology, or the Internet. This is because this sections all focus on intellectual property and how it’s hard to stop piracy on the Internet and other means of publication. New idea I can add on the issue presented in the reading is how companies should employ people that will browse the web and remove any of its property that is being exploited.
5. (Synthesis) Address all that apply. Do you agree with what is being said within the article (Why/Why not? Back up with FACTS)? What new conclusions can you draw about this (or other topics) after reading this material?
I agree with the reading, because the reading focused and talked about regulations that are made to protect others property. New conclusion I can draw about the reading is how DRM prevents fair uses as well as infringing uses. Also that DRM which is to protect companies does not really protect them which make it hard to prevent people from copying reproducing others work.
6. (Evaluation) Address all that apply. Judge whether or not this topic is relevant in today’s society? Evaluate why you are viewing the topic in this manner based on your experiences. What ethical evaluations (see Chap1-1.4 for exp of Ethics) or decisions were made/can be assumed from this chapter? What new ideas will you make after reading this chapter?
This topic is very relevant in today’s society because of the in-depth explanation made about how piracy is on the raise and how most companies are losing income than to make income. I am viewing this topic in this manner due to past experience with downloading music from the web without paying. After reading this chapter I
Have gained the knowledge about how downloading a video or music with a copyright protection on is illegal and I can face sentence up to 7 years.
