Legal and Ethical issues.

Piracy, computer crime, and IS misuse at the university

I like this reading beacuse it is abouy what i do. Many students illegally dowload stuff from the internet.  But should it be penalized?? My opinion is no. Most of the stuff that we must pay a lot for should be free. I know that you can't have everything but some prices for software are ridiculous.I think that people will keep downloading stuff ilegally because we are not getting the stuff for free anytime soon.

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that lets you share and create through legal tools.

  2. This is definitely a tricky issue. I do believe intellectual capital is worth something. The person who put their hard work into a paper or software or music should definitely be compensated for it or at least have a say as to whehter or not they want to allow their information to be downloaded free.
