Sections read: 4.1-4.3.2
1. (Knowledge)Tell three interesting elements of this chapter:
a. How it is easy to throw away ethical values just but illegal downloading
b. The cases which were sued by companies for copy right infringement
c. How even the use of new technology has its challenges of being used
2. (Comprehension) Summarize what is being discussed within this chapter?
The chapter is talking about copy right infringement, and its intellectual properties, dealing with copy rights and its infringement.
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?
Honestly the problem is in the infringement of the internet and the solution to it, I honestly don’t think there is a solution. The reason why I think that the solution is impossible is because in order to stop illegal downloading you have to cut off the internet completely, which will never happen because catching everyone who illegally downloads is nearly impossible.
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.
From personal experience I remember when I was in high school learning about the constitution and law, and copyright infringement came up as a matter, and we discussed how it is wrong and how it takes away from the artist whom produce these products and it also takes away from appreciating something new and different from you. Copyright infringement is happening all around the world even as you read this, so imagine the millions and billions of people doing this, do you think you can stop them?
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 100% in what is Baase is saying because it takes away from the artist, whom makes the product. It takes away from what’s being produced and from the families of others especially if that’s the way they make a living. Also I agree with what Baase is saying on how things companies being sued for copyright infringement because the facts show that you can’t blame a company if families want to record certain things to watch over and over.
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 much related in today’s society because as I said before infringement is happening right now so how can it be stopped? Now is this ethical to say the least? No its not because its just like the saying goes, you would steal if you know you wouldn’t get caught, and that is exactly what’s happening .
