Legal and Ethical issues


http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/04/01/judge-denies-right-to-resell-itunes-songs-digital-media-still-protected-under-copyright-laws.  


The article "Judge denies right to resell iTunes songs, digital media still protected under copyright laws" was about the copyright of reselling of iTunes songs with the redigi which is  way to buy digital used music.  People are able to sell there songs to other people that want to buy the songs it was ruled against because of the unauthorized transfer of the digital music which is illegal under what is the copyright act.  I think that it is bad to steal songs for the internet but with it being online people are going to go to those sites and find the music they want and download it.  If laws are saying that it can not be done and that some people go to jail for it why is it so easy to find what we want online for free when it is copyrighted.  I think that it should not be available on the internet if it is something that is illegal to do and there should be warning and ways to know about it because someone is downloading without the knowledge of what they are doing.

Privacy and Security

The problem with privacy on the internet is that once it in online anyone can see it.  With facebook they have privacy setting that have the right to let just your friends see it but sometimes it gets confusing as in the article that is "Facebook Privacy Is So Confusing Even the Zuckerberg Family Photo Isn't Private."  When having the internet there are people out there are a cat-fishing which is when someone has a fake social network account and they sometimes use random people pictures which I find really scary.  Just the fact of knowing that someone could be falling in love with a random person that is using my face and pictures scares me.
