Fast-forward to today and people are copying music from Internet sites for their own personal enjoyment as well as to make extra money. These reproductions have resulted in a loss of revenue to numerous artists and have resulted in lawsuits against consumers and businesses who continue to distribute music with no regard for the copyrights. The Case Boston-based company ReDigi designed a way to share or sell music on-line while steering clear of copyright infringement. According to Johnson (2013), the company stated that, “Our technology gives you the tools to access ownership rights to your digital property so that you can sell a used mp3 just as you would sell a used CD should you decide you no longer wish to own it” (para. 3).
Elizabeth Shreve September 20, 2015 Eng 111 4-5:15 Professor Roof Paper 1 Prosecution in the Virtual World Many online gamers will pay for virtual items with real money. Some people want laws in effect for the real world to protect their rights to their belongings. Theft in the virtual world occurs quite often.

This deceived the public but had to be done in order to show what the product is capable of. “He would play some music, take a call, put it on hold and take another all, find and e-mail a photo to the second caller, look up something on the Internet for the first caller and then return to his music.” (Vogelstein 2). This is a lot going on at once and is all available with the Iphone. Jobs pushed his employees to the limit with
This information can be passed on through social websites, blogs, etc. This type of information only makes it easier for someone to harm another human being. Blaming and trying to convict the author is absurd and can be a lengthy court process trying to prove that an author meant for people to use the information to maliciously harm another individual. There’s many ways to accomplish this by using everyday things in our homes, or things that can be obtained at a local grocery store. In the essence to fight crime and deter criminals in using such information, I think starts with social rehabilitation.
Net Child Pornography According to Sex Offenders and the Internet, written by Kerry Sheldon and Dennis Howitt, “child pornography was considered to be a small and specialist issue-an adjunct to the broader problem of pornography of all sorts” (7). However, in the last decade there has been a considerable increase in child pornography. It led to professional and public awareness of internet use in exacerbating child sexual abuse. Ricky Martin is one of the professionals who work to stop the abuse of children worldwide. His foundation “People for Children” raises public awareness and influences public policy makers on issues such as child pornography, prostitution, and labor servitude.
The Advantages of Becoming a Surveillance Society by Rey A. Oquendo Senior Seminar in Criminal Justice Professor Loyal G. Evans 18 July 2010 Introduction Are we becoming a surveillance society? In a society fixated with punishing criminals with severity a new trend is taking the place of traditional prison or jail terms; electronic monitoring (EM). We still want to see our criminals receive the punishment they deserve for committing crimes. The problem we have is that our jails and prisons are so overcrowded that there is no room to house everyone inside. This is where electronic monitoring comes into play.
Digital Piracy (Copyright Infringement) according to the copyright.gov (the US government’s copyright enforcement website) is the reproduction, distribution, performance, public display, or modification of a work without the permission of the copyright owner (U.S. Copyright Office). Copyright infringement has become an increasingly prevalent scourge in today’s society as intellectual material such as music, games, movies, shows and novels are reproduced and distributed illegally without the consent of the creator. I am an advocate of the protection of intellectual material both digitally and otherwise after having written a couple of songs and poems I would not want them to pop up somewhere on the internet without royalty being paid to me. Around the world, people that have access to the internet can download digital content free of charge using peer to peer tools as well as file sharing websites.
The media has a profound impact on lives of an average human as they spend more than 6-7 hours each day exposed to all sorts of media. Music is evidently one of the main types of media but its effects on our brain are often underplayed against that of television or films. Music is a mechanism that produces results that vary in different time periods; music in 1970s is drastically different to that of now. However, the trend that music is following nowadays seems to point towards a less-‘virtuous’ future. This change of morality in the general music industry combined with the increasing influence of media could easily interfere with our moldable youths’ development.
The Tampering of Freedom of Speech In the Media Gilbert Anthony Martinez Charlotte Samuels Political Science 100 November 12, 2011 In this day and age of modern society dealing with an information based civilization, some people and agencies have a hard time with handling new and expressive forms of art and technological materials and due to this, our first amendment rights of freedom of speech are being violated unknowingly to many. We as a people are heavily influenced by the media and multimedia entities such as television, music, film/cinema, video games, the press, and of course the internet which is the fastest tool used in spreading information worldwide. With the extreme advances in technology and complexity, the world is now being exposed to new and astonishing mediums of art, expression, popular culture, and informative material that seem to anger the government, which in turn, policies supporting censorship are enforced or trying to become enforced. With the ever expanding process of technology innovation, these multimedia sources have gained more and more attention and are becoming increasingly more common. In terms of the general public, the media is most commonly understood or perceived as merely a means of entertainment.
