I do think that the lawsuit against Brianna LaHara was fair; she technically stole over a thousand songs. I do feel that it is a bit unfair that there was a law suit against a 12 year old, but also she needed it to be done now before she got herself into some real trouble when she was older. If it was me in this situation, I would just give myself over to them and confess what I did. I do not think it is a reasonable program at all. I am not one for having that fear constantly eating at the back of my brain, so I would rather just face the consequences. If I knew I was at such risk for arrest and lawsuits, I would turn myself in voluntarily. There are too many risks, and cases already made against this subject. According to CBS News, a woman in 2009 illegally downloaded TOO much music! She shared copyrighted music online and levied $222,000 in damages against her. She even had to pay the six record companies that sued her $9,250 for each of 24 songs they focused on in the case.

    Banning File Sharing Research Paper

    In an article found in Just do IP (Issue 42, August 25, 2000) Talal Shamoon states, "People are copying music because they feel somewhat disenfranchised with the options they have at their disposal in the digital space. It's up to the content industry to create value in the digital arena and they've made phenomenal steps in that direction." District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel ruled in favor of the Recording Industry Association of America (http://www.riaa.com/) (RIAA) regarding the Napster copyright case, based on the size of the violation that was taking place. Judge Patel directed Napster to stop its song-swap activities. An online survey reported that sixteen percent of the people surveyed supported the claim that Napster was in violation of regulations and should be shut down. Fifty seven percent believed it was unrealistic to try to control the free exchange of music. Sixty percent of Napster users said that they would not be stop downloading music even if it were determined to be illegal. Eighty tree…

    According to Descartes, Rationalism is an epistemological position in which reason is said to be the primary source of all knowledge, superior to sense evidence. In other words, rationalism is the idea that people need to have some sort of reasoning to back up their ideas. Nobody is going to believe you just because you said it, you have to provide evidence. Rationalists believe that abstract reasoning can produce absolute truths about nature and existence in general which relates to his idea of the coherence theory of truth and how evidence is required for ideas to be made. An ontological argument is an argument that attempts to prove the existence of God by referring to the meaning of the word or by referring to the purportedly unique quality of the concept that is God. An example of this argument is the Pros logion of St. Anselm where the monk tried to provide Christian documentation for the existence of god. The relationship between C1 and C2 can be identified as a part-whole relationship where C2 can be considered part of C1. The reason being is because C2 refers to this idea of god and how people using different doctrines try to prove this existence but in order to prove his existence you have to include this idea of rationalism because you need some sort of evidence and reasoning behind the idea in order for people to understand your point. An example of C1 could be from an experiment we did in science class when I was in 5th when we filled up a glass with water and put a straw in it. The reason this experiment relates to the idea of rationalism is because when you look at the straw after placing it in the cup, it looks like that the straw is broken or cracked because of the light refraction, but you understand that it is not broken or cracked.…

    Up on Downloading

    Elaine McArdle said, “The music industry is struggling with a full blown crisis”. What could possibly be pushing the music industry into a crisis one might ask, illegally downloading free music. In the essay, Up on Downloading, three Harvard Law School professors are trying to come up with different solutions to this problem that is occurring. Now that our technology has become so advanced, many people are figuring out ways to cheat the system, and when people are not paying for the music they have downloaded, the artist is not getting paid. Artists are not the only one losing money but everyone involved producing the music is losing money as well. There is also less and less people going out and buying CD’s. I could probably not even remember the last time I purchased a CD. So how are the artists and producers suppose to make money when we are stealing from them? Zittrain, Nesson, and Fisher believe they could possibly have the solution to save the music industry.…
