1. Ellen will use some copyrighted illustrations from her books on the Web site. She will also include themes from the story lines of her books in some of the games that will be available (free) on the site to registered visitors. Prepare a report of about 300 words in which you discuss at least two intellectual property issues that might arise in the operation of the Web site. Intellectual Property (IP) refers to anything created with the mind. This includes inventions, literature, art, symbols/designs used by a business or in violation of a copyright. There are two types of IP, Industrial property and Copyright property. Copyright includes an artists’ performances as well as many other written items and other broadcasted items. If it belongs to the person then it can be considered Intellectual property covered by copyright regulations. Because her website will include images and themes from her books then they will be protected by copyright regulations. She happens to have the advantage because these are her images that are being protected since they will be available across the internet. It is possible to protect the image from being copied from the website but it can still be screen printed or maybe another version of coping it could be used. She needs to protect the games that are protected by copyright from being downloaded or have an agreement with the registered users to not spread the software. Anything that is presented in the Terms of Service for a company or website and agreed to by the individual makes the individual responsible for the agreement. Since she has it so that it is for registered users only then she is helped out because they are required to agree to the terms set forth before they even have access to the protected material.
2. In about 200 words, describe the ethical issues that Ellen faces because of the ages of her intended audience members.

    The article details the growing world of businesses and the law’s need to keep up to regulate new developments. A lot of companies now offer services or products online in some capacity, making them an E-Business. Some companies operate almost entirely online, such as Amazon. Other companies that operate mostly offline, such as Coca Cola, still maintain some sense of presence online. As businesses grow in these capacities, they must protect their intellectual property. Intellectual property is the creative product of a business, often one that generates revenue. Patents, trademarks, and copyrights protect you from other businesses using your products without authorization, as well as protect you from using products that you may not be authorized to use. Though there are some precautions put in place already, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights, Legislation is constantly working to make sure all parties are protected as the world of E-business evolves.…

    When she has no choice but to stay with her aunt by law, she learns that “blood ties do not necessarily nurture” (Makowsky 158). For example, when staying with her aunt Nadine, Ellen gets into an argument with her cousin on Christmas day and says something rude to her, “I told Dora….. If she ever had the sense to take a smart class she might know what I was talking about” (Gibbons 131). Her aunt Nadine walks into the argument and heard Ellen say this, without questioning what happened “She said for me to get out… that she didn’t want me to begin with” (Gibbons 131), and kicks her out on the streets. Being abandoned on Christmas day is not the only abuse Ellen goes through, she is also left with the responsibilities of an adult at the age of eleven. In the novel, Ellen is taken in her grandmother who hates her, and leaves her with huge responsibilities that no child should be left with. For example, Ellen’s grandmother gets very sick and Ellen has no choice but to take care of…

    1. Intellectual Property refers to a number of creations of the mind for which exclusive rights are recognized. This includes inventions, literature, art, symbols, and designs used by a business. With the ease of stealing from the web, copyright laws and intellectual property are important things to consider when creating a web page. Two intellectual property issues that I foresee are the copying or downloading of Ellen’s illustrations and games. Although users should ask before using images or software from a website, it does not always prevent infringement. Since Ellen plans to use her own copyrighted illustrations from her books on the website, she will not infringe others’ intellectual property but will need to consider how to keep her own property from being stolen. Ellen’s idea of having users’ register is a great tool to protect her copyrighted property. This ensures the user must accept and agree to the Terms of Service and can be charged later for improper use and distribution. Ellen should include a Terms of Service agreement, which clearly displays the license terms to the user and which requires the user to actively indicate acceptance of the terms by clicking on "Yes" or "I accept" before the software can be downloaded. Otherwise, there is a risk that the user could get out of being held the terms. Another step to consider is having a part of the website with a paid membership to download screensavers and games. She may also want to take into account the option of converting some of the more popular games to a mobile platform for downloading to receive royalties from mobile device users such as the Nick Jr site displays a link to iPhone apps. Intellectual property rights are a business asset, and are often the most valuable business asset. Any business considering trading on the internet needs to check what intellectual property rights it owns and ensure that it is fully protected.…

These laws are created and managed to prevent others from reproducing work or works created and owned by another person. No one can reproduce, publicly display the work, or distribute the work without the owner’s expressed permission. As a result, the web page author or authors need to be careful not to copy the work of others.…

    What is intellectual property? Intellectual property is the right to protect inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, and images that come from the mind. Intellectual property laws give individuals the exclusive rights to patent his/her own ideas. In the article "Copyright Crusaders" by: David Gibson, David Gibson talks about three claimants who all copyrighted their versions of the same idea. The idea was the "footprints in the sand." The poem is a soft-focus retrospective that imagines life as a walk on the beach with Jesus, a pilgrimage traced by two sets of footprints, the Savior 's and the narrator 's. Further more the article talks about these three claimants battle over royalties to these exclusive rights. In another article called "Hello Cleveland" by: James Surowiecki, James Surowiecki introduces a small town band trying to make it big in the music business. He discusses how it has become so difficult in today 's world to make profit on selling records because of piracy. Intellectual property protects our creative productions and promotes creativity so we can harvest our rewards.…
