interactive ethnics copyright

copyright is the protection of phsical expression of an idea, when the idea takes form like a picture, paintings and then its protected under copyright law. with in the copyright law there are 3 moral rights:

The right of attribution – the creator of a work has the right to be identified as such
The right of integrity – the work may not be altered or changed without consent
False Attribution – a work cannot be attributed to a creator falsely

the problem with interactive media is that there is so much content on the internet that is under the protection of the copyright laws. images and videos from accross the web have all got some form of copyright but there are a small amount of images and videos and other content that you can use in your webs sites and and so on but must give credit to the creator. but the internet is making finding out what copyright rights on a peace of content very hard to find and in so a lot of people just don't care were they get there images, videos and other physical objects. the other problem is that its almost impossible to monitor the internet, and stop people putting up ilegal content.

illegal downloading is harming the industry and as this damage is taking affect music, moves and video games will slowly stop being produced as a result of not making enough money. the industry will collapse and millions of people with jobs with in the media industry will lose them which in turn will destroy the economy so the moral of illegal down loading is extreamly wrong.

downloading content from the internet illegally is like stealing cars if people keep stealing them the companys will stop making them because they are not making enough money.

Creative Commons is a prince able like copyright but allows the original creator choice what people can do with there copyright allowing them to give people the capability to use there media in other work. most of the time with the Creative Commons they use it to allow people to edit or modify there work, which is good for the internet.

if there were no laws like copyright there would be no media as we no today as large companys cant make any profit, so alot of the video games and music wouldn be avaiable to purchase like it is today.

Privacy

privacy and user information online has been in the media spotlight for many difrent reasons and the issue of someones private life online is certainly being used by the media at the moment. especialy with the news about super injunction hitting a all time high as people are now getting interested in the new way that the rich and famous can hide there secrets, but one of the most biggest problem is that the average person cant afford an injunction.
but there are arguments that when people place content online on sites like facebook and then complain that everyone has access to it even thou they put it online for everyone to see .whereas others will still say no matter what it is always you still have the human right to complete privacy online.
