For Lesson 2 of our infocomm studies, we were asked to participate in a forum activity, which were broken down into 3 different categories: social impact on new media technologies, ethical issues on media usage and intellectual property and blog / website differences.
The forum category I'm supposed to do is the topic on "Ethical issues on media usage". For this topic, we are supposed to watch a youtube video on "Copy not right". The youtube video shows that copyrighted items should not be taken without permission from the owner. However, it also states that if information was to be extracted for only personal use, it would then not be illegal and we are then allowed to retrieve our information from the source. Unauthorised use and downloading of copyrighted materials for commercial advantage or to a significant extend is illegal and offenders may face a consequences of fining, imprison or both.
