You might have done it?
A beautiful tune,
a smashing movie,
a breath-taking picture,
an appealing text
-everything just a key stroke away.
Cut, paste, and ….
Hold on …..
You just can´t do that? You found something on the Internet, still you can´t just “take” it!
Or can you?
You might be among those thinking downloading stuff from the Internet is OK. It easy, fast. You get what you want for free.
Or you might be the kind of guy who read and understand the full context of the Copyright Act. The law protects the author's works and prohibiting copying intellectual property. Music, movies, pictures, texts and other artistic expression are copyrighted. The act regulates the usage of others´ intellectual property and presupposes consent of usage.
Do you realise that downloading, copying and distributing others´ intellectual property is an act of crime? Some internet sites like Pirate Bay, Limewire, and previously Napster have shared or enabled sharing. They have all been prosecuted for violating the Copyright Act.
Are you among those taking copyright seriously?
I recommend spending less that 4 minutes watching this funny video, which I have found on YouTube, and where the owner has consent me to share it here.
