Copyright & Fair Use Policy!!

There are many things that we do on a regular basis online, that are against the law but we do them anyways.  But there are many things that we do without thinking that we’re even doing them.  We never really pay close attention or even notice that there are copyrights and fair use policies on everything.  I believe that copyrights and fair use policies are quite straightforward.  Especially when it comes to teenagers being bored cause they tend to go online and just bully other kids or people threw like facebook comments and or posts, threw text messages, and threw twitter, as well.  I definitely know about cyberbullying from personal experiences in my past because I was cyberbullied through this site called myspace, that cyberbullying put me in a deep depression and it was hard to get myself out of it.  I feel that cyberbullying is wrong and that the government should have a law against cyberbullying online and or even at school.  I think that netiquette is in basic terms is the rules, guidelines, and it’s basically doing the right thing while you’re online.  Netiquette is the respect and the way you treat other people in person, but instead it would be online in this scenario.

            I definitely have learned that copyrights are basically mainly put in many different ways for when you can copy something the right way and or the wrong way.  I also just found out that you can get pirated copies of different types of software and many kinds of movies or videos that you can download online without paying for them, which is against the law and it’s a felony to copyright something that way because it’s also the wrong way.  And I also learned that many people have there own forms of netiquette and not all forms of netiquette are all exactly the same.  So those are the many things that I think about when it comes to copyrights, fair use, cyberbullying, and netiquette.
