Legal and Ethical Issues

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. Basically it is a copyright tool that allows users to share their creativity and knowledge with other people, but also preventing illegal use of your work. For example, selling your work.

I think information like TV, movies and musics SHOULD NOT be free. The movie companies spend months and million of dollars to produce a movie. If it is free to the public, the company wouldn't make any profit. Eventually, the movie industry will fall. Same with the music and TV industries. Although nowadays many people downloading free movies and music from the internet illegally, some people are willing to pay to see a movie or purchase a music CD. 

I think entertainment shouldn't be free, but educational materials should be free. For example, in the reading Open source textbook program expanding in coming months talks about open source texts are compiled using copyright-free materials from a wide variety of sources and can be edited and updated immediately. With the open source textbook program, students will spend lesser money to achieve a higher education.

Security and Privacy

Security and Privacy are important concerns for anyone and we all know that security and privacy on the internet are not 100 percent secured and safe. Especially the information on our social network sites. Most of our information on Facebook are visible to others, this includes our contact information, images we uploaded, and others. For example, In the article: Facebook Privacy Is So Confusing Even the Zuckerberg Family Photo Isn't Private. Zuckerberg posted her family photo on Facebook which only the friends of her can see, but somehow others can access this photo and post it somewhere. From this example, we know that our privacy on Facebook is not secured. The things we thought were suppose to be private are actually could be public to anybody.
