Copyright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other related rights. It is a form of intellectual property (like the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.[clarification needed][1]

10 Best Rules of Netiquette - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com - 3 views

  • 2. No "Flaming": Flaming is a form of verbal abuse when you intentionally attack or disrespect somebody for whatever reason.
  • Good internet etiquette (netiquette) is all about being courteous to others online to make the internet a fun experience for everyone.
  •  
    "1.The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. This rule is an oldie but a goodie and can get you through just about any situation, online or off! 2. No "Flaming": Flaming is a form of verbal abuse when you intentionally attack or disrespect somebody for whatever reason. Maybe you didn't agree with something they said, but there's a nice way to share a different point of view without name calling or attacking someone. Harassing or insulting someone will not likely help you gain many online friends! 3. Respect Others' Copyrights: There are wonderful things online, information for everyone on just about any topic! However, these things have copyrights and licenses. Copying the works of someone else without permission or saying it is your own will not only ruin your online reputation, but could land you with hefty fines and lawsuits! 4. DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS: It hurts our eyes. It makes people think you are shouting at them. It's okay to type in caps to accentuate a word or two, but please don't do it all the time everywhere you go. 5. Don't Spam: As a blog owner, I get hundreds of spam messages each day. Most of them aren't even legible, with things like "kjhgsawu" typed in the comments and links to sites with adult or inappropriate content. I don't appreciate it! Some spammers are getting really sneaky, as they use the same generic post over and over again like "I really like your blog" - if you own multiple blogs like I do though you can quickly identify these types of spammers! There's a fine line between spam and self-promotion, do it very carefully! "

  • Digital Etiquette 1. Here is some tips that you should follow when talking online, texting, or emailing: 2. Say Hello before you start talking. It’s polite and it can make somebody happy knowing that somebody is nice enough to say hello. 3. Try to avoid replying “Sure”. A person will go crazy trying to figure out “Sure” what? Also, depending on who you are talking to online, the person may know little of your language and might not understand what you are saying, so be patient. 4. Avoid trailing off. If you stop responding to somebody all of the sudden they might think you’re ignoring them. If you have to go and do something say “BRB” or “one sec”. It will calm any worries, which the person has, who you are communicating to. 5. Don’t post people’s photos without their permission. Somebody might have a religion where they're not allowed to have they're pictures online. 6. Accept differences. Everybody has different beliefs. Don’t make fun of somebody’s religion or country because people can really get offended about what you say. 7. Talk about things that are appropriate. Chat rooms are for anyone who wants to talk to new people. One inappropriate comment can ruin it for everyone. You should always be aware to whom you are talking to and if they ask you to do anything which you feel uncomfortable about then tell an adult immediately so then the problem won't get out of hands. 8. Say bye before you leave the person whether its in person or online. You could seriously hurt somebody’s feelings if you just stop talking to them. 9. Be careful the way you type something. What you write can sound very different than what you mean. Read your writing before you press send. It could save you from an embarrassing situation. 10. Avoid writing in all capital letters. It looks like you're shouting. Wouldn't you think I was shouting if you saw this, DON'T WRITE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

  • Digital Etiquette or netiquette is a basic set of rules you should follow to make the internet a better place for other people and yourself.
  • When you instant message, chat, or email someone over the internet, that person can't tell if your just joking because they can't see your face. Don't say stuff over the internet that can be taken the wrong way or can hurt someones feelings
  • The internet takes over some peoples lives and people can get brain washed so easily when on the computer. Hacking other computers, using bad language, downloading illegally, and plagiarism are examples of having bad or no etiquette when it comes to the internet.
  • Etiquette is a set of rules dealing with exterior form
  • Middle/ High School Aged Students Teenagers these days are only on the internet to chat with their friends they know, or to look at cool videos or pictures.Myspace and Facebook are easy ways for teenagers to get access to the internet. These two websites have caused a lot of controversies over the internet because some teenagers will put bad pictures on the internet of themselves or other people. Every once in a while fights will occur between people who are trying to make each other look bad. It gives them a bad reputation and it ruins friendships all over the world. I just think that if teenagers would act mature then a lot of these things would not happen.
  • Online plagiarism is where internet users copy or use part of your or someone else's work. It is definitely not acceptable and is becoming a major issue. People need to have the right to place information on the internet knowing that it will not be copied for other people's work. Plagiarism is illegal but people still don't get the message. Plagiarism really could start major problems like people not writing the truth on the internet or making up information just to teach people a lesson. If someone is going to copy other people's work really they are better off handing the work in late or not at all. Using people's ideas is okay if you give them recognition or asked them. Plagiarism is equal to lying, if not worse. People are being generous by putting their knowledge on the internet to help people not to do it for people. Have courtesy and respect- don't copy peoples work use it as a guide and acknowledge them for their work and help. Plagerism- it's illegal so do the right thing.
  • ownloading illegally is one of the things not do in digital etiquette. Using file sharing programs such as KaZaA, Bit Torrent, iMesh, and Lime Wire to share or obtain copyrighted music, movies, games, and other software without the permission of the copyright holder is illegal. Stealing music has lots of effects once done. Some of the effects are listed below. Stealing music is against the law. Stealing music betrays the songwriters and recording artists who create it. Stealing music stifles the careers of new artists and up-and-coming bands. Stealing music threatens the livelihood of the thousands of working people—from recording engineers to Christian music retailers and their staffs —who are employed in this ministry.
  • Downloading Illegally
  • Some ways on avoiding stealing music are: Read user agreements carefully. Check the Web sites of the musicians, record companies, or movie studios to see if they allow distribution of their materials on the Internet. When purchasing music, movies, games, software, or other materials, read the license carefully to learn if you have permission to convert materials to other formats for personal use. Don't share or distribute materials unless you have permission. Of course, there are consequences to this kind of action. For one you can be fined of at least $500 dollars. The online infringement of copyrighted music can be punished by up to 3 years in prison and $250,000 in fines," the website said. "Repeat offenders can be imprisoned up to 6 years. Individuals also may be held civilly liable, regardless of whether the activity is for profit, for actual damages or lost profits, or for statutory damages up to $150,000 per infringed copyright. " To avoid these kinds of consequences you must avoid downloading illegally. I suggest that you follow the ways on avoiding these sort of consequences.
  • Some people have had both positively and negatively affected by internet etiquette. An example of negative etiquette on the internet is like if a person copies somebody's work without their permission and then the person who got copied goes and deletes that person's work
  • Don't type in all caps it looks like you're shouting which can offend some people which are on the other end of the computer because when you are talking to a person in face its easier to get your point across than talking online. Also if you try to do humor on the computer someone might not know that it is humor, and might take it as personal and you can get in trouble in all sorts of ways. Another thing is don't send rude messages or offensive e-mails to one another. It bad manners and it can get way out of hand in no time. Although you might be a pro at cyberspace be nice to the new comers. For a new comer on computers it is like learning a different language for them. Computers take a lot of practice and it is also called for mistakes. So be nice to everyone you meet and also try to help them if you can.
  • Another example is if you do something very funny and one of your friends got you on video tape and he goes and posts it on YouTube

Internet Addiction : Counseling Center : Texas State University - 0 views

  • Internet addiction? Sounds unlikely, right? How can the use of a positive, dynamic force like the Internet become a negative, debilitating factor in someone’s life. Simple. Just like the use of food, the drinking of alcohol, or the purchasing of material things can escalate into misuse and abuse, so can one’s interest in and preoccupation with using the Internet become an addiction. Let’s take a look at several key facets of this developing phenomenon of Internet Addiction, starting with a basic definition which is taken from Dr. Kimberly B. Young’s book Caught in the Net.
  • Do you feel preoccupied with the Internet (think about previous on-line activity or anticipate next on-line session)? Do you feel restless, moody, depressed, or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop Internet use? Do you stay on-line longer than originally intended? Have you jeopardized or risked the loss of significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of the Internet? Have you lied to family members, therapist, or others to conceal the extent of involvement with the Internet? Do you use the Internet as a way of escaping from problems or of relieving a dysphoric mood (e.g., feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, depression)?
  • Although any one of us can become addicted, some trends do exist. Some people are drawn to a “faceless community,” one where a person can enter into multiple cyber-relationships with anonymity and create one or multiple new on-line personas. Certainly persons with quite a lot of discretionary time on their hands are susceptible, including homebound people or college students adjusting to the new schedule on a university campus. Gender does seem to influence the types of applications and underlying reasons for Internet addiction. Men tend to seek out power, status, dominance and sexual fantasy on-line, gravitating more toward the sources of information glut, aggressive interactive games, and sexually explicit chat and cyber-porn sites. Women seek out supportive friendships, romantic partners, and prefer anonymous communication in which to hide their appearance. It seems to be a natural conclusion that attributes of gender played out in Cyberspace parallel the stereotypes men and women have in our society.

UWC Online - Online Etiquette - 1 views

  • Given the absence of face-to-face clues, written text can easily be misinterpreted. Avoid the use of strong or offensive language and the excessive use of exclamation points. If you feel particularly strongly about a point, it may be best to write it first as a draft and then to review it, before posting it, in order to remove any strong language.
  • If someone states something that you find offensive, mention this directly to the instructor. Remember that the person contributing to the discussion is also new to this form of communication. What you find offensive may quite possibly have been unintended and can best be cleared up by the instructor.
  • Although electronic communication is still young, many conventions have already been established. DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS. This is regarded as shouting and is out of place in a classroom. Acronyms and emoticons (arrangements of symbols to express emotions) are popular, but excessive use of them can make your message difficult to read. Some common ones include:
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Messages may often appear perfectly clear to you as you compose them, but turn out to be perfectly obtuse to your reader. One way to test for clarity is to read your message aloud to see if it flows smoothly. If you can read it to another person before posting it, even better.
  • You may be familiar with many of the previous points if you have participated in other forms of electronic communication in the past. But Web-based courses have some added constraints not present in other arenas. Keep in mind these additional four points:
  • Be as concise as possible when contributing to a discussion. Web-based courses require a lot of reading, and your points might be missed if hidden in a flood of text. If you have several points that you want to make, it might be a good idea to post them individually, in several more focused messages, rather than as a single, lengthy, all-encompassing message.
  • Contributions to a discussion should have a clear subject header, and you need to stick to the subject. Don't waste others' time by going off on irrelevant tangents.
  • Don't add your comments to a discussion before reading the comments of other students unless the assignment specifically asks you to. Doing so is tantamount to ignoring your fellow students and is rude. Comments related to the content of previous messages should be posted under them to keep related topics organized, and you should specify the person and the particular point you are following up on.
  • A key distinguishing feature of an online course is that communication occurs solely via the written word.
