Article about Post Secret and its creator Frank Warren

This blog is written by a published author. He has written and continues to write books about software or code. In this blog post he discusses authorship in terms of open source. He makes an argument about how writing in general should be treated more like open source software is created. I am using his assertions to help development my claims that sites like webook.com are open source communities that allow authors to share ideas.

This article explains how a chain of pawn shops in Texas sued an anonymous John Doe who posted comments on an Internet message board criticizing the chain of shops. The chain thought that the John Doe may have been a former employee. Despite Doe's efforts to protect his identity, the court rejected Doe's motions. This article shows that although Internet users are often thought to have a right to anonymity, the privacy of Internet users is not enforced by law. Actions that are considered criminal offline are also considered unlawful on the Internet. Still, the rulings of cases involving online anonymity are ultimately decisions of the courts they are heard in.

This article from Wikipedia simply defines authorship i a collaborative process. It gives a perspective from an academic point, as well as in an artistic sense. There is a lot of collaborative processes that go on in media or writing today.

This article questions whether online anonymity is truly possible, and if so, whether or not Internet users should be made to take responsibility for their words and or actions. Ultimately, Zack Whittaker, the article's author, states that individuals should be held responsible for their online behaviors in the same sense that they are held responsible for their actions offline.

Under court order, Goggle, the owner of Blogger.com, was forced to reveal the identity of Rosemary Port, who is now suing Goggle for "breach of anonymity." Port clearly felt that her right to remain anonymous had been violated, but does the right to anonymity free Internet users of moral and social responsibility?
