    *Why copyright violations are serious problem?
  •  
    Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Major entertainment companies are losing millions and billions or money due to these copyright violations. More people are turning to online pirated goods instead of buying legitimately. These companies who are losing their profits are not happy about this problem. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. One advantage is that pirated download saves you a lot of money. You wouldn't have to spend any money downloading these stuffs. Another advantage is that you can mass download it or download just some parts of it. For example if I wanted to listen to only one song of an album I can just download it off the internet for free, I wouldn't have to buy the real Cd which costs quite a lot of money and listen to only one song. Most artists today sell their Cd's for a high price but the qualities of their songs are not so high plus one Cd usually contains only 5 to 8 tracks. Comparing with the old times, one Cd contains about 15 to 20 tracks and it would still cost less and the songs do have good quality. An issue to this is that it is illegal. Downloading pirated goods are not so different from shoplifting or stealing. These goods have owners which the owners are willing to sell them but we who download them illegally are just taking them for granted. Another issue is that if this continues then the companies will not make as much many as before. This of course would affect the artists, celebrities, directors etc., directly. It can cause problems with jobs. If those people do not make money, then there would be no jobs. There are many jobs in the entertainment business which can be destroyed by this issue. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. One possible solution is to make it legal to download pirated goods. It may be the best solution possible at this moment. Many people are agreeing that it should be legal when it comes to downloading pirated goods. The enterta

    1. What evidence does Google present for Chinese government censorship? Google says that Chinese customers and advertisers have increasingly been complaining about their Gmail service in the past month. Attempts by users to send messages, mark messages as unread and use other services have generated problems for Gmail customers. Google shows potential signs that the Chinese government is increasing their censorship by revealing that Gmail's e-mailing system features have been disrupted for Gmail users as well as other Gmail interfaces such as sending e-mails. Google also reveals that the users who filed in these complaints are mostly potential threats to the Chinese government such as the activist accounts also with financial, technology, media and chemical companies users' accounts. Thus, even though there is no concrete evidence, there are signs that are most likely to be linked to the Chinese government. 2. How does this impact the Jasmine revolution? The move follows extensive attempts by the Chinese authorities to crack down on the Jasmine revolution, an online dissident movement inspired by events in the Middle East. The censorship was supposed to prevent people from getting too much information but instead, this can provoke people to go against the government since people are aware that they have been treated unfairly. 3. Describe LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site. LinkedIn operates the world's largest professional network on the Internet with more than 100 million members in over 200 countries and territories. The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. The people in the list are called Connections. Users can invite anyone to become a connection. 4. Why was LinkedIn disrupted? LinkedIn is business-social networking and Chinese can use this site as the means of evoking opposition against the government. China's president Hu Jint

    Why is the US introducing a bill to limit tracking? The US is introducing a bill to limit tracking because practically every website you visit keep track of at least some activity for some conventional purposes, while some aren't (such as preventing you to vote twice in a poll). With this bill, the users will be able to have the Do Not Track option while visiting the website. Explain problem with implementing a no-tracking law. The problem with implementing a no-tracking law is that once the law is passed, users will still have a hard time of knowing whether or not a site is tracking them. Not all sites will honor the no-tracking law, and because they don't honor it, they probably won't tell their users' that they're still being tracked, along with what information is being gathered for what purpose.

    What are the problems with doing everything on the cloud? may 19 az
  •  
    Doing everything on the cloud is efficient in a way that we can work on from anywhere anytime as long as we have internet connection. However, when we don't have good internet connection, there is nothing we can do since everything we have done is stored on the cloud. . Internet data storing plans might also be an obstacle while operating on the cloud because the costs increase as more data is wanted to be stored on the cloud. Moreover, The cloud is not invincible to attacks so your data is not 100% safe. Having a backup saved on a physical hard drive is a must, cause you can't rely too much in the cloud (look what happen to Amazon and Sony).

Great Debate: Should any Internet freedom ever be sacrificed to fight piracy? | ZDNet - 10 views

  •  
    Agree or disagree? all feb 10 soobin
  •  
    Agree Agree to some extent. Internet freedom can be sacrificed only to a certain extent to fight piracy. Getting rid of internet freedom is basically the same thing as shutting out the communication lines of the world. The source of the reason why piracy is done is mainly due to the fact that people can't afford the items that they wish to use, or need to use, because they are ridiculously overpriced. These industries don't think that way because they want profit, however, if piracy was stopped, then no one will buy their products anyways because they still can't afford it. Popularity of the product will decrease, and the marketing of the product basically just failed. We need to compromise something so that piracy is decreased until there is no more. But suddenly stopping everything in one shot with something like SOPA isn't the way to go. Disagree I disagree. The internet should be free and open. We need to educate people not to download pirated software, movies and music. Doing so is the same as stealing from a shop, which most people would not do. Most people would be prepared to pay small amount for the right to download these things. If governments try to remove websites, it is the same as censorship which sometimes happens in dictatorships but should not happen in free societies. We really need freedom for the internet, so that we can easily share our own ideas, and thoughts. Unlike China, where people can't even talk gossip about governments, which is a basic human right. But China is still very famous for internet piracy. The United States should not have the power to prevent freedom of internet because they are not the world's police force. They should not have the power to dictate what happens in the rest of the world. That's why internet freedom should not be sacrificed.

How Do Search Engines Rank Websites? - 4 views

    Describe the major areas of search engine optimization. m12 nov 10 alec
  •  
    1. Building Quality Back Links to Your Website - the way to a better ranking is to have quality websites link to yours. Such as websites in you niche or social media websites. If your site has these types of links search engines are more likely to give you website a higher ranking. 2. Anchor Text in Back Links - using anchor text also gets you a higher ranking, for example: if you use the URL www.sourcelinemedia.com - then the search engine only sees the site domain as part of its rankings. If you use anchor text such as Website Marketing and Design then search engines will rank you higher for anyone that searches for website marketing or website design. 3. On Page Optimization - Using key words helps to optimize your websites hits during a search. For example a site that has many key words relating to the information in its articles is more likely to get a hit on a search because the words relate to what they are searching. For example if you search Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr would come up as the top few hits.

US water facility 'was shut down by hackers' - Telegraph - 17 views

    How was the attack done? How did they know an attack happened? Why is this an important issue? Describe a possible solution. all nov 23 Chut
  •  
    How was the attack done? The hackers were able to obtain credentials from a company that makes software used to control the industrial systems. How did they know an attack happened? They knew that there was an attack because one of the pumps that is used to deliver water to the city was turned off. Why is this an important issue? This is an important issue because it indicates the amount of attention the United States government is giving to cyber-attacks. A terrorist attack like the one happened on September 9th 2001 can be said to be the faults of those who were monitoring the cyber activity. If the government aren't able to connect the dots to why they are doing this and the patterns of the attacks it might cause the US to be under attack like what happened over ten years ago. Describe a possible solution. Since that the credential software are saved on the clients' server, the employees can do a part in protecting the software. The staffs can help support the software.
