Chapter23: Intellectual property: Legal and Moral Challenges of Online File Sharing

 

What I expect to learn:

I expect to learn the message and importance of online file sharing.

 

Book Review:

     First what is an intellectual property? Based from what i've read and researched from Wikipedia, Intellectual property  is a term referring to a number of distinct types of legal monopolies over creations of the mind, both artistic and commercial, and the corresponding fields of law. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Based from what i understand on reading this, intellectual property is a type of property wherein it is owned by someone which is imaginative or what the definition says, creations of the mind and the owner is the mind of the one who thought of it.

 

     This chapter has something in connection too with the previous one which talks about plagiarism. The difference i,s that here, formed ideas are copied and not the content yet. But for me, content are created based from the ideas formed so it is the start of everything. No content can be created without forming an idea first. Just like what i am doing right now. The things i wrote in here are my formed ideas in my mind. I was able to come up with all of these because of my ideas which is created by the mind i have. File sharing is the tool used to share or exchange files of information through the web with the use of internet. File sharing is a very helpful tool nowadays.

 

     To sum this chapter up, i learned that ideas are very important. a content cannot be created without creating an idea of it first. Also, an idea should not be copied by other people because they should learn how to create their own ideas. The problem is that there are no proofs or copyrights to sue a copier of ideas. that is why ideas should be well taken care  of and utilized.

 

What I have learned:

I learned that ideas are important and it is used in file sharing. Files sharing are important nowadays.

 

Integrative Question:

1. What is File sharing?

2. What is its connection with the previous chapter?

3. What is intellectual property?

4. Can an intellectual property be shared through file sharing?

5. What is the advantage of file sharing?
