Copyrights

I am writing today to explain how I feel on a view subjects, copyrights, cyberbullying, and netiquette.
First the US copyright defined copyrighting is a form of protection provided by law of someones original work or authorship.  Copyright is usually done on music, videos, or movies.  This is cheating the owner's of their work because they are not being paid what it is worth.  Many people do this by downloading music for free or copying an illegal website.  Also they dub movies or DVDs and people resale them to make money.  All of these examples are not fair for the original producers.  They are being cheated and it is illegal to do so.  In order to not be copied illegally they should have permission of the rightful owner.

Cyberbulling is a very hateful thing to do to someone.  It happens on the Internet and is targeted by bullies.  Cyberbulling can happen through email or Facebook or other forms of public Internet websites.  It can do damage to the person that is being targeted.  I believe it is the worst thing that can happen to a person.  The cyberbullies do this in a coward way against people.  They don't need to answer to anyone and it can be done without ever facing the person.  I believe that if we as teachers should educate our students on cyberbulling it can prevent many targeted children.  We should explain how it can really hurt a person and make them feel worthless.

Netiquette is a program that can help correct your spelling.  In most phones they have spellcheck (T9) or when you type in a word they assume the word and it spells it out for you.  This can be a good thing or a bad thing.  Many people relied on this special feature and then they get lazy about knowing how to spell certain words.  On the other hand they can benefit from this because once they see the word spelled correctly a few times then they will learn it.
