For me, the hot-button Copyright issue of note that was presented today was the information on BitTorrent and other mass file sharing programs. I thought these programs were only used to illegally download music and movies from the Internet… I was wrong.
Jason pointed out that these programs can be used to download/upload files of all different kinds by grouping files from all over the Web together. These files can contain anything, from music to movies, and even to Rosetta Stone Language software. It is amazing to me the lengths some people will go to avoid paying for a simple service, whether it’s a song or another program. It is one of the sharpest double-edged swords on the Internet these days and sometimes it will kill you.
In some ways it’s not all bad that people are attempting to download/upload these files and programs from the Web. At least this shows that there is some kind of demand for the Copyrighted products, and that is good to know for the ownership companies. I understand why people would search for this easy way out, but, in the end, it is stealing and there is no doubt about that.
