...speeches, projects, and essays. Information that you find in the Library is usually credible information. That is different from using the internet because when you use the internet to find resources, you take a big risk using that information as credible. You should also look on the internet, when you find a source that you were researching on, to see if you can find factual information within the other sources that you are looking at. Also, when you are using the internet for research purposes, there are no trained specialists available to help you if you should need any help. When you are using the internet you should use these strategies for your search results: 1. Always keep in mind what you need to find or locate 2. Examine the URL 3. Examine the synopsis or short description of the site 4. Bookmark sites that look useful to you 5. Examine the related searches list You should have strong information literacy skills while using the internet. You should also check for accuracy and credibility of any research you have done.

...interactive digitized media – and the rights inherent in use and fair use – is one of broad confusion. All such media includes: visual, textual, and / or audio elements; digital storage; and an aspect of interactivity by the end user and delivers in such forms as “…computer games, interactive websites, DVDs and mobile telephones through ‘infotainment’ products … compendiums of film reviews … still photographs and theme songs, to educational products such as interactive encyclopedias” (114). With such a vast array of multimedia products and their producer’s intent to multi-purpose each venue for optimal revenue, legal issues loom ever larger over intellectual property (IP) rights and copyrighted material ownership. Peach discusses several legal matters affecting the production of multimedia use, including ethics considerations and blatant unauthorized usage. Anytime a multimedia producer incorporates unauthorized material into a production or product, copyright infringement almost always results. The author ascribes such infringements to ignorance – many by thinking that “…because it is technologically possible… it must be legal” or the blatant choice to ignore copyright processes and requirements (115). Peach warns that technological marvels are no excuse for such violation; legal remedies exist for such infringements and are often sought to protect the ownership rights to such materials. During the process of obtaining fair use permissions or clearances, responsibility rests on...

...I feel my responsibility to the public is to inform them of the news that is going to affect them first. The death of a celebrity will definitely have an impact on people, but I do not feel that it is important for the news media to report on culture instead of news that affect the life of the viewer directly. The social responsibilities of news media are to inform the viewers of news that can potentially have an impact on the viewer’s lives. Posting news on the internet has some different problems than those of the news stations or radio. When I would post the same news on the television station’s website I will have to think of the ethical and legal considerations of the online world, like copyright infringement and the concept of fair use. I would have to list any sources I might have on both news stories as well as links to their websites, just to be safe. I would also have to double check to make sure that what I am writing is not similar to someone else’s writing in order to avoid plagiarism. I feel that the importance of ethical and legal compliance in online interactions is very helpful to keep the credibility of the television station’s credibility. Nobody would go to the website or listen to the news on television to get news if I did not comply with the legal and ethical issues in online interactions. It would severely affect the credibility of the television...

...2012 Vidding Vidding has been used for many years not. Vidding is when somebody takes clips of footage from visual sources such as television shows, music videos, movies, or even video games and uses it to create another video. There is a lot of controversy when it comes to vidding. According to copyright laws, the clips of footage being used belong to the original artist(s) and owners from those television shows, music videos, and movies. Those that feel vidding isn’t breaking any copyright laws say that they are just using small clips with no intentions of making money or selling the final video in which the clips are in. White there is a thin line; I believe that creating videos and uploading them to the internet using vidding is not an ethical expression of free speech. Vidding is a violation of copyright laws because an artist’s property is being taken without permission, whether you take one second of footage, or one hour, it is still an infringement. It seems asinine that people would need such an explanation of copyright and fair use laws, but the law isn’t black and white. The law seems unclear on what is infringement or what is fair use, each case is different and there is no set amount of work that can be taken before it turns into infringement Fair use. (2012, June.) There are some that believe that if you just give credit and cite the original artist or owner, you aren’t committing a crime. Television shows and movies have used a trick in the past...

...Givaudan Flavors Case Study : Customer Value Driver Discovery As the company want to create good value that can price profitably, instead of using Cost based pricing, we should focus on what is the best value we can offer Tastyco(Value Based Pricing). We should use Economic value for our value creation. It is to estimate the maximum price that the customer wants to pay. In this process, the last step is to estimate differential value. As in the case the company doesn’t want to cut any cost down, we should focus on improving their revenue and profit. For this case the manager can justify differential value to their customer by defining that we can differentiate in the following value: 1. Exchange value : We can satisfy the need by offering the better products which are the innovative flavors and great technical service that Tastyco always get from us. The shipment of the products is also guaranteed that the material will never be shortage anywhere. This is why we are worth more than NonObtanium and Nan Ya. 2. Monetary value : We can help Tastyco save their cost or income enhancement. This is the result in The helping in a number of technical areas from Givaudan to Tastyco, the training for Tastyco’s R&D team.

...Meredith Butler English 1102 Fiction Essay In the story Everyday Use by Alice Walker, the author attempts to show the contrasts between family members in regards to their heritage during the 1960’s. Ms. Walker tells the story of how different the family members are in education, lifestyle and beliefs. In doing so, she illustrates the importance of everyday items and of everyday people. Ms. Walker, through the point of view of the mother, paints the picture of a young woman, too good for her family, running off to the city only to find that the city values her heritage and conversely, now must she. The character of Dee is first described by her mother in the excerpt, “Dee is lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair and a fuller figure” (Walker, 1973). This is in contrast to her “large, manly mother who can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man” (Walker) and her sister who was disfigured in a fire as a young child. The same fire that Dee stands and watches, so intently, that her mother thought to ask her “why she didn’t do a dance around the ashes” (Walker). It is never stated why Dee feels such deep hatred for her home, however shame and ignorance play a key role. “Dee wanted nice things” (Walker), things that would be difficult if not impossible to a young black girl of the time to obtain. Her mother often notes that Dee daydreams to the point of not blinking, determined to get what she wants. When Dee’s mother and the town raise money to send Dee off to school...

...COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. Copyright infringement is the use of work under copyright, infringing the copyright holder's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works, without permission from the copyright holder, which is typically a publisher or other business representing or assigned by the work's creator. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OCCURS WHEN THE COPYRIGHT OWNER'S RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED To fully understand copyright infringement, you must understand what rights you hold as a copyright holder. You own more than just the rights to reproduce the work filed with the US Copyright Office. An owner of a copyright owns a “bundle” of rights. Each of these rights can be sold or assigned separately. Copyright infringement occurs when one of those rights are used without the express consent of the copyright owner. The rights owned by the owner of a copyright include: The Right to Reproduce the Work. This is the right to reproduce, copy, duplicate or transcribe the work in any fixed form. Copyright infringement would occur if someone other than the copyright owner made a copy of the work and resold it. The Right to Derivative Works. This is the right to modify the work to create a new work. A new work that is based upon an existing work is a "derivative work." Copyright infringement would occur here if someone wrote a screenplay based on his favorite John Grisham book and sold or distributed the screenplay...

...How plagiarism can affect your life This paper is about how plagiarism can affect your whole life. However, before we can determine the effects, we need to know exactly what plagiarism really means. According to the Oxford dictionaries, plagiarism is “the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own”. Some people think that plagiarism is illegal, but only copyright infringement is illegal. The difference between copyright infringement and plagiarism is as follows. The copying of work that is not your own from someone who owes all the right of that work, whether this is a book, film, music piece or an idea is copyright infringement. Plagiarism is the more general term for copying without recognition to the source of the information. Though plagiarism is not always forbidden by law, there could be taken actions against plagiarism by companies or universities. Now we have an idea what plagiarism is, I will try to explain what the dangers of plagiarism can be. In general, the higher you are in education or management the more sanctions there are. For example, when a school kid at the age of 12 copies Wikipedia for his small paper, less consequences would there be than when a professor at a big university copies a colleague’s work. Though throughout the whole history of mostly art and literature many people based their work on other’s or even copied it, nowadays there are more strict consequences bound to copying and plagiarism. Students...

...In regards to land use planning, externalities arise from the development of land, and these externalities can be positive or negative. For example of a positive externality is when the use of land in a particular property increases the value of the surrounding properties, or a negative externality arises when the particular property is developed resulting in negative change in value to surrounding properties. There are several ways to internalize externalities: The first is the imposition of Pigovian taxes or subsidies equal in value to the externalities; second, the Coasian solution is to clearly define property rights which results in bargaining bringing about the optimal outcome; and third, which is the focus of this paper, the use of land regulation, namely zoning, to plan land development (Caplan, 2008). With respect to Pigovian taxes, given that land supply is relatively inelastic, these will have little effect on the mitigation of negative externalities of, for example, urban sprawl (Caplan, 2012). Further, the Coasian solution to deal with land use externalities involves deal-making between parties which, if there are no transaction costs result in the internalization of externalities. In practice, the Coasian solution is at work in tandem with zoning regulation which affects transaction costs (Staley, 1997). Because of the pervasiveness of zoning regulation throughout the United States, the following will examine two different cases of land use regulation, namely...

...loudly about copyright infringement and demanding that poor countries reorganize their domestic priorities around preventing unauthorized copying at any expense, threatening trade sanctions and worse for the recalcitrant." However, the copyright laws in many developing countries still give little consideration to copyright management issues for Digital Media Fields, such as software, E-book, music downloads, and digital cinema. As the biggest sources of illegal download in the world, developing countries’ digital media technology is seriously hindered. At the same time, some people argued that the tolerant digital media copyright law helps to bring culture and knowledge to people. I believe it is a mistake, as they may not understand Fair Use. In the case of China, according to Liu & Bates, “China copyright law focuses more on the regulations for traditional forms of creative content than the digital fields” (Liu & Bates, 2008). However, according to China Internet Network Information Center’s report, “the number of “netizens” in China has exceeded that of the United States” (2008). At the same time, China has become one of the biggest illegal downloads sources. As a result, China has responsibility to pay attention to digital rights management. A strong reason supporting the statement is that protecting digital copyright helps a lot to encourage creativity and the development of digital technology. For example, Apple, a representative of the creative company, has sued...

...Copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. This is usually only for a limited time. The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and exceptions to copyright law, including fair use. Copyright is a form of intellectual property, applicable to certain forms of creative work. Under US copyright law, legal protection attaches only to fixed representations in a tangible medium.[1] It is often shared among multiple authors, each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referred to as rightsholders.[2] These rights frequently include reproduction, control over derivative works, distribution, public performance, and "moral rights" such as attribution.[3] Copyrights are considered territorial rights, which means that they do not extend beyond the territory of a specific jurisdiction. While many aspects of national copyright laws have been standardized through international copyright agreements, copyright laws vary by country.[4] Typically, the duration of a copyright spans the author's life plus 50 to 100 years (that is, copyright typically expires 50 to 100 years after the author dies, depending on the jurisdiction). Some countries require certain copyright formalities to establishing copyright, but most recognize copyright in any completed work, without formal registration. Generally, copyright is enforced as a civil...

Stop Online Privacy Act was introduced by Lamar smith who is a representative in the United States. Therefore, Stop Online Piracy Act targets pirate bay, which are mostly used by individuals for illegal downloads. These pirate bays are mostly the overseas sites such as torrent hub that are frequently accessed by most individuals. Stop Online Piracy Act has various provisions (Crothers, 2012). Firstly, SOPA requires the courts to put up requests that are aimed at ensuring that both the online payment facilities and advertising networks refrain from using the infringing websites to conduct their business activities. Secondly, Stop Online Piracy Act requires the courts to have orders that ensure that internet service providers do not have access to the infringing websites.

Stop Online Piracy Act has been opposed and embraced by the Americans. Those...
