Copyrighting.

Can people own more than their shirt and car? Yes indeed they can. If they have come up with some great ideas and doesn’t want someone else to take the credit of the idea, they should copyright them. Being artistic is a job; people put time, effort and talent for making them.

Had I written a beautiful song, I wouldn’t like it if someone else took the credit and got famous for my creativity. They stole it from me, and it’s a crime. So be aware, if you broadcast things to be yours and its not, you are a criminal. You can show things that aren’t yours, but then the author's name and source shall be mentioned with it. My beautiful song is an intellectual property and my shirt is a physical property. I own both, but the difference is that I have to claim the copyright for my song. The shirt I buy from a store. 

Explanation of copyright.

For to copyright things I must contact World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), this is an organisation established of UN in 1967. An organisation which courage creativity thoughts and protects the intellectual property around the world. This mean it protects the work people make. If you have written a book, song, novel and so on, you should copyright it. If you do so, you own it. If not, someone could steel it from you. 


For to have some further reading about (WIPO), I can suggest a coupple of pages. Theese are the pages: Wikipedia, WIPO and icannwiki. I really suggest you take a look at theese pages, and read some more. It is an important subject everyone should know about. 

A man steals Intellectual Property.

To buy software cost a lot of money. If you need some software occasionally, it is a big cost. Today you have the opportunity to rent software for a period of time. Creative Cloud-membership gives you access to applications like Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe and so on… This way you don’t have to be criminal and steel the software from someone. There are people who have made them and copyrighted the software.

Software is difficult to share, but an example it would be nice if they were able to share their licenses for some software, are in public schools. They have software which isn’t so much in use all time. It's only wish thinking that it's possible to share software between schools, like free software among them. ”Friprogsenteret” is a competence center for free software.There are many sites it's possible to download free software or get more information. I listed up some pages that is about WIPO over the film.

Some places you can get legally free software.

In the end I want to summarize:

If you came up with something new, it doesn't matter if it is a beautiful song, a book, or something you has built. It is yours, no matter. Then you should copyright it. If not someone can steel it from you, and make money of it. You shouldn't undo to other either. There is laws against it, and you could come in jail for it.

Is it easy to become a IT-criminal?

Information privacy who is the main subject here, can also be called data privacy.There are various types of personal information that often come under privacy concerns. It can be information like internet, medical, financial, political or legality and so on.

Doing ethical correct things is people who do good, correct and dignity things, which doesn’t offend people. You don’t have to steel something from a store to be a criminal, have you downloaded music from websites who don’t take charges, you have already become an IT-criminal. Now you have done some ethical wrong. Those who have put a lot of effort and work in making that music haven’t got paid when you don’t pay for it. People need to think before they do things on internet.

How to protect you and your family.

It is so easy to do bad things on internet, so we should be aware. Take care of your own children and are you a teacher, take care of your pupils too. Schools use computers more and more, pupils don’t know about all bad things that can happen on internet. Not all pupils know about the roules that is on net either. They download everything that looks like it's exiting and fun. Most pupils dont know about all thisAll use on internet leaves tracks from you. Both children and adults should have some restrictions for leaving their names, dates and addresses on internet. In worst cases, wrong people abuse this information, and you lose your identity. I for sure, don’t want people to read all kind of information about my life, take control over my finance or at all take control over my life. 

What about you? 

-Are you a pirat who does piracy???

There are many online subscriptions which is free. You save a few bucks, but you can also end up with poor quality, spyware and virus risks.

Here are some examples to understand what's right or wrong 
when it comes to downloading.

Are you a person who does bad ethical things when it comes to internet, I tell you that it's bad and unworthy.  In the end, you have to deside, are you a person who can live with doing bad ethical things, or will you feel bad after you have downloaded your song, film or program.What you can or cannot do and publish on internet is there laws for. Just be aware. There are units in the Police that investigates IT/criminality.

Summarize:

It's very low threshold to become a IT-criminal. Just downloading things from internet, which you havent paid for, is ethical wrong. There are people who have put a lot of effort and work in everything you download. This is things who is ethical wrong. For some people, they doesn't mind doing it, but you can get caught for doing it. Many pupils doesn't know about theese roules, and download just about everything. Police investigates cases with IT/criminality.
