Copyrights, Fair Use, Cyberbullying and Netiquette!!

There are so many things that you do on a regular basis online that are against the law but we do them anyways.  Sometimes we do them without thinking that we're even doing them.  Like we never really notice or pay attention to the copyright and fair use policies on everything.  I believe and feel that copyrighting and fair use policies are very straight forward and to the point.  When it comes to teenagers being bored, they tend to go online and just bully other people threw like facebook comments and or posts, and threw text messaging.  I know about cyberbullying from personal experiences because I was cyberbullied through this online site called myspace at that time but that cyberbullying put me in a deep depression and that depression was extremely hard to get myself out of.  I believe and feel that cyberbullying is wrong and that the government should have a law against cyberbullying online and or at school.  I believe that netiquette in basic terms is the rules, guidelines, and it's basically doing the right thing while you're online.  Netiquette is like the respect and the way you treat people in person but it's online, instead.

I know that I've learned that copyrights are mainly about the many different ways that you can copy something the right and or wrong ways.  Like I just found out that you can get pirated copies of many different types of software and too many movies or videos that you can download online without paying for them, which is against the law and it's a felony to copyright something the wrong way.  I learned that 71% of unwanted exposures occurred while the children were searching or surfing the internet.  And I also learned that many people have there own forms of netiquette and not all forms of netiquette are all exactly the same.  So those are the many things that I think about copyrights, fair use, cyberbullying, and netiquette.
