Chapter 6

6.6-Describe two technical means of protecting copyright of intellectual property on the web.
- one technical mean of protecting copy right of intellectual property on the web is the nature of a new program, or a new kind of program. A second would be the practical consequences of each choice in terms of encouraging innovation of production of new products.


6.8-Describe two things the entertainment industry has done to protect its copyrights. For each, tell whether you think it is justified. Give reason.
-One thing that the entertainment industry has done to protect its copyrights is they gave gone to court. Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and this law prohibits the making, distributing, or using of tools (devices, software, or services) to circumvent technological copyright protection systems used by copyright holders. Another thing that the entertainment industry has done to protect its copyright is the software is hard to download.

6.22- Compare the following statements. Are they equally valid? Why or why not? Is home burglary a good analogy for disabling copy protection? Why or why not?
-No the statements below are not equally valid. A lock on your door is just the same as what you have produced. You wouldn't put a weak lock on your door knowing that somebody could break in and take what you have. A burglary is a good analogy for disabling copy protections because a burglar goes into your house where you keep things that need to be protected and when someone hacks and the copy right is avoided they are taking your ideas.


6.24-Thomas Jefferson and several modern writers used fire as an analogy for copying intellectual property: We can light many candles from one without diminishing the light of heat obtained fro the first candle. Suppose a group of people go camping in the wilderness using primitive methods. One person gets a fire started. Other want to start their fire from hers. Can you think of any ethical practical reasons why they should be expected to trade something, perhaps some wild fruit they found, for the use of the fire?
-Yes it would be an ethical decision to trade something because that would be the right thing to do because then they had their shelter. This would be the same as copying intellectual property because they used the same things which would make it so they need to share because that's the right thing to do.
