Politics and government

a) intellectual property is when someone claims ownership to and idea or theory that they invented.

b) Two services that an ISP provides the service of lease server space for smaller businesses and host other people servers, which allows then a separate server for custom uses, and to provide cable and internet to a house hold, i.e. version fios

C) Two ways a home computer network could be adversely affected by the use of file sharing services is that the network is not secure. This means that the home computer network does not have a safe password. Another way which home computer network could be adversely affected by the use of file sharing services is that the website that the file sharing is going on in, example sending emails, posting on social networking sites, are not secure and this information could easily be broken into because it is not secured. There are viruses as well and the quality is not as great.

D) If the government starts to regulate the use of P2P sites for file sharing this would have a great effect on the music industry. For one, jobs in the music industry could decrease because the government would have control on file sharing because music would not be bought. Another possible implication would be that some people would start to download music for free instead of file sharing, which is illegal, but they have no other options. If the government starts to regulate P2P file sharing that would mean that people would not be able to download music meaning that the music industry would get more money. If the government regulates the use of P2P files being shares this would help the music industry get more money.
