Description

Hundreds of millions of songs and videos are illegally downloaded every month and about one-quarter of all Internet users have downloaded a movie from the Internet. Research this topic and post your answers to the following questions in the Free Music and Videos CLASS (not GROUP) forum:

  • What do you think might happen if this situation doesn't change?
  • Is downloading music or videos without paying any different ethically than shoplifting CDs or DVDs from a store? Why or why not?
  • Is there a solution to this problem that could make everyone happy?

Include in your post at least two sources (books, magazines, scholarly journals, newspapers, web sites). List your sources at the end of your essay using either the APA Citation Guide at ITE 115 Library Resources/APA Citations or the MLA Citation Guide at ITE 115 Library Resources/MLA Citations. Then, clearly relate your sources to your essay by including the author's last name after the sentence or paragraph where you referred to the source (Highlight or boldface the author's last name so I can find it easily within your essay). This should be done for each source. Note that Wikipedia cannot be used as a direct source.

Part B:

Although 90% of all desktop computers use Windows as their operating system, there are two popular alternatives - Apple's Mac OS and the Linux open-source operating system. In this assignment, you will investigate an operating system other than the one you usually use to see how it handles common operating system functions.

  1. Find a friend, relative, or co-worker with a computer that uses an operating system that you don't usually use (Windows, Mac OS, or Linux). Try out the operating system, and observe how it works compared with the operating system that you normally use. Pick the 4 or 5 things you do the most and use those in your comparison. Some examples might be organizing files, creating documents, accessing the Internet, using e-mail, uninstalling software, etc. Do not compare two different Windows systems (for example, Windows 8 and Windows 10).
  2. Post a report of your experience to the Test Drive CLASS forum. Include the following in your report:
    • The name and version of the operating system you tested, and the name and version of the operating system you normally use.
    • Your list of the 4 or 5 things that you tested.
    • A description of how you tested each process, what you observed, and how it differed from what you normally experience.

Part A.
Illegal music and video download.
Illegal download of movies and music is a form of intellectual property theft. This
practice has been referred to as piracy where Yellin defines it as unauthorized production or use
of another person’s work (Yellin, 2015). If this practice does not change it would negatively
influence the state of the economy. With regards to the amount of employment that the
entertainment sector provides for, the amount of revenue that the governments collect from
entertainment industry among other factors would negatively influence the state of the economy.
This practice is termed as illegal since all these products are covered by copyright hence
downloading and distribution is a crime. This article is going to provide details about the dangers
of illegal download of music or movies laying emphasis on the ethical issues regarding the
matter and possible solutions to mitigating these problems.
Yelling in his article on “why wrong cannot lead to rights: A response to piracy in
creative fields” claims that piracy has undermined professional abilities and even denied them
the ability to sustain their livelihoods (Yellin, 2015). This is as a result of dependence on a single
revenue stream. Diversified source of revenue encourages creativity in the ecosystem hence lack
of a diversified source of revenue discourages. This implies that only established companies and
artists are going to gain more in the market while undermining independent producer’s ability to
support their industries due to low financial gain or support.
Illegal movies or music download might result in the extinction of production industries.
This is because the concentration of source of revenue makes them dependent on one source of
finance to gather for the production costs. Piracy has made producers invest in a narrow range of
