Ethical, Legal and Social Issues in a Digital Age

What I found most interesting in this week’s materials was the controversy over sampling in music. I have to say that I lean to the side of those who call it stealing and find it unoriginal. It’s hard to truly say that I agree however, because I’m sure many of the songs I have on my iPod use sampling. It’s kind of sad that in this day and age it’s difficult to know if materials are completely original, especially when they’re digital.

I also found the power point presentation on copyright to be interesting. One unfortunate thing about the internet and other technologies is how easy it is to access and download information as well as other files, and to break copyright laws by doing so.  Many internet users have probably broken copyright laws at some point and aren’t even aware of it.
