Copyrights, Fair Use, Cyberbullying & Nettiquete!!!

Honestly, I had no clue that technology would inforce as many laws as it does!  Saying that; I understand that when you work hard on something special to you and the tool you created can help others, then I would want credit for it like most people would!!  Even on the web you have to sure you are legal and not stepping on anyone's toes or crossing bounderies you do not belong in .  This is obviosly where our "copyright" laws come into play.  This is when the moral compass of each user has to be right on with pure intentions.  If its not yours dont claim it, if you didn't do it dont except credit for it.  Not only does this effect your conscious negatively, but you could potentially be looking at a law suit most of us in this economy cannot afford!  The internet is a wonderful tool to use , but it has its downfalls.  Obviuosly people can have different identies and alias, all of them will not have good intentions!  Cyberbullying and nettiquete are both serious issues that if not handled correctly can be devestating to individuals along with groups of people and their lives!  The "Golden Rule" applies on the web as well "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", or in my words " type onto others as you would have them type unto you " !  This assignment really opened my eyes to the legal and illegal actions that are allowed on the web or educational technology!  Therefore will change the way I handle all my online interactions with not only other people but each individual site itself !  Good to know !!
