INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS WHAT!
with globalisation and technological advancement, it is getting easier and easier to steal intellectual property. the internet for exampls is the main cause here. with the globe being able to put its intellectual resources into the form of data on the internet, this property can be stolen and distributed as easily as a press of a button (literally). with sites such as youtube.com and other online video sites, more people can benefit from the free videos online. but if the videos are licensed and uploaded elsewhere where the site allows licensed property to be viewed or downloaded, theft of intellectual proerty is commited.
the-not-so-long-ago craze of downloading music for free from illegal programs such as the OLD NAPSTER have caused a sensation in the world about intellectual property rights and awareness. the modern world now knows that theft of intellectual property is forbidden in all countries. this theft is made easier by websites which provide a medium for people to transfer files, which people can upload data and other people can download, such as Rapidshare and SendSpace. with such activities going on in the net, people might even steal your photo off your MSN display picture and use it!
watch out, world.
