Before I learned about copyright, I assumed that certain ways of downloading or uploading music was legal. After my computer class the other day, I learned just how wrong I was. Copyright laws are a crime in any form. Sometimes, piracy is taken to more lightly than other times but regardless, downloading or uploading music that does not belong to a person, is illegal.
I will be analyzing a news article from the Internet that discusses one instance of copyright infringement.
This article discusses the repercussions of one man's posting on YouTube. He posted a professionally shot video clip that belonged to someone else, on YouTube assuming that it was allowed. the man that posted the video was not getting sued for it, but YouTube itself was being sued by the actual camera man of the video clip.
I do in fact think this is a fair punishment because the man had no right to steal another man's video even if it was just a clip of it.
