I feel that downloading music illegally is wrong and whoever does so should be willing to ay the consequences for it. In the same instance, I also think that certain copyright laws are a bit rediculous and should not exist. This mainly pertains to those of a less serious nature such as allowing your friend to listen to a CD that she does not have. If it is something like downloading music off the internet, burning it to a CD, and selling it for profit, then yes laws against that should exist because it can cause people to lose their job if no one buys his or her music. I feel that most of the time, piracy happens without a knowedge of it. Several times, people copy music because they do not realize that it is against the law; they might just be trying to make something nice for a friend. Piracy is such a big deal because people are either clueless or do not realize that they are doing it.

I personally feel that if someone were to use my podcast without my permission i would not be too offended depending on what it was being used for. Now if someone were to use my graphic i would be a little creeped out because there is no reason as to why someone would need a picture of me. I wouldn't be mad but i would be freaked out.
