Legal and Ethical Issues

Copyright vs. Legal Access

During the case of Mr.Swartz, On one side were activists like Mr. Swartz and advocacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Students for Free Culture. On the other were governments and corporations that argued that some information must be kept private for security or commercial reasons.I think it should be free for the music because it doesn't have any thing private or confidential but when it comes to movies I think they shouldn't be free since the directors spend so much money on it. But if we go back to the case, I agree with both sides arguments that it should be free but there has to be some limitations because of the security.

  1. I think it would be nice if everything were free, but we have to keep in mind that the producer of the product put a lot of time, money, and effort into what they created.

    1. I agree with you! Because music and movies are kind of costly to create.

  2. Yes I agree with you. I believe that there should be a price on movies and music because producers work really hard to make them

    2. It's extremely time consuming. People really don't know how much it takes to put that content out.

  3. I agree with your point that certain things should be free becasue of its content. For instance like you said with music, when contrasting it to something like confidential information, there is no reason why it shouldn't be public.
