Copyright Infringement.

Princeton University Press v. Michigan Document Services

A professer at the Michigan Document Services had purchased study materials made by Pinceton University. Michigan Document Services, who is a photocopying organization, then made photocopies and made it into a book to sell to the students. They could have purchased the material, and used it, but chose to photocopy the work. The court considered that it was not "fair use" and penalized the photocopying company.

Internet Saftey.

I think that 'internet safety' means that you are careful and watch what you do on the computer. The three most important things about intetnet safety are: there are alot of creepers out there that like little kids and want your body, anything you put out on the internet is somehow viewable from anyone in the world, and alot of things teenagers do these days on the internet is illegal. I learned from Deputy Krupp that sexting is illegal and you CAN be charged for distributing child pornography. I have already improved my safety on the internet by deleting my facebook because I know there is alot of personal information that anyone could read and easily get my cell phone number or my location at times.
