Statement: "Protect Your Online Privacy - Don't Fall Victim to Identity Theft"
Why it's illegal and unethical: In today's digital world, our online privacy is of utmost importance. One form of illegal and unethical use of technology is identity theft. Cybercriminals use various techniques to infiltrate our personal devices, hack our accounts, and steal our sensitive information like social security numbers, credit card details, and more.
By gaining unauthorized access to our personal data, these criminals can commit fraud, engage in financial crimes, and even ruin our reputation. Not only does identity theft cause immense financial losses and emotional distress to the victims, but it also undermines their trust in technology and online platforms.
Protecting your online privacy is crucial. Strengthen your passwords, be cautious while sharing personal information, and use secure networks when conducting financial transactions online. Stay vigilant against phishing attempts and unknown email attachments. Report any suspicious activities to the authorities, and keep your devices updated with the latest security patches.
Remember, safeguarding your online privacy is not just a personal responsibility but a crucial step in maintaining a secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem for all. Spread awareness, educate others, and let's prioritize the ethical and legal use of technology to protect our online privacy!
Directions: Using Handout called: “Copyright and Fair Use,” answer the following questions.
1. What is copyright? Copyright is the legal concept that works—art, writing, images, music, and more—belong to the people who create them. According to copyright law, any original content you create and record in a lasting form is your own intellectual property. This means other people can't legally copy your work and pretend it's their own. They can't make money from the things you create either.
2. Explain the differences of traditional copyright, Creative Commons, and public domain. Traditional copyright- Work cannot be used, adapted, copied, or published without the creator's permission. What does it apply to?
All original work is protected under copyright when it's created. Creative Commons- Work may be used without permission, but only under certain circumstances.
...
Creators set rules for the way their work is used. Only work that creators have chosen to designate as Creative Commons. Public domain-Work can be used, adapted, copied, and published, completely without restrictions, no permission needed. Work published prior to 1923, work by long-dead creators, and work that creators have placed in the Public Domain.
3. Describe the fair use rule and explain the guidelines for fair use of information.
4. Why would an individual want to obtain a licensing copyright?
3. The fair use rule allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, teaching, or research. The guidelines for fair use of information include considering the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
4. An individual may want to obtain a licensing copyright to protect their original work and have legal control over its use. Obtaining a copyright license grants the copyright holder the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, display, perform, and create derivative works based on the original content. It ensures that others cannot use and profit from their work without proper permission or compensation.
