Kill the Internet Essay
Kill the Internet-and Other Anti-SOPA Myths Essay The Article ââ¬Å"Kill the Internet-and Other Anti-SOPA Mythsâ⬠by Danny Goldberg introduces PIPA(Protect Intellectual Property Act) for online piracy on the internet. This situation is connected to the copyright piracy as well. The issue in this essay is the common problem of published articles and links being copied and pasted from people off the internet and getting credit for another personââ¬â¢s work. In this case I agree with the SOPA because copyright is not to be credited for those who donââ¬â¢t do their own work. To me, it is a guidance for help not coping. Coping someoneââ¬â¢s work is not helping the situation and takes the away the opportunity of the author to get credit. One reason to my decision on agreeing is the leading affect of progressive voices and outlets of skillful writers work is being taken into someone elseââ¬â¢s work. According to the Politics website, the legislation would allow copyright holders and the justice Department to seek court orders against websites associated with copyright infringement. To the legislative, they believe that the copyright holders chances of winning is not very high. They see coping as a threat to publishers and should be banned even if internet websites lose business. A second reason that got me to agree was a statement made by Clay Shirkyââ¬â¢s assistant in the book The McGraw-Hill Guide. ââ¬Å" Many believe that copyright isnââ¬â¢t coping if the creator doesnââ¬â¢t lose profit because nothing physical isnââ¬â¢t taken from them,â⬠ââ¬â Clay Shirkyââ¬â¢s assistant. This statement is false reasoning because even if the authors profit isnââ¬â¢t lost, the fact that their hard work is being copied by someone else doesnââ¬â¢t make things alright. The publisher worked hard on the writing they published to the internet and it shouldnââ¬â¢t be taken advantage of. People need to realize that taking others work isnââ¬â¢t a very clever idea because your only hurting yourself by taking other peopleââ¬â¢s credit. Itââ¬â¢s the same as someone taking a movie that a director worked hard to become public and then has to find out their credit was copied by another person and is being used or is being taken ownershipà by that person. Because of this problem many websites are losing their businesses for links and articles of authors are declining their work to be on the internet. For this I believe the SOPA is making the right decision and should proceed in protecting the internet uses. All in all copyright should have been prohibited a long time ago. For those whose work is being taken out of context and losing credit isnââ¬â¢t fair. SOPA and PIPA industries should feel good about themselves for finally taking action and stopping internet copiers on the websites available to the people.
