Copyright


 copyright
There has been a big issue with copyright laws. Many people use the music they listen to, pictures, articles, essays into the their own work to prove a point or to express an opinion, for example, many people use content in videos, such as the ones on youtube, that's not their own to make their video more entertaining. To do this without getting slammed for breaking any laws  you must follow some guidelines, such as the ones in this prezi, that we looked at in our class. Content that you get from other people to use in your own work are followed under free use. Free use is where you can use other peoples content without being criticized for breaking copyright laws, but free use goes out the window when your content doesn't give the author any recognition for the use of their content. So as long as you cite your sources, give credit to the author, using content of others should be fine.

    I like what you had to say on copyright but what do you think of those who abuse copyright. You said in your description that all you needed to do was follow the rules and give proper attribution but there are thousands of examples every year which show people abusing the copyrights they have to make money. I understand that the system is supposed to help people keep their patents but I have also seen people screwed by it.

Piracy

  Piracy may be illegal but that doesn't stop people from doing it anyways. There are torrent sites that are easily accessible over the internet to download the files that your want. Websites such as lime wire, frost wire, and the pirate bay are just a few that let you download files that people uploaded themselves. Accessibility is major factor for pirating. If a person believes that a certain something is far to expensive for them achieve then that individual may end up pirating it from one of the may sources online. Even if piracy is a big issue, its not going to be easy to get rid of. Back when the pirate bay was taken offline, a new site was brought up not soon long after, making it a know idea that new sites can just pop up and give users access to free downloads.

Communities Of Practice

In our reading about cultivating communities of practice it talks about how organizations do a better job at improving itself  if certain individuals meet up after business hours to share information about technology. This meet up is called a tech club and I believe its a good way to collaborate. With this process groups can discuss better ways for the company can promote their products and improve innovation, then the club would share this information to other members of the company that they believe can fix the know issues that the company is facing .Knowledge shared between like minded individuals can benefit any community that wants to reach a common goal and is why collaboration between like minded individuals to tackle the hard tasks is better than just working alone. https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=m1xZuNq9RygC&oi=fnd&pg=PR9&dq=Cultivating-Communities-of-Practice&ots=ZV18fGcg9T&sig=vyYADEZsR-qdyrc_VRtO08fL0lY#v=onepage&q=Cultiv

Toxic Gaming

Toxic Gaming Toxicity in gaming has been a huge problem for gamers everywhere. If you play any competitive game you will most likely encounter some gamers who takes things to far. For instance getting ridiculed for not giving a good performance in a competitive match or not following the commands of other teammates can get you a nasty message sent to your inbox or getting called nasty names if the game supports voice chat. This puts other gamers in a predicament as they just want to play and don't care whether they win or lose. In the article we read in class "Can a video game company tame toxic behavior?" it uses the game league of legends as an example of the toxic environment in video games. Since league is the most popular game out there it has one of the worst gaming environments. The article also states how the company who made the game is trying to combat the toxic community. Riots way of improving the match quality is something at least, but most of the
