Precis #4 copyright and copyleft

Copyright and Copyleft are quite different. Copyrights "exist in order to protect authors of documentation or software from unauthorized copying or selling of their work. A copyright infers that only with the author's permission may such activities take place." But Copyleft on the other hand "provides a method for software or documentation to be modified, and distributed back to the community, provided it remains Libre." Both forms ensure that the proper credits are awarded however Copyleft ensures that the software remains free. Freeware is a very good thing. Free software is automatically superior to software that has to be payed for because of course it is free. Everday programs like Microsoft Word for instance should be free for download as it is the standard in technology. That is why copyleft is better than copywrite.

Facebook is a social network typically used for college students to keep in touch with one another. Yes, I have one but I rarely use it as it is just a college party organizational tool, which is something I am uninterested in. Anyone who posts their mobile telephone number or any other sacred presonal information on their facebook profile is just unintelligent. Facebook profiles are not good to have because in the near future when the United States is a hyper-totalitarian state run by cyborg zombie mutant robots, Robocops will easily be able to access all of your personal information via plasma surges sent directly to the login page and zap your brain waves automatically causing you to convert to the brainless zombie mutant robot cyborg functions.

The amount of personal data being sent to one of the biggest corporations to embrace the world wide web, known to many as Google, is frighteningly immense. IP addresses, what pages you visit, your search terms, online shopping information, and the social information from thet Orkut social networking service are all extremely personal information that could easily by used against you. It is quite possible for certain people, whether a simple internet criminal or an FBI officer, to hack into Google's system and find the information they need to steal your identity or put you behind bars.

Network Neutrality is a major issue. It is very important for a broadband network to remain free of restrictions. If the internet had censorship like television than we would be heading toward a "1984"-esque situation, one that would be incredibly controlled and censored by the federal government. Obtaining pirated software and other copywritten content using torrents is illegal, and pornographic websites are quite dirty, but the internet is a free world for people to share whatever information they want. The government cannot tell them not to because it would just be a complete totalitarian mess where opinions mean nothing and people are numbers.
