so, on the last day of class we had two presentations. One was on the same book my group did, which was A World Without Secrets By Richard Hunt, and the other was on how to Steal This File Sharing Book by Wallace Wang.. I just have to vent a tad on the first presentation...it was-tooooooooooooooo-long...! I mean seriously......each presenter.. had a cheat sheet that they read out of, and they read alot out of it..no offence but presentations should not be that long.. ! ok.. I feel better... well, for the latter presentation, I felt sorry for them, primarily because they had almost no time to present, after the first group took eternity and some to present... but on a positive note.. they managed quite well. The latter book was pretty much a book teaching people how to download things off the internet. It wasn't selective of illegal or legal downloads, and on the back cover of the book, they had a disclaimer stating something to that effect.
Only in America, would a person be able to buy a book at a legal bookstore, to teach you how to illegally download. During the presentation the proffessor asked us if we were hungry and walked past a farm, would we go into the farm and help oursleves to the produce on the farm? truthfully no! well, he continued, how is it any different when we download music off the internet?..... point somewhat taken!
Personally, I really don't know how to download music off the internet, never had much of a desire to, nor do I buy CD's.. I'm happy listening to the radio for the most part, and if not, then I'll sing me a song... :) Just kidding! (ok maybe not entirely)... but if you think about it, the average person has to reach pretty deep to afford a CD.. then CRIBS.. comes on T.V and shows you just how well the celebrity's are living... its a juxtaposition..!
I guess its different for each of us.. justifications are not subject to relativity, but.... they are subject to cause and effect... !!?
