Wikipedia

If you use Google or other search engines Wikipedia is going to come up for a lot of the searches. A pro about Wikipedia is it is easy to find information. A con is the information isn't always true.

computer use

I'd use my computer for emailing, searching the internet, pictures, and word processing. I also want to keep music on my computer, a lap top preferably. My budget is $1,000.

Net Neutrality

The term net neutrality means free of restrictions on content, sites, or platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and on the modes of communication allowed, as well as one where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams, from wikipedia. The four freedoms are principles dating to 2005 that guarantee that cable and DSL users have the right to use the devices, services and programs over their connections. If a net was not neutral we could face problems like slow service and hard time finding things. Large telecommunication companies oppose net neutrality because it makes the internet slower. The net neutrality issue affects wireless communications like cell phones by slower service to wireless cell phones, internet on cell phones would be harder to use. My opinion is the net should be neutral.

Joel Tenenbaum is a 25 year old, Boston University graduate student who is being sued in federal court in Boston, alleging that he used the KaZaA peer-to-peer network to infringe copyrights in 30 sound recordings that they own. Joel is only the second of about 18,000 similar cases against individual accused p2p users to have made it all the way to trial. This case affects people who illegally share and download music because the use of p2p networks to download and "share" music without permission or payment is illegal, and has serious consequences which will show people who

illegally gain music will stop in fear of getting caught, or people will be encouraged to see if they will be caught. This case will affect Apple and other distributors by gaining buisness from downloaders, because people won't want to be sued over thousands of dollars they'll just pay the small fee on Apple for the songs, and do it legally.
