About intellectual property

About intellectual property, you can write much ... just type in the search engine what is the intellectual property, and receive a lot of definition. The concept of intellectual property is primarily a matter of law. 
As intellectual property is considered for example, inventions, trademarks, utility models, industrial designs, geographical indications. However, in today's era of computerization of life - first thought always goes around downloading illegal mp3 or books.
Evidence of this is information, which recently came across on the Internet. Well, author of the book has received some e-mail with an unusual request - a man who has downloaded a copy of the book nieuatoryzowaną asked where he could buy a legal copy. The author not only rebuked a pirate, but I thanked him for contacting us. The man who signs up as Ben wrote to Andy Harris, author of books on technology to create Web sites. Ben admitted that not having money for his book, he decided to get an unauthorized copy of it from the network. Then, when the situation has improved, he decided to pay the author. Therefore, asked him in an e-mail, what is the latest edition of the book and where to buy them to ensure the greatest revenues to the author.
The situation described above is proof that the donation of his own work without someone demanding money is nothing new or extraordinary. This is indeed inscribed in the humanity. What did Andy Harris, it was human, and very inappropriate at this time would call a "thief" of his lover.
We are witnessing that many years of major copyright holders are trying to convince us that they make the culture .. They do feel that the majority culture is publishing a work of creativity is only marginal.
An example of what I wrote, there are many authors who promote their books on torentach. These people argue that P2P has helped them succeed. Their works are downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.The collected data show that the real problem for many authors it is not in piracy, but in the fact that the books lost in the rush of hundreds of thousands of others.

What does it prove? That we need a new approach to create works of art - both music and books. Thanks to the work of the network can reach a wider audience. The key is to plan it wisely. It is important to the authors, artists or think about or make up something to lay on the shelves, or to reach to the widest possible audience.Intellectual property protection is most needed, but the authors should be aware that the user is not impossible. Therefore, it becomes important to be able to give users access to these works in human terms. Then both parties will be satisfied.

Instead of a restrictive policy of prohibitions and penalties - need to create constructive solutions

The enemy of privacy ... google

Recently I came across an article in which, the results of research conducted by Privacy International (PI), an organization dedicated to including protection of human rights to privacy. It investigated 23 well-known companies in the world by assessing the extent to which they respect the privacy of users of its services. It turns out that privacy is not so, as we all believe that the right to privacy, the most breaks Facebook. Nothing could be further from the truth. Privacy is an enemy to the browser, with which each of us daily use - Google, which is worldwide known mainly from a search engine, but also other services. As soon as we enter into a google search immediately collects a huge amount of personal information about us and about our conduct in the network.

I read also that Google recently acquired New York-based Internet advertising firm Double Click, which offers, among others technologies for monitoring the results of advertising campaigns in the network (for example, to collect information about maintaining the network of people who had seen the ads, etc...)

After all the protests and the processes of Google's commitment to removing the data collected about users of its search engine after 18 months.
Google is primarily criticized for the fact that they kept the mass of data about users and their behavior on the network. Google is not only the world's dominant search engine, but also many other Internet services, such as e-mail.

I do not know if using this search engine every day, we realize that collect and combine all available data allows the company to gain a huge knowledge of the Internet, including the knowledge of what you are looking for a network, what are their interests, etc.

It should be borne in mind that whenever you look for some information via Google, or look through your mail, you're really in one second we're not talking about privacy.
