Discussion on Music Piracy
It is an age of technology. The internet is used for everything from shopping to chatting to doing homework. But one particular area of interest recently has been media piracy. Meaning the downloading of copyrighted music for free off of the internet. There have been lawsuits carried out, and it’s not necessarily the kids getting in trouble… In New York, a 12 year old girl was sharing files over the internet, and her mom was slapped with a $2000 civil lawsuit by the Recording Industry Association of America. The more common name for music piracy these days is “peer to peer” or, using the slick computer lingo, “p2p” But, here in Alaska, a lot of kids don’t really fear a lawyer popping up on their doorstep with a lawsuit in hand. I hosted a roundtable discussion with two students form Chugiak High School to see what some local teenagers think about this rising concern.
