...“Additional Enhancements to Combat Intellectual Property Theft”. The main aim of SOPA is that give the judicial departments of United States more rights to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods in other areas and other countries. “Combating Online Privacy” attempts to provide tools to law enforcement. “Additional Enforcements to Combat Intellectual Property Theft” clarifies criminal law as applied to intellectual property rights. With the protection of SOPA, lawmakers want to encourage new writings, research, products and services. Because in the old day American inventors, authors, and entrepreneurs have been forced to stand by and watch as their works are stolen by foreign infringers beyond the reach of current U.S. law. As the time goes by, more and more people lose the drive of creating innovations. Therefore, United States is badly in need of founding laws to protecting these people’s right. According to the standards and rules of SOPA, rights holder could relate the responsibility only to the intermediary companies. These companies mainly host, link to, and provide e-commerce around the American innovation content. Most of these companies are the famous...

...But what if this highway had a toll booth with three options; an extremely expensive ipass allowing rich websites to pass easily to your desktop, a normal priced toll with no ipass slowing down poorer sites, and the toll could turn away any website they like. Internet service providers are trying to push for this kind of internet, a money based internet where they don’t have to show any competitors websites at all. This doesn't sound like a good thing for the internet we know and love. In order to protect the fundamental principle that the internet was based on, and small web-based companies, net neutrality Must be protected and preserved. To understand why Net Neutrality must be preserved first you have to understand it, the economics of it, the arguments against the system, and the effect its change would have on small web-based companies. Net Neutrality can be defined very simply, that all websites are treated equally and distributed to the consumer or business equally. According to Tim wu, a professor at Columbia law School, he says on his personal website article Network Neutrality FAQ “The idea is that a maximally useful public information network aspires to treat all content, sites, and platforms equally.” What he is saying here is that basic concept of Net Neutrality is that no matter what provider, or platform (computer, tablet, or phone e.t.c) all content must be treated with equal delivery privileges. In other words, large companies can’t buy the top internet...

...Online Piracy Act is a United State bill that is aimed at increasing the ability of United State law to fight online trafficking of counterfeits goods and copyrighted property. Stop Online Privacy Act was introduced by Lamar smith who is a representative in the United States. Therefore, Stop Online Piracy Act targets pirate bay, which are mostly used by individuals for illegal downloads. These pirate bays are mostly the overseas sites such as torrent hub that are frequently accessed by most individuals. Stop Online Piracy Act has various provisions (Crothers, 2012). Firstly, SOPA requires the courts to put up requests that are aimed at ensuring that both the online payment facilities and advertising networks refrain from using the infringing websites to conduct their business activities. Secondly, Stop Online Piracy Act requires the courts to have orders that ensure that internet service providers do not have access to the infringing websites. The final provision of Stop Online Piracy Act states that all search engines such as Google should not link to the infringing websites. Therefore, SOPA provisions are aimed at including piracy of copyrighted content in the criminal laws that will attract a maximum of five years imprisonment.

Those who embrace the bill states that it will help in expanding the copyright laws since its goals aim at protecting the intellectual-property markets (Leake, 2012). Secondly, Stop...

...jobs, and wages. Battling online theft is a daily challenge for copyright owners. Digital piracy occurs when creative works such as graphics, photos, movies, songs, or text are distributed online without the consent of the artist, creator, or author and is in direct violation of copyright laws. (Artists Against Digital Theft) These thieves are often referred to as digital pirates. These pirates often setup professional and well-designed websites that trick consumers into believing they are legal. These websites are usually hosted overseas so that digital pirates can avoid requests to remove illegal content. It is very costly and time consuming for copyright owners to pursue international litigation to stop illegal distribution of their creative works. (Artists Against Digital Theft) In an attempt to stop digital piracy, the creative community is uniting together to “champion the rights of artists.” (Artists Against Digital Theft) A website called, Stop Stealing My Future, hosts a contest to help raise awareness about digital piracy. Artists upload videos of themselves explaining how digital piracy affects jobs and the digital arts industry. (Stop Stealing My Future) Another website called, Artists Against Digital Theft, provides information about the problem, the solution, and provides ways to take action against digital theft. In addition to the creative community, there are also government agencies and organizations taking part in the fight against digital piracy. Government...

...CIPA: Internet Filtering in Schools and Libraries Minors are being exposed to more adult content today due to the Internet. The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was created to prevent children from accessing obscene or harmful content in schools and libraries. Yet there are groups that want to abolish the law because they feel it violates their first amendment rights of freedom of speech. CIPA is trying to protect children from viewing content not intended for them just like an R rated movie is not for children under seventeen years of age. Internet filters are needed in schools and libraries to keep minors from accessing sexually explicit, violent or otherwise adult in nature content. CIPA ("Federal Communications Commission: Children’s Internet Protection Act," 2014) was first passed into law in December of 2000. Schools and libraries that received federal E-Rate funding and discounts must certify that they have internet filtering to prevent minors from viewing obscene or harmful content. “Schools subject to CIPA have two additional certification requirements: 1) their Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors; and 2) as required by the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, they must provide for educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response.”("Federal Communications Commission...

...into play in the year 2000. This law was put through by Congress to help make known the content that children are able to access within schools and libraries that are not appropriate for their age. Before the CIPA was implemented and made a law by the federal government it was very easy for children to look up information without any consent from an adult. Even today there is no way that an adult could stay by a computer with a child to watch what he or she are doing. This is where CIPA comes into effect. Many issues and advances of computer technology made the internet a gateway to information and content that could be streamed very easy. Because of this the CIPA was able create and ensure internet safety by making blocking features so negative content cannot be filtered through. This applies to all school and library computers with the possibility of having content such as but not limited to child pornography and violent games or videos. Almost all schools receive aid and funds to make sure that they abide by this law. Another act that was put through that is similar to CIPA is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act also known as COPPA. This law was passed in 1998 to assist parents in keeping track with what information their children are posting on the internet. With the internet getting very popular children are now using it for everything such as surfing the web for information and using it to help complete homework. There are now websites that require users to enter their...

...understanding that the laws that apply to traditional businesses also apply to e-business. My concern is the company will have greater legal exposure because of the ability of consumer access worldwide and twenty-four hours a day. Any controls that could be implemented prior to the launch would be ideal. My goal is to avoid future e-commerce legal problems by planning a legal risk management strategy and implementing industry best practices. My understandings of the issues are documented below. Please be prepared to clarify any misunderstandings I may have during our meeting next week. Issue 1. Types of intellectual property applicable to e-business Wikipedia (2006) describes intellectual property as ¡§a legal entitlement, which sometimes attaches to the expressed form of an idea, or to some other intangible subject matter. This legal entitlement generally enables its holder to exercise exclusive rights of use in relation to the subject matter of the intellectual property. The term intellectual property reflects the idea that this subject matter is the product of the mind or the intellect, and that intellectual property rights may be protected at law in the same way as any other form of property.¡¨ The main types of intellectual property are trademarks, patents and copyrights. Trademarks will protect our company brand, patents will protect the inventions and copyrights will protect computer software literary work etc. In addition, trademark law will protect business information...

Maybe it's Maybelline. [2] History The Maybelline Company was created by New York chemist T.L. Williams in 1915. Williams, in his early 30's noticed his younger sister applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look. He adapted it in his small laboratory and produced a product sold locally called Lash-Brow-Ine. The product was a local hit, but the awkward name held it back. His sister, who inspired the product, was named Maybel. So T.L. Williams renamed it Maybelline, a combination of Maybel and Vaseline. It is under this name that Maybelline has achieved its now legendary...
