Copyright Holder's Argument Analysis

Decent Essays
I think it raised a good question but did not support the argument with enough facts therefore I was not persuaded. I would have discussed the medium where this battle is being waged more, YouTube, and how it works. Present the side of the copyright holder and how they feel their property is being used for the gain of another. Then point by point take apart the copyright holders argument, using the dancing baby as a example. Finally ending with the videos of happy dancers and the argument it is just people doing what they have always done just in 21st century

    Ethics are the moral duty and obligation that a company has plan to abide by. The authors seem to agree that most malfeasance isn’t caused by greed or opportunism. The general consensus of the authors is that malfeasance is caused by the negligence and over promising of the workers and those in charge. The negligence/over promising is found specifically on the part of the higher ups such as the CEO’s and the board of directors. They choose to overlook a problem and act as if everything is okay choosing instead to pay any lawsuits that they may encounter if it is cheaper than calling a recall.…

    Singer’s premises are so judiciously phrased that it invites non-consequentialist acceptance. Moreover Singer applies the principle to a simple experiment which offers clarity in comparing the moral significance: “If I am walking past a shallow pond and see a child drowning in it, I ought to wade in and pull the child out. This will mean getting my clothes muddy but this is insignificant, while the death of the child would presumably be a very bad thing." (Singer, 1972). It can be assumed that one’s ethical views are of little to no import, when wet and muddy clothes are entirely insignificant compared to death of a child.…

    This article examines Canadian Copyright Law as it was in 1996 and how it pertained to educators and school practices. The study questions some of the defences of infringement committed by educators and highlights that many are aware that they are infringing on copyright law but believe that their educational stance and position as an educator protects them from legal action. Walker clearly identifies that many educators in his study were aware of copyright legislation but remained passive about their obligations, consequently forgoing any notions of ‘fair dealing’ to ensure that students received as much knowledge as quickly as possible. He highlights that financial pressures and time are issues facing educators.…

    Hello Martin, You make some pretty bold statements in your response to Randy's comment. Do you have any reasonable proof or sources that would back up your assertion that "the media supported the will of one man with no regards to the future. "? You also state that it was for a false cause (WMDs), what are your reasons for saying that? These are very bold statements with nothing to back them up.…

    In Peter Singer’s argument, the reader is forced to analyze the morality of their day-to-day lives. Singer’s ethical argument challenges ordinary consumers to change their unnoticeable immoral routines of disregarding charitable donations. He argues there is no moral difference between a man letting a child drown so his shoes are not ruined and someone buying luxury items instead of donating that money to a relief agency. In this paper, I will clarify any relevant terminology, elucidate Singers argument, discuss the claims on a moral difference, and ultimately defend the claim that proximity is not morally relevant. Clarifying any terminology: moral duty or obligation means a duty which one owes, and which he ought to preform, but which he…

    Writing in November 1971, Peter Singer condemns developed nations for not making the necessary decisions to save East Bengalis from evitable starvation, violence, and disease. Even the most prominent aid contributors such as Britain and Australia spend much more on domestic luxury projects than on reducing fellow human suffering. Using Bengal as an example, Singer asserts that people have a moral obligation to give significant amounts of money to aid organizations. In disagreement, I will argue that we also have a right to keep our earnings because we have entitlements in terms of autonomy. While giving significant amounts of money to charity may be a morally positive act, it is not a moral obligation.…

B. (2015) Products of the mind, without having even begun can be more valuable than current assets, intellectual property can mean the future success of a company. In the case of Marvel Worldwide, Inc. v.

    It was not as if they were making up how racism was a problem and that people were not treated equally in the eyes of the law. Producing the video definitely felt strange. However, reading aloud and then watching myself on my laptop deepened the meaning of what I was saying. Another lesson taken away from this assignment was the fact that there are no women’s rights organizations asking for the banishment of this book. Women were treated poorly in this book, which was also a fact of the past, and there seems to be no issue.…

    Since the Supreme Court's inception, there has been considerable debate on its proper role in government. This discourse includes disagreements over the proper role of courts in comparison to legislatures, as well as significant dispute on the degree of rigidity necessary when interpreting the language of the Constitution. From this discourse, two opposing schools of thought have formed: proponents of judicial activism and the implicit ideal of loose constructionism against proponents of judicial restraint and the implicit ideal of strict constructionism. Judicial activism and the "living constitution" interpretation are often criticized for being undemocratic.…

    In this essay I am going to explore the libertarian standpoint on justice, and consider the objections to such a rights based view of justice. Furthermore, I am going to examine how a just libertarian society would function, and consider the value of justice in comparison to the political virtues of liberty, and equality. Libertarianism promotes justice in two ways; it ponders the moral duties we have to others, but also the moral constitutional duties we have. At the crux of libertarian ideology is the belief that humans, as autonomous beings, have self-ownership, and a right to individual liberty. This motivates libertarians to believe that a minimal state is preferable to the present type of government, but also affirm that…
