Copyright

We looked at copyright this morning. We talked about the copyright of stuff that you find online. We had an interesting discussion about music. I think that music is too expensive and that there is nothing wrong with copying music from download sites. But my teacher explained that this is illegal and takes money away from bands. She told me that downloading music from illegal websites is stealing their "intellectual property rights".

We were not allowed to download music. So we looked at various websites where you can download music. We looked at a site called MP3.com where you can download free music. My favourite was Napster where you have to pay for music but there is a big selection of songs. Napster is legal but my friends told the teacher that they sometimes use program like Limewire to get music without paying which is not legal.
