I'm Internet Phobic!

I would definitely agree with the statement that the internet seems to blurr the lines of the term "legally owned." I mean, just look at the music business! People create things, music, writings, videos etc, and want to share them with others, so they put them up online. It's a great thing, we are so much more knowledgeable and "worldly" because of the information available online at our fingertips. But because it's so easy for people to post online, it's even easier for people to take from the internet and there is almost no proof that it was someone else's creation, so the entire concept of ownership is distorted. It's a pretty messed up situation!

I'm one of the internet-phobic people, I say that even though I attend school online. LOL. I guess I mean that I would NEVER dream of putting anything wildly personal or creative that I did not want to claim as entirely my own online. I'd be too afraid of it being "stolen" and used as someone else's. Instead the things that I choose to put online are things I want to share. I think that if you want to use the internet to post your original creations, you need to be ready to give them away to others, after all, the whole internet is one big collaboration!
