Privacy &Confidentiality

New Media have been a useful tool for each person. It helps institutions , such as banks , by doing fastest calculations. estimations and other probabilities. New Media also give the opportunities to people to save time, be more efficient, get information by different sites and also as i talked in my term paper the main purpose of social networks. New Media has some advantages and disadvantages.
New Media  is a source that give the chance to people to learn more information on any topics in a faster way, leave the opportunity to buy, sell online.. However it can be also a negative tool because New Media usually involve the confidentiality of people who are using the Internet or any New Media components.

First , I will talk more about the negative effect on people lives. New Media affected people personal lives. It request such as date of birth, name, middle name, last name, and sometime pictures. After my reading , I understood that privacy and confidentiality can be issues for copyrights and downloading free music, software, movies.As shown in the article, "As Rights Clash on YouTube, Some Music Vanishes" copyrights have been  a very big issue in the new media world. Some musics, movies and other copyrights have been removed.Since we have to give credit to the author who wrote songs, or creator of a movie, to give the opportunity to people to buy their CD or buy their DVD to watch the movie. The New Media is given an easy access to people to watch or being entertained by something that they didn't even pay for it. People can listen to the last album of their favorite artist by linking to YouTube.
This resume as a violation of people  intellectual assets . New media give an easy access to obtain information by not paying anything. Today, IT try to minimize the numbers of copyrights in order to have a justice in the Internet world.

  1. Yes, People should respect other people's intellectual assets and companies have the right to protect their assets. But I believe as long as people give credit to them and make no profit from it why should companies stop them? The companies also get benefit from them because the video they make serve a good advertisement for the companies.
