Copyright Morality - 21st Century Style December 25, 2007
Posted by Matthew Woolums in 21st-Century, Articles/Videos.trackback
I’ve enjoyed reading books and articles from David Pogue for many years now. Recently he posted an article for the New York Times titled: The Generational Divide in Copyright Morality. In the article, he describes a series of questions posed to his audiences that provide an interesting perspective into the ethical thinking of the future leaders of America. If you’ve ever wanted a way to initiate a discussion about copyright, David Pogue’s questions provide an opportunity. Here is my favorite question:
“I record a movie off of HBO using my DVD burner. Who thinks that’s wrong?” (No hands go up. Of course not; time-shifting is not only morally O.K., it’s actually legal.)
