Copyright

When you write music, you already get it but you also have to request it. You have copyright for 70 to 95 years. Copyright to music means that you are protect from anyone else trying to take your idea. The US current year for public domain is 1978. The difference between public domain and proof of public domain is that public domain is when copyright expires and is in the public. Some rules for copyright is you cannot reproduce the music or lyrics, you Ccannot perform the music/lyrics in public, and you cannot play a recording of the music or lyrics in public.

One famous case on music or lyrics for copyright was Vinalla Ice vs Queen & Bowie. In 1990 Vanilla admitted he had sampled Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” without consent or license. Ice Ice Baby hit number one on the charts in the United States. Vanilla Ice altered the rhythm of the baseline thinking he would thereby avoid any question of credit, royalties, license or even permission but he was wrong. Vanilla Ice ended up paying Queen & Bowie a large amount of money.

Identity Theft

Some of the mistakes she made was that she used her debit card too often and would use it for small and large purchases. Also that she would never use her credit card because she didn't want to pay it off later and instead just know she had money in her account and pay then.

I think identity theft is common these days because the economy is so low and people need money and so they think "why not use someone elses money?"

People would need the persons security number, phone number, address, and credit card number.

Don't carry too many credit cards, debit cards or other information with personal information in my wallet. Don't use the debit card so much and have one with a small amount of money in the account to minimize how much of cash can be stolen.

I think it is both peoples fault for stealing it and not having enough protection and common sense.

New Technology

As I look for new technology, something catches my eye on http://www.gizmag.com/ and that was "throwable" robots in Afghnistan. This new technology has the ability to be thrown and deploy in places that soilders need to see that they cant from their veiw. I think this will be a big part in the military and will help and save soilders fighting in Afghanistan.
