BLOG TOPIC: Week 9: Media Ethics/Media Law



In 2011, Limewire was sued and shut down for copyright infringement. Limewire was sued for assisting users in pirating digital recordings by music publishers. More then 30 music publishers were included in this case. I think it was a good thing that they were shut down because music artists should be paid for their work. No one should work for nothing and that was what Limewire was doing. Limewire was allowing people to download files of movies and music for free and in my opinion thats not right. From music artists to actors to regular joes, everyone should be paid for what they do.
