Evolution of Piracy and Corresponding LegislationPrior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 5 in the textbook and view the Digital (Links to an external site.)Piracy(Links to an external site.)(Links to an external site.) and Steve Wozniak: Digital Piracy(Links to an external site.) videos. You must include at least one additional scholarly and/or professional source for your paper. You may wish to review the recommended resources for this week for assistance with this research. You may also access the MSCJ Professional Sources(Links to an external site.) guide for assistance with finding appropriate resources.Theft of intellectual property, such as music and video recordings, has been commonplace for many years. During the 1970s and 1980s portable inexpensive recording devices made piracy of video and music relatively easy to accomplish. With the advent of the MP3 and MP4 formats utilized to compress large files for data storage and portability, piracy has flourished. Motion pictures, music, and data can now be easily accessed via small personal computerized devices such as cellular phones, tablets, and MP3 players. In addition, large files can be easily stored on digital flash drives often no bigger than a coin. This has enabled digital pirates to safely store movies, music, and data for transport to locations on a global scale.In this paper, you mustAnalyze the technical evolution of digital piracy including the impact of new digital formats such as CD, DVD, MP3, and MP4 to intellectual property piracy.Explain the growth of innovative file sharing such as peer-to-peer (P2P) and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and their impact on the methods for detecting and preventing intellectual property piracy.Trace the evolution of legislation and organizations such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Copyright Act of 1976, No Electronic Theft (NET) Act, and Directive 91/250/EEC/2009/24/EC designed to curtail and prevent digital piracy.The Evolution of Piracy and Corresponding Legislation paper:Must be three to five double-spaced pages (750-1,250 words) in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center(Links to an external site.).Must include a separate title page with the following:Title of paperStudent’s nameCourse name and numberInstructor’s nameDate submittedMust use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.Required ResourcesTextHolt, T.

Explain how these methods and sources would influence the completeness of case identification as well as the case definition/diagnostic criteria used.

Descriptive epidemiology deals with describing disease patterns using three major categories: person, place, or time (Friis Sellers, 2021).Consider the following exampleOver the last weekend, six people went to the Alcan City Hospital emergency room with similar symptoms. The laboratory results for the six patients were indicative of an infection due to Escherichia coli (E. coli). Patient interviews revealed they had all eaten a meal at Sam’s Sandwich Food Truck during the Alcan City Fair within 48 hours of going to the hospital. Further inquiries by the Alcan City public health officials identified that the source of the E. coli contamination was the lettuce that Sam’s had purchased from ML Produce (a produce supplier located in Tempe, Arizona). Epidemiologists from the Arizona State Health Department determined that the lettuce that ML supplied Sam’s was from a farm located in Xion, California (the key supplier for ML Produce).Aside from the six patients who sought treatment, epidemiologists tracked down and conducted interviews with 400 of the fair attendees to identify any potential cases who did not seek treatment and compare data with those who attended but did not become ill. Interview questions pertained to descriptive aspects of the outbreak (person, place, and time). Analysis of data collected on foods eaten allowed the epidemiologists to narrow it down and identify sandwiches served by Sam’s Sandwich Food Truck at the fair on Saturday as the source of infection. Alcan City public health officials were quick to visit the food truck to inquire into their food management and handling. The food truck owner was cooperative and helpful in providing licensing, permits, operations, and sales information.Descriptive epidemiologic studies are often conducted as precursors to analytic studies. Epidemiologic concepts are used to gather data to better understand and evaluate health trends in populations. Data, such as characteristics of the persons affected, place where an incident occurred, and time of occurrence, are collected and analyzed to look for patterns in an effort to identify emerging health problems. It was in just this way that the HIV/AIDS epidemic was first identified.In this Discussion, you will apply the epidemiologic concepts of time, place, and person to a specific population health problem. You will also consider methods for obtaining data to study an issue.To prepare:Examine Table 2.2 in your Curley textbook. Select a topic from the table to use for this Discussion.Locate two scholarly articles that provide background information about the problem.Identify a specific population affected by your selected health problem.Research the patternsof the disease in your selected population using the epidemiologic characteristics of person, place, and time.Consider methods for obtaining data to examine the association you selected.Ask yourself: How would the methods I select influence the accuracy of case identification, definition, and diagnosis?By Day 3 of Week 2Posta cohesive response that addresses the following:Describe your selected health problem using the epidemiologic model (person, place, and time), with a focus on the population affected by this problem.Discuss sampling methods you could use to collect primary data to describe and study your health problem.Identify two secondary data sources that you could use to collect the data needed to address this topic.Explain how these methods and sources would influence the completeness of case identification as well as the case definition/diagnostic criteria used.
