Copyright ownership and violations

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Explain intellectual property rights as applied to a      scenario.
• Describe violation of copyright privileges as applied to a scenario.

Tasks Requirements

You are the original composer and performing artist of a hot, new pop song. Your music director, Christine, has praised you on your composition and she feels that your song is going to generate significant revenue. You are enthusiastic and talk to your sales manager, Robin, about the projected income.

To your surprise, you learn that your composition has been illegally distributed among a large audience of music lovers and that the expected revenue projections seem to be unachievable. You try to figure out the reasons for the illegal distribution. Robin tells you about peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and how P2P—a social networking tool—is popular for sharing digital music.

With the consent of your entire team, you decide to have a press conference. Robin asks you to emphasize the following points to help your case:

• Violation of your copyright privileges, and how you      feel knowing that thousands of users are simply copying and sharing your      composition, for which they might have paid for otherwise
• Enabling your case as a consideration in the purview of      “fair use” under the law
• Your feeling about the reduction in your expected      income from your creative efforts that you will face due to the unethical      and illegal file sharing technology

For this assignment:

1. To further get everything on record, write a summary      report that includes the following:

• A description of the points you made in the press      conference
• A description of the specific intellectual property      laws that were violated in your case 
• Proposed remedies the law(s) provides for the listed violations

Assignment 1: create a problem statement

Instructions

This week, your first assignment involves creating a problem statement with a thesis in preparation for your Week 5 literature review Be sure to include the following:

• A concise statement that identifies the problem, the issue that you plan to examine.
  • The extent of the problem. Note local, state, or federal statistics on how many people are affected.   
  • The depth of the problem. Explain the impact that this problem has, including any relevant aspects, such as psychological, social, economic, etc.
• A thesis statement is one sentence that states the main idea of a research paper.

Your problem statement must describe your selected capstone topic/issue, reflect on its significance to the workplace and field, and culminate with a thesis statement that will provide the framework your Week 5 literature review. Your thesis statement must be specific and cover exactly what you plan to discuss in your Week 5 literature review.

Length: 1 page  

References: Include a minimum of 2 scholarly resources.

PART 2

In this second part of the assignment, you will construct an annotated outline that builds from your problem statement and thesis statement. Your outline must include the topic and main themes you plan to discuss in your Week 5 Literature Review Paper. Please use peer-reviewed research published in the past 5-7 years. You may also include any government journals that offer statistics on the problem.

While a traditional outline allows you to structure your paper topic and main ideas, an annotated outline takes this traditional outline a step further by requiring you (the researcher) to add citations and evidence to support the main points stated in the outline.

Your annotated outline should follow the format shown in the NCU library resource listed in your weekly resource section and include at least 5 scholarly resources.

There is an expression often used by military historians that says, “Know thy enemy.”

There is an expression often used by military historians that says, “Know thy enemy.” One reason to adhere to such an adage is that knowing your enemy’s philosophy, capabilities, habits, fears, strengths, and more allows one to better design appropriate defenses and preventative measures. This tenet is not always well-considered or remembered, however. 

For this unit, you will think like an adversary of the United States. At the same time, you will consider and describe (or perhaps “invent”) technological concepts and constructs similar to those employed by the U.S. to include communication networks, fusion centers, a viable information sharing environment, and other technologies possibly used in creative ways. (An example is using a cell phone as a remote detonating device for an improvised explosive device (IED).) You may also describe technologies not known in current use, but these choices must have some citable basis in reality. Make such descriptions persuasive if you elect to use these.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in 4–6 pages: 
  • Describe your selected entity—is it a cell, a terrorist network, a nation-state sponsoring terrorists, a conventional nation that opposes the U.S., or some other form? 
    • Your selection and description may be hypothetical, based on real-world organizations or governments, or a combination of both. You are not limited to terrorist organizations or networks. 
  • What are at least 5 main technological types and/or tools used by your selected entity with regard to information sharing and intelligence gathering? Explain. 
  • Describe the adversary’s version of the following: 
    • Communications networks 
    • Fusion centers 
    • Information sharing environment (ISE) 
    • Detection tools 
    • Surveillance capabilities 
  • Assuming your adversary is unconcerned with ethics, describe at least 3 of the unethical or immoral ways this enemy uses technology to attempt to attack or defeat the United States or its allies. 
  • What are 3 unethical ways this entity or its sponsor employs the technologies against their nation’s own population? Explain in detail. 
    • For all of these unethical acts, include details about the motives behind precise uses. 
  • Lastly, having considered in detail the ethical violations involved in studying your enemy’s leveraging of technology, contemplate and discuss under what circumstances or justifiable cases the U.S. might employ similar methods; 
    • Remember to defend your answers with evidence or critically derived arguments. 
• Note: You do not need to necessarily agree with the identified or invented unethical practices; describe them as potential motives, uses, or justifications as objectively as you can, avoiding inserting your opinion or emotion into your answer. 
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style

Psychological and dimensions of terrorism

The U.S. Department of State publishes a list of foreign terrorist organizations. Because of this label, many Americans lack the understanding of what these groups are trying to accomplish. You will hear broad, media-fed statements like, “They want us to live in the Stone Age,” or “They are opposed to our (Western) way of life.” Although these statements may contain some truth, they very often do not fully define what these groups are trying to accomplish. Without this information, how can the government effectively combat these groups’ actions? The reality is that they cannot. The misconceptions are not limited to the general public; many in government are also guided in some cases by them. 

In this assignment you will select one of the individuals from each of the following lists – one pre-WWII terrorist or mass killer and one modern day terrorist or mass killer – and you will compare and contrast these two individuals in terms of profile, background, education, and techniques used.

Pre-WWII Terrorists/Mass Killers

• Maximilien Robespierre 
• John Brown (abolitionist) 
• Gavrilo Princip 

Modern Day Terrorists/Mass Killers

• Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold 
• Timothy McVeigh 
• Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab 
• Ted Kaczynski 
• Anwar al-Awlaki 

Assignment Guidelines

• In 8–10 pages, address the following for the 2 individuals that you have selected: 
  • A biography of the selected individuals. 
  • Goals (defined between political and ideological) 
  • Motivations 
  • Terrorist organization association 
  • Area(s) of operation 
  • Methods of engagement 
  • Legitimate functions (political, social, etc.) 
  • Psychological and cultural makeup 
• For this assignment, you must utilize 4–6 scholarly sources. 
• Compile your responses into your final paper, and submit the file to your instructor.
