This is: "Thou shalt not use a computer to steal." As a teacher, I frequently overhear students talking to each other about what content they have obtained without paying for it: books, music, movies, television shows, games; if it is content that should be paid for, chances are that students have found a way to obtain it without paying. They talk with each other and recommend their favorite websites or ways that they prefer to use to steal this content. As an English teacher who unfortunately has to deal with plagiarism several times each school year, I find this particularly frustrating. Students also frequently use materials they do not have the right to, such as images they found online or trademarked language, that they then try to claim as their own and sell online in places such as RedBubble. They are literally taking content they did not create and trying to make money from it. The second most violated Commandment is probably, sadly, number one: "Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people." Cyber bullying impacts students all over the world every single day, yet students continue posting offensive content, leaving rude comments, and hiding behind the computer screen to send hurtful messages.]]> 2021-10-02 22:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786504131 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786504284 These violations likely occur for several reasons. The first is that, unfortunately, based on what I have overheard, it sounds relatively simple to steal content that should be paid for. If a student mentions she wants to watch a movie that is currently in theaters but does not feel like going to the theater, without missing a beat, another student will chime in with the URL of his favorite website that he uses to watch films. Often, even more students will join in on the conversation with what they do. While I often interrupt and tell them that they should not be doing that, I know it has little impact overall. The second reason is that students may not completely understand copyright; aside from stealing content like movies or books, students also frequently use images in their projects and presentations that they do not actually have the right to use, or, as mentioned, try to sell content online that they did not create. The third reason is that students likely cannot afford all of the content they want access to when they do not have a job or maybe have a part-time job; while most of their parents can afford it in my school district, the ease with which they can get the content on their computers likely outweighs the need to ask their parents and potentially be told "No" or be asked to complete a chore first. The fourth reason is that, because so many students are stealing content online, it likely cancels out any guilt a student might feel for stealing.]]> 2021-10-02 22:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786504284 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786504479 Several steps could be taken to reduce or eliminate the unethical behavior of using computers to steal content. While I know the companies that should be paid for the content have taken steps to try to ensure the content is not stolen, perhaps developing a new software or hiring people to have the specific job of looking for where the content is being stolen could help. If teenagers in high school can find content for free when they should not be able to in a few minutes or less, then so should a specially designed software or an adult who is being paid to. This could help in cracking down on the websites and whatever back-way students are finding to get the content. If it becomes more and more difficult and/or inconvenient for students to steal content, then they may be more likely to pay for it. RedBubble, for example, has a way of catching content and taking it down; a student tried selling "artwork" of a college's logo, and it got removed. Also, hopefully educating the students on the seriousness of stealing content could help; this may be particularly effective to students who create their own content or who want to be involved in creating content in the future. This step of educating students on copyright and treatment of online content should be (and likely is) mandatory and written into the curriculum of any technology or computer class.]]> 2021-10-02 22:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786504479 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786539820 2021-10-02 23:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786539820 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786540327 2021-10-02 23:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786540327 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786540702 2021-10-02 23:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786540702 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786541159 2021-10-02 23:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786541159 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786541623 2021-10-02 23:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786541623 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786547984 2021-10-02 23:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786547984 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786548395 2021-10-02 23:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786548395 michellethomas7 https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786548681 2021-10-02 23:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/michellethomas7/3q4eb8lypvb9me0r/wish/1786548681
