I have been writing about movies from different countries or movies that show different cultures in my blog, and therefore I have chosen the theme of my final essay to be about piracy. As internet became common, people started to upload and share a lot of things online. Though as soon as this started, internet piracy have come up as one of the major problems in internet community. Sharing copyrighted files are illegal and governements are having a hard time restricting such actions. On the other hand, internet have spread throughout the globe and now since people can access files from different parts of the world, piracy problem have become worldwide.
Since internet piracy is a problem all around the world, I want to look into piracy from differnt cultural perspective. I am hoping to find out how people's reactions and government's actions are different depending on the culture. furthermore, I also want to see how internet piracy is affecting the economy and the society.
As I research about the topic there were some questions that came into my mind.
Some questions that I wondered are..
Should governments restrict internet piracy? What, if any, benefits do governmental laws bring to internet piracy? and since the internet has spread around the world, shouldn't the world have a universal law about internet piracy that all countries should follow?
So far my thesis looks like..
The spread in internet piracy brought great challenges to governments: if they should restrict piracy by making a law, or keeping as it is to protect human rights.
I'll credit this one as blog post #7 (due June 9).
返信削除The research question proposed here looks good, but doesn't indicate your position (which is fine). Your thesis, however, is confusing. What human rights are infringed? What do the laws really do? Is piracy inevitable? Is law-making against movie piracy a losing battle? I'm struggling to see how you'll persuade your reader at this stage, but I'm sure you'll find a good way to shape the argument soon.
