Intellectual Property

a.) Intellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind for which a set of exclusive rights are recognized—and the corresponding fields of law.
b.) Two services an ISP provides to Internet users are access to the internet and servicer. With an ISP the user can be granted access to the Internet where they can use search engines, use e-mail, and social networking sites where they can communicate with other guys. ISPs can leave server space for people that need if they are making a company or business.
c.)Two ways a home computer network could be adversely affected by the use of sharing files is by developing viruses from the shared files. The shared files could be come corrupt if they are shared because they are not authorized and they would not be safe to go to a home computer if the computer did not have Security it would affect the network. Another way is the reduction of speed on the computer because the file would be shared and it would not have the same quality as it would if it was not shared, this would affect the computer and the files that are stored.
d.) The implications for the music industry of governments regulating the use of P2P sites for file sharing would be that they would not have as many people downloading their songs because people would have to pay for them. Their popularity would go down, however more people would buy their CDs and songs on Itunes rather than sharing all of the files........finish later
