Online File Sharing.

I believe that if the United States were to follow in the UK's footsteps, that many people would be affected. I personally wouldnt be affected, because i dont use limewire or any other file sharing program. Many other americans would be affected though. Downloading movies and music are illegal. But so many people do it. When I first tried limewire, it came with lots and lots of viruses. due to sharing music with god knows how many people frm all over the world, my computer was infected. and i learned my lesson when it came to the bill to get the computer fixed. sharing each others files is not a good thing. and will get you in trouble.
Intellectual property is basically liek a copyright. its a personal way to protect your own things with a copyright. it is important because if you dont have one then other people can take your ideas and get credit for the things you did. if we didnt have them then our nation would be full of liars who got their information form others who came up with great ideas, then get nothing in return for them.
