New Media Usage: Anthropological and Ethical perspectives


When books came out and music wasn't still on CD's, people probably wondered who had the right to what. Did only the authors that write the books or the artists that made the music have a right over these things or anyone who buys it does? As media advances the question still remains but it is getting increasingly harder to decide because it is getting easier for people to share, copy and use these materials. In my presentation, I would like to look at both sides of the story and try to come to a conclusion as to what is ethical and what is not. Though there are ethical values as doing the right thing are in question we can not ignore the fact that this same new media is spreading all over the world socially and anthropologically. I would like to look in to the anthropological side of the New Media too.
