BBC NEWS | Technology | File-sharers are big spenders too
"People who download music illegally also spend an average of £77 a year buying it legitimately, a survey has found.
Those who claimed not to use peer-to-peer filesharing sites such as The Pirate Bay spent a yearly average of just £44.
Almost one in 10 of those questioned aged between 16 and 50 said they downloaded music illegally. "

"Why am I doing this? Because my problem isn't piracy, it's obscurity (thanks, @timoreilly for this awesome aphorism). Because free ebooks sell print books. Because I copied my ass off when I was 17 and grew up to spend practically every discretionary cent I have on books when I became an adult. Because I can't stop you from sharing it (zeroes and ones aren't ever going to get harder to copy); and because readers have shared the books they loved forever; so I might as well enlist you to the cause."
Is It Safe to Post Children’s Images on Online Photo Sites? - NYTimes.com
"“Research shows that there is virtually no risk of pedophiles coming to get kids because they found them online,” said Stephen Balkam, chief executive of the Family Online Safety Institute. While the debate makes this crime seem common, he said, all the talk is really just “techno-panic.”
Prof. David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, says TV shows like the “Dateline NBC” program “To Catch a Predator” have falsely inflated the danger of the Internet.
“There is this characterization of pedophiles using the Internet as an L. L. Bean catalog, but this is not the way it happens,” he said. Predators are much more likely to look in chat rooms or other sites, he said, where teenagers are suggesting that they may be open to a sexual relationship.
The real danger is that a photo is appropriated and mistreated. "

Add Sticky NoteRegardless of what danger may come to your children by posting pictures, there is one hazard whose existence no one can question: other parents. And their wrath could be enough to make anyone think twice before posting photos of little Charlie’s fourth birthday party.
- This is an interesting entry into social tools for parents. They need to be taught at the very least to monitor how other people are using photos of their own children. - on 2009-10-29

Langwitches » Teaching Students About Using Images off Wikipedia
So, Step two was an opportunity to revisit and reinforce copyright issues students encounter when creating digital projects involving images.
Allowing my elementary school students to “freely” search for images on the web is not an option.
At the beginning of this school year, I had created a Media Library on our server, where I placed public domain and creative commons licensed images, sounds and video clips to be used in projects.
