Legal and Ethical Issues

 Should information be free? At the first sight, yes it should be. Every people should be able to reach open-access information easily and for free like journal articles, tv, news, movies, music, and so on. Especially in today's world, it is really difficult to hide or keep private something as long as we have the Internet. However, I belive that there should be a privacy for some informations which is related with government or even the people who created something for public with their ability or their skill. For example, when you download a movie or music for free, it is actually betrayal of labor to the owner/ creator of this art. In New York Times they say "On the other were governments and corporations that argued that some information must be kept private for security or commercial reasons." I totally agree with that. People should respect copyright.
