The Law

Copyright, it is said, is one of the great balancing acts of the law. The rights it confers embody the basic tension between encouraging optimal creation and consumption of works; their boundaries reflect delicate compromises between creators, consumers, disseminators, and many other interest groups. These conflicts are exemplified in the enforcement of copyright against internet intermediaries. Copyright owners assert that almost one-quarter of global internet traffic, 80 per cent of YouTube videos, and 97 per cent of BitTorrent transmissions infringe their copyrights. Although the prevalence of unauthorised content appears to be declining with the growth of legitimate services, digital piracy remains widespread. The services responsible for routing, storing, and processing these data deny responsibility for policing infringements, citing the impracticability of monitoring and their inability to adjudicate claims of infringement, while internet users fear disproportionate interferences with privacy, internet access, and innovation.

This paper sets out to explain how adolescents interpret piracy. Digital piracy is one of the most important risk behaviours mediated by new media to be found among adolescents. It is global, and changes dynamically due to the continued development of the information society. To explore the phenomena related to piracy among adolescent Internet users we need to apply qualitative research methods. The sample contained 1320 Polish respondents. The research used the technique of qualitative research. Data was collected using a form containing an open question. Adolescents will answer in the form how they interpret digital piracy. The categories characterize how piracy is perceived, and includes downloading various files—whether video or music files or even software (also games)—from unauthorized sources (P2P—Peer-to-peer ‘warez’ servers—websites which serve as repositories of illegal files). The qualitative data analysis allowed the identification of the following constructs in the perception of digital piracy by adolescents: ethical (giving value to the phenomenon), economical (showing profits and losses), legal (connected with punitive consequences and criminal liability), praxeological (facilitating daily life), technical (referring to the hardware necessary), social (the scale of the phenomenon and interpersonal relations), and personal benefits. The results fit into the discussion on the standard and hidden factors connected with piracy. The presented seven categories of the perception of piracy help us better understand the phenomenon of the infringement of intellectual property law and will help to develop appropriate preventive measures. Qualitative research makes it possible to understand the phenomenon of piracy from a deeper perspective, which can be translated into the design of effective educational measures. Preventive guidance on minimising risky behaviour is part of the development of one of the key competences, namely digital knowledge and skills. The research allowed us to enrich the theoretical knowledge on risky behaviours in cyberspace among adolescents (theoretical aim), to understand how to interpret risky behaviours in cyberspace (understanding of micro-worlds—cognitive aim), and to gather new knowledge that will be useful for prevention (practical aim).

This article is about the problem of conflict in the frame of the formation and development postcapitalist tendencies in society. The result of the introduction of digital technologies in economic is the formation of a number of new types of products — information, knowledge, communication. The non-material type of the product doesn’t keep within the settled and a little mobile laws of material economy, that’s why the law of cost and the law of the surplus value need revision. The Internet as a platform for free exchange and distribution of information and knowledges appears the place of deployment of the conflicts between capitalist monopoles, the state and Internet users. It doesn’t exist accurate criteria, methodology and the theory which allow to create a clear boundary between «piracy» and the possibility of free distribution of information in network space. The ideology of Open Source calls into the question copyright and creates prerequisites for revision of the intellectual property rights concerning a digital product. Monetization of knowledge, information, communication in digital space conducts to the fact that the Internet becomes the additional platform for the generation of profit for the monopolistic corporations. Whereas there is a possibility for using an Internet platform as powerful resource for cooperation, mutual aid and collective production of innovations necessary for development of society. The conflict between capitalist corporations, the state and users can be resolved in case of revision the economic and precepts of law in relation to the digital space with the purpose to draw line between lawful and illegal distribution of non-material products, having kept an opportunity for creative and free using the Internet platform as a resource of social production of the innovations.

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the important role of telehealth to safe continuity of care. Regional variation in internet access and telehealth use are well-documented, but how neighborhood factors, including pervasiveness of broadband internet, affects older adults’ telehealth in the context of internet access is not known. OBJECTIVE To assess how individual and neighborhood characteristics, including pervasiveness of neighborhood broadband internet subscription, affect engagement in telehealth among older adults with internet access. METHODS Cross-sectional study of 5,117 community-living older adults who participated in the 2017 National Health and Aging Trends Study with census-tract level data for participants’ place of residence from the American Community Survey. RESULTS Of an estimated 35.3 million community-living older adults, 21.1 million (59.7%) were internet users, and of this group, more than 1 in 3 (35.8%) engaged in telehealth. In a multivariable regression model that adjusted for individual and neighborhood-level factors, age, education, income, and pervasiveness of neighborhood broadband internet subscription were associated with engagement in telehealth: race, health, county metropolitan status, and neighborhood social deprivation were not. Among internet users, living in a neighborhood at the lowest (versus highest) tertile of broadband internet subscription was associated with being 40% less likely to engage in telehealth (aOR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.87), all else equal. CONCLUSIONS Neighborhood broadband internet stands out as a mutable characteristic that is consequential to telehealth participation.

Descriptive Method

Tax revenues paid by taxpayers are the main source of state revenue at this time. Individual and corporate taxpayers owed tax in Indonesia are spread throughout the territory of Indonesia. However based on the data, the tax ratio of each province is vary. Therefore, in this paper we will discuss whether the existing tax regulations are in accordance with the existing conditions.This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. Based on the research, due to the principle "can be implemented" in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2011, several current tax regulations have been formulated without considering existing conditions namely   the geographical conditions of various tax offices’s work areas, the uneven availability of the internet in each region along with the unsupported behavior of internet users for electronic services,  and  unavailability of the postal services in some villages.  Those make taxation regulations difficult to be implemented in all regions of Indonesia  and do not support the optimum collection of taxes in all regions of Indonesia. The aim of the research is to provide recommendations to the DGT to improve the tax regulations to a better level.

The Impact

China has been experienced a nutrition transition and has developed the largest population of internet users. We evaluate the impacts of internet access on the nutritional intake of Chinese rural residents. An IV-Probit based propensity score matching method is used to determine the impact of internet access on nutritional intake. The data were collected from 10042 rural households existed in six provinces of China. The results reveal that the rural residents with internet access have significantly higher intakes of energy, protein, and fat than those without their counterparts. Chinese rural residents with Internet access significantly increase the intakes of energy, protein, and fat by 1.35 percent (28.62 kcal), 5.02 percent (2.61 g), and 4.33 percent (3.30 g), respectively. There is heterogeneity in the intakes of energy, protein, and fat among those in different income groups. Moreover, non-staple food consumption is the main channel through which internet access affects nutritional intake. The results stress to local population to use internet for the improvement of nutritional status.

<p>In a multi-cultural society, living in peace and tolerance are keys to development and sustainable economy. Undeniably, the efforts taken by all stakeholders are essential in materializing the future and dream of a peaceful country. Since its independence, Malaysia has been struggling to maintain the unity and integration of the three main ethnics, the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians. Matters pertaining to media especially publications of printed presses are strictly supervised by the Ministry of Home Affairs. However, with the inception of the Internet, regulating content of the Internet might be impossible for the law makers. This paper examines how the emergence of social networking website such as <em>Facebook, MySpace</em> and even <em>Tweeting</em> have been misused by irresponsible Internet users in Malaysia. Spinning the web of hate online is like spreading virus to the netizens and yet, its impact if it is not well tackled by members of society, it might spark serious problem to the unity and harmony of ethnics in Malaysia. Next, this paper examines how law responds to problems arose on the Internet. Finally, this paper suggests that supervision and monitoring content of the Internet which promote hate might be challenging but such problem need to be tackled by the authorities with extra vigilant and full coordination with all authorities.</p>
