After our class discussion about video piracy, I had a browse on the internet to see other people opinions and views, while doing so I came accross a video.
In the video there are two opposing parties, one for the illegal downloading of movies and videos and another company against the illegal download of movies.
I think that it summarises the points very well.
Definatly worth a look

An advantage of paying for music from a company such as apple is that you can avoid legal complications. Instead of downloading 20 tracks and getting caught on the 21st and facing imprisonment, it’s far better to purchase 20 tracks from a legitimate website and knowing that you are protected.
A disadvantage of buying pirated DVD’s from market stands is that you will more then likely be purchasing poor quality. If the DVD is poor quality, you cannot return it as it is stolen goods. Essentially, you are paying £5 for a poor quality rip of a DVD that may not even function in the DVD player.
A disadvantage of buying the latest blockbuster release before the U.K release date is that some movies rely heavily on special effects. The quality of the movie will tend to be poor, so the film itself will appear poor.
Using an illicit music download site is bad as the website itself can log a users IP address and track them down. This means that users will suffer massive legal issues and even face prison.
Illicit music sites affect the music industry and their willingness to sign new artists and bands. The music industry relies solely on the sales of records, so if everyone starts downloading the music tracks for free then the industry wont make any money, so will not be able to afford to sign new talent.

One office application that the small business could use may be Microsoft Excel. This would mean that the business would have all their information stored on one computer, thus minimizing space and increasing efficiency. It would be better suited over Access as it is easier to use so everyone should have the ability to use it. Another application could be Microsoft Access. The software works in the same way as Excel however it can store data more efficiently but would require good knowledge of how to operate the application.
Secretaries and typists were affected in the fact that their jobs were cut. With the introduction of these packages, there were no need to employ and pay for typists and there number of secretaries was reduced as well because of the computer based system.
However, many jobs in ICT were opened up in order to maintain and run the systems. This was a major advantage as with the ICT staff came many new prospects for the company’s access to ICT. This could increase publicity and efficiency dramatically.

An advantage of using PDA and GPS systems is that they are small and light weight. They often have an easy user interface and can be updated regularly. The PDA will offer appointment updates and reminders for important meetings, this will be useful when going to important deals to close the sale. The GPS system will assist John with finding the locations of his meetings and clients, ensuring that he will not get lost on the way or not know where he is.
A laptop would perhaps cut the most out of his load that he requires to carry. The information such as the contents of the catalogue, and the order forms can be set up, ready to fill out on his laptop.
If John were to take out a contract mobile phone, he could always be prepared to make and take calls in order to give more of a professional feel to his job. This would ensure that he is always able to be gotten a hold of and could inform people that he is stuck in traffic, instead of arriving late with no warning.
The internet could play a vital role in the endorsing and sale of his products. John could set up a website for his company and display the contents of the catalogue online.
