Own Argument and Opinions

Mr Casey had, a great sense of the law, even thought Mr Casey was not the perfect lawyer that i hope for in interviewing for my project he was very capable in answering all my questions to the best of his knowledge.  I realized that Mr Casey was trying to come across some very fundamental step when dealing with legal issues, and even thou he did not mention them I understood that he present them to me during the interview by explain to me that what ever legal issues one comes in contact with we should always play the rules by the book, meaning that one should follow protocal and never take anything for granted when dealing with legal issues and that playing it safe is the key to avoiding most legal issues especially when getting involve in a situation were you now that there are potential drawbacks and for problems in the future, when dealing with intellectual property rights one must be careful to protect one self from disaster, For a contract to be enforceable, seven key characteristics must be present. "A contract is a legally enforceable promise. Analyzing whether a contract exists involves inquiring into these issues: offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, legal purpose, consent, and sometimes, whether the deal is in writing."In my opinion most people who deal with creativity engineering and sort-of should have a legal sense that their always a potential risk of legal prosecution either by you or someone else, within my field of study I think its common sense to be aware of this even thought one does not study law but, most us within the creative field  have stolen or downloaded material that was someone else's and we used it for our own creativity," This ability to share intellectual property is both good news and bad. On the one hand, the owner can produce and sell unlimited copies of, say, a software program; but on the other hand, the owner has no easy way to determine if someone is using the program for free. The high cost of developing intellectual property, combined with the low cost of reproducing it, makes it particularly vulnerable to theft." chapter 28 page 502 we now that's creativity belongs to some one else now why should be surprise if the owner try's to sued us for it we can say I did not because we now that its someone else work and not are own even if we manipulated in away to change it. it is important to understand the law, "If a person is intent on lying, cheating, and stealing his way through a career, then he is unlikely to be dissuaded by anything in this or any other course. But for the large majority of people who want to do the right thing, it will be useful to study new ways of approaching difficult problems.  chapter 2 page 18 "

but that doesn't mean that we should stop from taking content and turning it into our own... because many artist want us to take there work and make our... now ! there are other who may do the opposite .... having some sort of middle ground is always good when dealing with legal issues...  Like my grandfather us to say "being safe isn't always being safe" what I;m try to say is that legal matters are always complicate, and the law is always Evolving and changing and so should we, I agree with most of Mr Casey's reasoning and i stand behind his use common sense philosophy, when dealing with legal issues. Its righted to video tape someone else's property without them knowing and using them for your gains ? those are the questions we should be asking our selves before making decisions. I'm not saying  not be aware of the laws, but have a common sense among other things is the best legal advice I can get. Mr Casey at one point  used a personal history of common sense of thing to explain to me the answer he was giving me, he told me that  at one point he decided to used music that did not belong to him in his website now knowing that  music did not belong to him he knew that it wasn't right to have it so  he took off even though he was disappointed by his decision later..."One of the major challenges for legal institutions in regulating copyrights is simply that modern intellectual property is so easy to copy. Many consumers are in the habit of violating the law by downloading copyrighted material—music, movies and books—for free" chapter 28 page 508 but has glad he did it much later.. the law seems do complicate and some times unfair, but using common sense to avoid legal issue  is always good protect and perhaps more than a lawyer can protects..   bend the law go around the law but not break the law... !
