Wow this is so well stated. I also was not familiar with that Facebook case. That’s very eye opening. Can you imagine how that conversation with the parents went?
Sometimes I’m glad I did not grow up in the total digital age because it’s so hard to get away with anything.:). Besides, the hacking and phone phreaking possibilities were so much more fun when switching was crossbar and hybrid digital and mechanical. Ah I’m getting old. Thank goodness my parents couldn’t track me. I’d have never been able to run away and follow the Grateful Dead when I was 15 and get away with it as an example. > On Apr 21, 2017, at 11:26 AM, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries > <[email protected]> wrote: > > The simple fact that people do, for whatever reason, engage in plagerism > is not evidence that you (or they) own anything. > > > The next time you join a list, or a service like Face Book, don't just > click the "I Agree" box, but read the terms first.
