I took up Legal Method under Prof. Hilbay and Intellectual Property Law with Prof. Amador last sem. To those who know these 2 teachers,you would understand how confused I was regarding " piracy " & "property rights" on the web. A timid person that I am, I kept my dilemma to myself and compromised the situation by not deciding on my stand yet. Prof Hilbay believes that IPL restricts creativity and that ideas are public property. Prof Amador only use "borrowed" copies from the net for educational purposes. He earns from protecting IPR, why shouldn't he advocate IPL, right?
Maybe this new IT class will tip the balance somehow.
