Cencoring the internet, copyright and "Protect IP"

Of course there are several copyright laws that should be followed, but where does the line between freedom of the Internet and braking copyright laws go? And who should decide? Wouldn't it be most fair if the Internet was being cencored equal in all countries all over the world since it is a global network.. but then: why cencor it at all?

The inconvenience of online shopping made real!

I thought this video clip was relevant(mostly funny) in some way to the last weeks guest lecture about the company desmo where he mentioned that the companies want the purchase to be made as easy as possible for the consumer. You want the same convenience in a regular store, this video makes the different approaches needed in an online/IRL-store clear for making the customer satisfied. Enjoy :)

Can open-source software create war?

With social medias it is true that the bigger it gets and the more users it has, it also becomes more powerful. However the users can only use the tools and functions provided by the administrator or owner of the social media service. Hence it is not to say that social media technologies can't be used for purposes not intended from the beginning, like building extremist-groups or likewise. This matter can become even more dangerous in terms of open-sourced software; because the users basically are creating it they also know what loopholes there might be and some can therefore use this for creating viruses or so cald worms. But the link below takes this to a whole new level and could actually have the potential to create war, you can maybe even say that it already has.
