"Digital Music Sampling," and "Plagiarism Blurs Lines."

Throughout the world there are many ideas that cause on to look back and see how many things that our main ancestors created is still causing problems in the end.  They are constantly telling us what we can’t copy or what we can’t use because it is illegal.  This causes whatever company to gain money because they are sewing people for theft.  This makes it so much more unfair.  The fact that the society only cares about money and they are willing to do anything to have a way to do things without much effort causes the world to see what we are really coming to now.  For example in “Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age,” a Rhode Island College freshman didn’t want to site his sources and the same thing happened at DePaul University when a student was copying paragraphs and was caught by a program that in which turns the plagiarized sections of the story purple.  What has our society come to? They are constantly cheating and trying to take the easy way out when, everyone knows, adult life is nothing about cheating around things.  The fact that we are getting lazy the society is beginning to become stricter about many things when it comes to the idea of using another’s “property”.  The idea that you are no longer allowed to even using a piece of a sound or piece of information without citing or paying, because they are stealing.  This is not fair to the society today.  First the internet taught the world to be lazy with everything; people now are able to cheat their way through research and reading because the internet will tell them everything they need to know.  Also, now people are getting upset because there are less and less music sights with free music because everyone wants money.  All the society wants is to be lazy and be rich, but when the react together, there is never a good outcome to the issues that is really going on in the world.  When taking information without citation or buying a piece of the article and having proof will cause another person lose the money they are trying so hard to earn, but it is also causing you more poverty.  This idea is just because they will press charges through the roof to make you pay for what you used, or kick you out of school, but this company has already taken lots of money from the rest of the world.
