5. What is BitTorrent? Explain what it does and how this technologic advancement had changed society. (Comprehension)

BitTorrent is an open source peer-to-peer protocol for downloading files on the internet. Open source means the code is available for anyone to modify and redistribute at will. Consequently there are several free BitTorrent programs available to the public, each with differing features.

The idea behind BitTorrent is to allow massive distribution of popular files without penalizing the source by soaring bandwidth costs and possible crashes due to demand that exceeds the capability of the server. In this way, anyone who creates a popular program, music file or other product can make it available to the public regardless of assets, even if the file becomes highly popular.

6. Based on the main point off this film (If you don’t understand read: http://stealthisfilm.com/Part2/). Where do you see connections to your experiences, or within society – be specific and reference the book (Application)?

7. Analyze what you’ve watched. Use your Baase connections. What do you think is the future of distribution, production and creativity? What do you think is the future of Intellectually Property in the Information Age? ? (Analysis)

The future of distribution information it make us we are as people working together sharing information about others. the advance of technology keep us connect with each other even if that person live in anther country we talk to them, such facebook or my space million of people are using online service to become friends to people they never met before. the only good ways for a better future is for us to be able to talk to each other. When it comes to intellectual property the future is still the same because their is no way to put a stop on unless we don't post our idea in the internet and make it difficulty for people to the information that we don't want them to have.

8. Do you think that downloading is stealing someone’s Intellectual Property? Why or why not? Back up with Baase (Analysis)?

yes i thank that downloading someone intellectual property is stealing, because you didn't pay for it and the person who make the work spent lot of money just to achieve his/he work and it will be wrong for you to download their work without their permission or pay for what you have download. It's like i came to your house and i was not welcome to come inside and take one of your TV sell it on ebay for $3.00

9. How do you see issues of copyright and Intellectual property effecting the world 50 years from today? be specific (Synthesis)

I see it still to be a problems because is not going to change it just going to keep getting worst unless we reduce what we want people to see. it it didn't change in the past there is no 100% sure that people would not take others property.

10. Do you agree with what is being said within movie? Explain. (Evaluation)

Yes i agree with what has been because intellectual property is real problem in our society the people didn't come with the ideas they are one who enjoying the work while those who came with the ideas are suffering, and no body is realizing that what they are doing is wrong.

11. Has your opinion shifted on this topic after watching this film? Have you created any new ideas after watching, and thinking about, this film? (Evaluation)

No my opinion has not change we can't stop doing something that we enjoy doing it because others people are profiting on it. if we do that every singer in the world will lose their job. i don't think we should give up what we love because of somebody else.
