Abstract
This paper discusses whether file sharing should be permitted, taking into account the legal issues. This paper also takes a look at the website methodology of file sharing, currently centered on music but which will expand to include motion pictures once the broadband issues are solved allowing large files to be easily transferred.
From the Paper
"The computer revolution put a computer in virtually every home, creating many new opportunities for users to access information, use a new means of communication, find new ways to engage in commerce, and other possibilities. One of the possibilities explored by many has been file sharing, or the sending of files to other people over the Internet. In popular parlance, file sharing more often means specifically the sharing of music files, which is only one of the types of file that can be shared. Because such files are digital, there is virtually no loss of quality from the original recording, meaning that millions of perfect copies can be downloaded from websites without payments being made to copyright holders. This created an economic threat to the music industry first and more recently to the film industry (since films can be sent over the Internet in digital form as well). "

The reader is given an foundation on understanding the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) and how it operates as well as information about immigrants in the Charlotte area, both documented and non-documented.
From the Paper
"The letters INS stand for Immigration and Naturalization Services. Its purpose is to document and legalize immigrants who come migrate to other nations to live and to work. The INS started in the 1800's when the government decided that America had a policy of immigration that was to free and to open.
"After certain states passed immigration laws following the Civil War, the Supreme Court in 1875 declared that regulation of immigration is a Federal responsibility. Thus, as the number of immigrants rose in the 1880s and economic conditions in some areas worsened, Congress began to issue immigration legislation. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Alien Contract Labor laws of 1885 and 1887 prohibited certain laborers from immigrating to the United States. The more general Immigration Act of 1882 levied a head tax of fifty cents on each immigrant and blocked (or excluded) the entry of idiots, lunatics, convicts, and persons likely to become a public charge. These national immigration laws created the need for a Federal enforcement agency .""

Abstract
This paper addresses the domestic measures and policies that have been taken to ensure the continued safety of American citizens against terrorist organizations. Overt aggression such as the war in Afghanistan shall not be a focus of this paper, for while such actions can indeed be termed as a counter to terrorism, they are not designed to directly counter terrorism but rather to remove the threat entirely in addition to acting as retribution. A focus shall be on the efficiency of the INS and on airline safety, for these two areas are believed to have been the greatest contributing factors to the events that occurred on September 11th. APA style.

Abstract
The writer of this paper details Southwest's low-fare no-frills policy, which is just one of the reasons it's the most profitable airline in the U.S. This paper examines why Southwest was rated #1 in on-time arrivals, departures and overall quality despite the fact that flights are usually overcrowded, seats are crammed together and there's no advance seat reservation system. This paper contains a brief history into Southwest and Continental Airlines as well as the initial goals of both companies. This paper details Continental's less than impressive marketing and business achievements as well as the company's past financial struggles to stay afloat, which eventually paid off when it merged with Air Canada.
From the Paper
"In 1990, December 3 was a dark day when Continental slid into its second bankruptcy, but this time a white knight appeared. Continental and Air Canada became "partners", and Air Canada put some $450 million into rescuing Continental, allowing the airline to emerge from bankruptcy by 1993. Its marketing strategy- again concentrating on the business traveler, both domestically and overseas to more than 60 destinations- has made it possible for Continental to be profitable now for the last 24 reporting quarters. Its stock was named, by Business Week, as the "Best New York Stock Exchange Stock of the year in 1995." (Continental.com) The reason was obvious to see, from a low in January that year of $6.50 a share, by the end of December, the stock had risen to $47.50."

From the Paper
"The matters which parents have to find out from the students are regarding their friends, and the reason why these other children have developed into friends, and at the same time whether the child considers that he is also a good friend in turn. The next question to be considered is the values that are being taught by the family. This is difficult for many parents to talk to children as their parents keep changing their priorities every day. That is for the comparatively poor students whereas the rich students really do not know what is important for the family. This has to be known to the child. The third serious matter today is regarding the use of drugs, and they have to be restricted to only prescription drugs. Along with this is the use of tobacco as children often see adults smoking outside, but they have to be told that this is not good for them. This has to be clearly told to them. The other problem that the parents have to inform the children is regarding the development from a child to an adult, and this does not happen overnight."

This paper analyzes and examines the various issues involved with the electronic filing of taxes.

The process to safeguard information sent via e-filing is examined and the Internal Revenue Service's mission regarding e-filing is outlined. Requirements to e-file a return for various taxpayers and tax preparers are summarized and a detailed description of the various ways to e-file and the software used are explained. This paper concludes with recommendations for improving e-filing..
From the Paper
"The problem with security over the Internet in relation to the e-filing of tax returns is that taxpayers could suffer not only a loss of privacy but also financial losses if their data were used for crimes such as identity theft. In 1996, the agency had to scrap ambitious plans for an over-the-Internet filing system known as Cyberfile, in part because of security concerns. A recent report by the General Accounting Office indicated that investigators were able to access a key electronic filing system using a common hand-held computer."

Ritualistic File-Sharing, 2002.

Abstract
This essay is an in-depth analysis of file-sharing technology (Napster, Kazaa) and its relation to modern intellectual property laws. In order to structure the analysis, theoretical work from two prominent communications scholars - Harold Innis and James Carey - is employed. These authors divided media into two types: Innis categorized media as either time-biased or space biased, while Carey said media was either ritual or transmission. Ritual/time-biased media resist control and intellectual property laws, and file-sharing networks are ritual and time-biased. This essay defines the medium of file-sharing networks, intellectual property, the terms used by Innis and Carey, and shows how the nature of the medium explains why intellectual property laws are ignored on file-sharing networks.
From the paper:
"From a modern, literate, perspective the current economic and legal debate over file-sharing is a teeming with contradictions. Most people find the thought of shoplifting a CD repugnant, yet many of those same people wouldn?t hesitate to borrow a copy from a friend or download a song from a complete stranger. What is the cause of this dichotomy? Can one be a consumer and a thief at the same time? This essay proposes that answers can be found by examining the media in question. Most modern investigation of this subject, critical and legal, is rooted in one specific perspective, but media scholars like Harold Innis and James Carey have in fact proposed two. Logically and historically, intellectual property rights appear in one and not the other. The following pages will define the medium in question and the two perspectives. Next these definitions will be used to place the medium in the most appropriate frame. Once the medium is categorized, the work of Innis and Carey will be applied to show how the nature of the medium determines the role of intellectual property."

File Sharing, 2004.
An examination of the ethics and legalities of file sharing over the Internet.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, as one of the most controversial Internet-based technologies, file sharing is causing a wave of ethical and legal conundrums. It looks at how Napster drew the most mainstream media attention due to several lawsuits filed against them by individual recording artists and how music files aren?t the only copyrighted materials being shared by Internet users. It explores how software, movies, and photos are freely traded through peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and how dozens of file sharing applications like Morpheus have gained popularity, posing legal and ethical problems as most of the files being traded are copyrighted material.
From the Paper
"Napster began the file-sharing revolution and was one of the first pieces of software that created an organized network of users. Using a central server to store a massive amount of music files would not only be costly and cumbersome but also totally illegal, so the architects of Napster designed their software so that each person would download directly from other users? hard drives. This system basically made each individual PC running Napster into a server. A list of sharable files is compiled by the software client, and Napster?s central servers compile the file lists of all its online users. This way, individual users can browse others? files in a secure manner. Using the software interface, users can then perform searches for specific song titles, and the songs are downloaded directly from one peer to another."

Abstract
The paper examines how far John Fiske's theories of popular culture as resistance still apply in the 21st century, using the contemporary example of peer-to-peer file sharing. The focus is on examining file sharing as a cultural activity which is interesting in an anthropological sense, rather than the ethics or legality of file sharing. It explains how, by resisting the power of advertisers, shops and even the music industry as a whole, individuals are reclaiming culture.
From the Paper
"Arguably, the meanings attached to advertising are what is challenged the most by file sharing. If we think of advertising as a 'commodity', we can begin to examine how, like other commodities it can be used in different ways. In dominant culture, the only position a person viewing an advertisement can occupy is that of the consumer, and the only power granted to the consumer is the decision to buy or not buy; in other words, 'containing social diversity within the needs of capitalism.' In popular culture, advertisements can mean more; for example, people can attach their own individual meanings to a memorable slogan. Moreover, users of file sharing use advertisements to help them decide what songs and albums to search for and download. 'To attract customers is to attract tricksters' . "

Windows File Systems, 2006.
An overview of the various file systems provided by Windows NT 5.x.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, collectively referred to as Windows NT 5.x support a limited number of file systems, each having a specific purpose. It looks at how Windows NT 5.x provides all the basic file system services expected of a modern operating system through its small set of general-purpose and specialized file systems.
From the Paper
"NTFS is a modern general-purpose file system. It supports journaling, in order to more quickly restore the file system to a consistent state after an incorrect shutdown. (AlistairMcMillan, et. al. 2005) NTFS has robust metadata support, with a built-in ability to add new file attributes, which Microsoft has used to add features such as DFS indexing, which was not originally intended as a feature of NTFS. One use of this metadata is the file ownership and permissions model used on Windows NT 5.x. File ownership and access control permissions are stored as file metadata. These access control lists, or ACLs can express a sophisticated set of permissions, based on listing which users and groups of users have permission to perform certain actions on a file. Available actions include reading the data in the file, modifying the file and executing it, if it is a program. NTFS has alternate data streams to support multi-part files such as the split resource fork and data fork used on Mac OS."

MP3 File Sharing, 2005.
This paper discusses the unethical piracy of legally owned corporate products on the Internet by MP3 file sharing.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 7 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This examines both sides of the file sharing issues around music and states that the music industry is ethically right in their position to sue those people who illegally download music. The author points out that the music industry has won cases against Napster and others that violate the law, which will help quell the piracy of illegal MP3s. The paper stresses that understanding the facts and statistical data about this issue eventually can lead to the downfall of those independent pirating networks , which violate copyright law in the United States and abroad.
From the Paper
"This study examines the use of MP3 file sharing, which has become a major issue in how corporate music industry deals with 'pirated' songs on the Internet. By understanding the current manners of file sharing that are trying to get financial compensation for music, the industry and independent music "down-loaders" clash on these issues. In essence, file sharing is unethical and debases ownership within the rights of corporate entities that should profit from the artist properties that they rightfully own under copyright law In the recent battles that have arisen due to music industry corporations seeking to recover lost revenues to illegal downloading of songs, there is a strong argument on why file sharing is an ethical problem."
