Intellectual Property Legislation and Social Media

Intellectual property legislation
faces new challenges posed by social media, especially in the area of
copyrights. The magnitude of Internet publishing, coupled with the potential
for viral transmission of published content, means that there may be many
potential risks to intellectual property rights. For example, the law prohibits
the recording of live music performances and the sale of those recordings. With
access to social media sites, these recordings can be shared with the masses
with a click of a button. Broad access to technology increases challenges to
protecting against copyright infringement.

For this Discussion, select a current
piece of U.S. legislation related to regulation of intellectual property.
Consider how the legislation you select may be applied in a social media forum.

Post by Day 2 a description of the piece of legislation
you selected. Then explain how this legislation may be applied in a social
media forum. Finally, explain how social media might contribute to intellectual
property theft.
