Research Survey ~ If it's on the internet, I can use it for any purpose?

I am conducting a little research for a Business Law project regarding people's attitudes toward the internet and copyrights. This is a pretty simple question ...





Do you believe the theory that "if it's on the internet, I can use it for any purpose I see fit"?





There are no right or wrong answers here, and I'd love to know the reason why you chose your answer ...





Thanks!

Ah, NO, you can't.


Some material on the Internet is indeed in the public domain. However, other content is stolen or placed there without permission from the IP owner. Question, if you can see your neighbor's files via your network connection, can you use it for any purpose? Are these on the "internet"? So what if you copied these files to a public website--would that put them in the public domain?





I think quite a bit of content is placed on systems with an expectation of privacy. If one puts material on the web, you might also expect that information to remain private. For example, if you post your credit card information to a site while you buy a set of tires, you would expect the information to remain private. However, if you post an anwser to Yahoo!answers or to Wikipedia, you would neither have that expectation nor have the desire to keep the information private.
