More Crap
Intro:
Generally speaking it is thought that the internet is a very valuable tool for so many endeavours. It is a device, a concept in practice which affords a majority of the world the chance to express themselves, to hear, to be heard and to learn. The famous song: “It’s a small world after all” is one which comes to mind when thinking of the concept behind the internet. The xxx allows people who would not normally be bale to interact, to communicate information, knowledge and to Share with one another what they normally would not be able to share. Convenience is the name of this game; and the internet has made it convenient to find and experience new things. Writers and the literary community have seized this opportunity as their own to share with the world their words, works, names, and ideas. This brings us to the concept of e-books and their now, (or soon to be) wide-spread utilization. The concept of the e-book as it applies here is this: that a writer who would not normally be able to publish or distribute their work may do so, the other side of the coin (linked, hinged, double-edge sword, logical next step in a bad way) is that with this convenient distribution is that many more writers are in danger of having their works plagiarized. This is the debate here at hand.
Community:
On a whole, the literary world is comprised of those who write and those who distribute, for the purposes here we’ll call these two the authors and the publishers respectively. The readers (or customers) are those who are creating the controversy in this community, this will be addressed later. But for now suffice to say that the community is concerned with the sharing of ideas, stories and knowledge in written form. I am a member of this community in that I am all three a reader, an author and a publisher. I love to acquire knowledge by means of reading avidly. And for my own purposes I attempt to distribute my works for exposure and I do on occasion engage in the copying and ownership of works by other authors for my own enjoyment and leisure. This sums up a majority of the people who are considered part of the literary community. Students for example read for the acquisition of knowledge, write for the distribution of knowledge – though usually for their professor’s eyes in order to acquire a good grade, and from time to time they copy and distribute their works and the works of others for their peers to review. And in the midst of engaging in these very activities, they are often engaging in the thick of the controversy addressed herein. According to the US Government and law, it is illegal to copy or distribute works of any sort to others without clear consent of the author or without paying said author compensation for use of their works.
Controversy (history too)
With the advent of computers and their software technologies there has
Percieved by others
These people see these things
These people see these things
And the shared opinions are…

In conclusion, my opinion is:
