Why is it important?
• How can I convince my friend that he mistook the tone of my e-mail without him getting even angrier?
• Where can I turn if my computer or cell phone is hacked?• How can I support someone who’s being cyberbullied
without becoming a victim myself?• If Wikipedia is an unreliable source, why is it so popular?• Why can musicians create mashups of different songs but I
can’t use paragraphs from different articles to write a paper?
• Will government legislation limit what I can do on the Internet?

Her career as an author crashed, though, when it came out she’d “borrowed” the words of many other writers in writing her own novel.No excuses could save her work or her reputation.
