RE: To Share or Not to Share??

1.  What is your personal opinion towards file sharing?  Is it right or wrong? Please explain.
I think file sharing is fine as long as it is permitted by the original creator of the file being shared.
If the file is shared illegally but the person who owns the rights to the file is fine with it, I also think it is okay. However, if a file is shared illegally without permission from the owner, I believe it is wrong.
2.  If you produced your own piece of art/song/movie, would you hold the 
     same opinion?

If I produced my own piece of art/song/movie, I think I would hold the same opinion.  I would probably allow others to share my works illegally but would encourage them to buy them.  At the very least, I would permit sharing files of my works after a few years it has been released because I would not really be making money from them any more by then.

3.  Do you feel it is morally acceptable to download copyrighted material if it is
     only intended for personal use?
I think it is morally acceptable to download copyrighted material if only intended for personal use.  You will not make any money off of material that does not belong to you and the owners will not lose money because you are not sharing the file over the internet.

RE: Texting in Social Situations

So, here I shall answer these questions.

1.  What are your thoughts on texting in social situations?

I find that texting in social situations is a bit rude.  However, I understand if the text is necessary such as texting someone to get a ride home.  But I do not like it when others are being held back because of someone texting.  I believe that most of the time people are able to wait a while before texting, though. 

2.  Do you find it rude if you’re talking to somebody and they proceed to text  

     continuously on their cell phone? 

I do find it rude if you're talking to somebody who proceeds to text.  It makes me feel like the person does not care about listening to me.  I get used to it however as I have many friends who have their phone in hand 24/7.

3.  If you had to come up with a list of five etiquette rules for texting, what 

     would they be?

1.  If you want to text, it would be best to do it in such a way that you do not disturb others such as not texting in line for pretty much anything.

2.  Don't text when the person you are texting is nearby. That is completely unnecessary.

3.  Don't text people who are in school.  It may cause disruptions in class and the receiver may get in trouble.

4.  Learn to leave your phone away from your hands.  Your phone is not something you can't live without.

5.  The above rules can be broken in emergencies. But in EMERGENCIES ONLY. I mean when it's like, "THIS PERSON'S HORRIBLY INJURED!" emergencies or when you need to save the world from an evil alien army.
