Discussion Question

I need a discussion question answered, with at least two paragraphs and one reference.

After reading about intellectual property this week, create an original post in which you discuss the following: Why do we care about intellectual property? How successful have our attempts to protect intellectual property been? Have all countries defined and protected intellectual property the same way?

Finally, in responding to your peers' posts, reflect on the impact that copyright infringement has had on information technology by referencing a recent story in the news that is an example of this impact.
