What’s New Let go back to the “Risky or Not?” test. Let us visit each item and see
how risky it is to share personal information.

The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote your business, gain new
friends, and stay in touch with the old ones. It is also a source of entertainment. But like most things
in this world, there is always “another side of the coin.” The Internet is one of the most dangerous
places, especially if you do not know what you are doing.

 The Core Rules of Netiquette by Seth T. Ross

1. Remember the human.

2. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life.
3. Know where you are in cyberspace.
4. Respect other people's time and bandwidth.
5. Make yourself look good online.
6. Share expert knowledge.
7. Help keep flame wars under control.
8. Respect other people's privacy.
9. Don't abuse your power.
10. Be forgiving of other people's mistakes.

Protecting Reputations Online

In the past, doing something embarrassing was not much a big deal. Nowadays, embarrassing
moments are captured using any device you could imagine. This could impact not only your reputation
but also the people around you.

Think Before You Click

1. Before you post something on the web, ask these questions to yourself:

Would you want your parents or grandparents to see it?

Would you want your future boss to see it?

Once you post something on the web, you have no control of who sees your posts.

2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk to your friends about this
serious responsibility.
3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be able to scan that post.
4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.
5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the one who posted it to pull it
down or report it as inappropriate.

Copyright Infringement
1. Understand. Copyright protect literary works, photographs paintings, drawings, films, music
(and lyrics), choreography, and sculptures.
2. Be responsible. Even if a material does not say that it is copyrighted, it is not a valid defense
against copyright.
3. Be creative. Ask yourself whether what you are making is something that came from you or
something made from somebody else’s creativity.
4. Know the law. There are some limitations to copyright laws. For instance, in the Philippines,
copyrights only last a lifetime (of the author) plus 50 years. There are also provision for “fair use,”
which means that an intellectual property may be used without a consent as long as it used in
commentaries, criticisms, search engines, parodies, news reports, research, library archiving,
teaching, and education. If you have doubts that what you are doing does not fall under the
policy of fair use, seek permission first.

Another misconception is that fan-fiction is not copyright infringement. In reality, it is and some
copyright holders ignore them but they can opt to use their rights.

If you create something—an idea, an invention, a form of literary work, or a research, you have
the right of how it should be used by others. This is called intellectual property.
