Scams are often sent via email but can also be sent by instant messaging and SMS. According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) SCAMwatch website anyone can fall victim to a scam. Scams succeed because they look like the real thing and scammers manipulate people into responding. Scams can appear to come from authoritative sources, like a well-known bank or mobile phone provider. They may make people fearful that they will miss out on a special offer, or feel ashamed of themselves for refusing to help a person or group in need. If in doubt about the legitimacy of a website, call the organisation it claims to represent. Identity Theft. Methods According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity thieves can obtain information by rummaging through trash or stealing from purses, wallets, mailboxes, or homes.[1] They may also use electronic methods, such as those listed below.

Phishing relies on pop-ups, spam, and websites that look authentic to obtain personal information, such as log-in information and credit card numbers. Pharming uses malicious code to redirect users to fraudulent sites where hackers can access their personal information. Pretexting acquires personal information through false and illegal means, for example, obtaining financial information by pretending to call from a bank. These scams are sometimes accomplished with the use of malware (software designed to damage computers). Spyware, for example, is malware that is used to collect information from a computer without the user’s knowledge.

A Parent's Guide to Gaming. Video Games Play May Provide Learning, Health, Social Benefits, Review Finds. WASHINGTON — Playing video games, including violent shooter games, may boost children’s learning, health and social skills, according to a review of research on the positive effects of video game play to be published by the American Psychological Association. The study comes out as debate continues among psychologists and other health professionals regarding the effects of violent media on youth.

An APA task force is conducting a comprehensive review of research on violence in video games and interactive media and will release its findings in 2014. “Important research has already been conducted for decades on the negative effects of gaming, including addiction, depression and aggression, and we are certainly not suggesting that this should be ignored,” said lead author Isabela Granic, PhD, of Radboud University Nijmegen in The Netherlands. “However, to understand the impact of video games on children’s and adolescents’ development, a more balanced perspective is needed.” Frequently Asked Questions about Copyright and Fair Use. What is fair use? The Copyright Act gives copyright holders the exclusive right to reproduce works for a limited time period.

Fair use is a limitation on this right. Fair use allows people other than the copyright owner to copy part or, in some circumstances, all of a copyrighted work, even where the copyright holder has not given permission or objects. How does fair use fit with copyright law? Copyright law embodies a bargain. It gives copyright holders a set of exclusive rights for a limited time period as an incentive to create works that ultimately enrich society as a whole. In exchange for this limited monopoly, creators enrich society by, hopefully, contributing to the growth of science, education and the arts.

However, copyright law does not give copyright holders complete control of their works. How does the court know if a use is fair? Whether a use is fair will depend on the specific facts of the use. These factors are guidelines, and they are not exclusive. About Creative Commons Licenses: creativecommons.org. Our public copyright licenses incorporate a unique and innovative “three-layer” design. Each license begins as a traditional legal tool, in the kind of language and text formats that most lawyers know and love. We call this the Legal Code layer of each license.

But since most creators, educators, and scientists are not in fact lawyers, we also make the licenses available in a format that normal people can read — the Commons Deed (also known as the “human readable” version of the license). The Commons Deed is a handy reference for licensors and licensees, summarizing and expressing some of the most important terms and conditions. Think of the Commons Deed as a user-friendly interface to the Legal Code beneath, although the Deed itself is not a license, and its contents are not part of the Legal Code itself. Searching for open content is an important function enabled by our approach. Fair Use Checklist. Copyright & Creative Commons Explained for Kids Video. Questia How To Avoid Plagiarism Video.
