Nayak, Anuradha, and Manish Lakhawat. "Cybersquatting and Trademark Infringement." ICFAI Journal of Cyber Law 7 (2008): 54-60. Aug. 2008. Ohio University. EBSCOhost. Alden Library, Athens. 28 Aug. 2008.
EBSCOhost did a great job, like always, with helping me find a great article that would be very helpful for this field. This article covered information about cybersquatting and trademark infringement. I learned, from this article, that cybersquatting is the act of controlling a Web site that is not owned by that person. By cybersquatting on a site, you are able to receive the profits from a site that someone else had earned. I also learned about trademark infringement, which involves a business of some sort using the trademark of another business in order to make profits. This was a great site that offered so many examples about problems within the field of intellectual property. Lets face it, as a journalist, we will probably be writing most articles about problems that took place within the field. This site gives great information to make any journalist seem like an expert.

I really liked this article as well. I also found this through EBSCOhost. This article shows a negative view on intellectual property law. The man who wrote this article is against the idea of copyright laws. This is because he feels that copyrights take away from the progress of science. He is against the thought of profiting from a copyright 50 years after creating the work. In today's society, once you copyright something it is yours for life and also is your property years after your demise. I do agree with what this writer is saying and it really gives you a great break from all of the positive, monotonous news about intellectual property law. It does not provide a great deal of facts but helps give journalists a feel for what some of the public feels about intellectual property law.
