What is your ethical obligation? Should you pay $1.99 to download an episode of Big Bang Theory from iTunes or take it for free from an illegal site? What is your Life Principle?

Pick ONE of the following questions to answer for your initial discussion post.

Most of it is also available for a fee through such legitimate sites as iTunes. What is your ethical obligation? Should you pay $1.99 to download an episode of Big Bang Theory from iTunes or take it for free from an illegal site? What is your Life Principle?

2) Music stars Beyoncé and Jay-Z named their newborn daughter Blue Ivy and then rushed to trademark the name, because they planned to use it in commerce. Their application was partially denied because a wedding planner in Massachusetts was already using “Blue Ivy” as the name of her business. Is this the correct outcome? Should people have priority in protecting personal names? Should a small business have priority over what would surely have been a much larger, more profitable use of this name?
