Today's Economic Problems

I believe people are responding perfectly. Everyone is coming together and in most instances everyone has someone to lean on. There aren't too many people who have nowhere to go and most people have things figured out. My family is perfectly fine. Both of my parents make quite a bit of money, my dad being an engineer and my mom a registered nurse. My parents are kind fo the ones that hold up the rest of my family.
Since my immediate family isn't in any economic trouble we have been able to help alot of my relatives. My uncle who has always been in construction is now out of a job because of the recession. He has had a tough time getting another job and he is actually planning to go to the Virgin Islands with my other aunt and uncle to do construction there. So for now we are supporting him and letting him stay in our house in hope that he can make some money to get over the the Virgin Islands where construction is still booming. My aunt and uncle who are also in a bad financial situation are also trying to get to the Virgin Islands to make some money. They might also have to move in if they can't continue to pay the rent on their house. These situations have an effect on my family, but it's really no big deal.

"intellectual Property"

I wouldn't be affected too much. I never download stuff illegaly anyways. I usually get my music from other people and i guess that they sometiems get it from Limewire. I know people that get alot of music from sites that allow u to download songs without paying. For them they would be forced to spend alot of money on songs that they wouldnt be able to get anymore. I think the music industry would just take a big hit. I mean sure some people would start to buy stuff, but most people would either find another way or just forget about it. Alot of stuff that is downloaded is expendable and unimportant.

Intellectual property is very important. People need to be paid for the work that they do. It's they work and their ideas. Nobody would like to spend alot of time on something that people can just take for free. Ideas belong to people and everyone should be paid for their work. That's just how it is. People should be compenstaed for their work.
