Protecting Reputation Online
In the past, doing some embarrassing
was not much a big deal. It happened; people
would laugh at it and they would move on.
Nowadays, embarrassing moment are captured
using any device you could imagine.
Think Before You Click

1. Before you post something on the web asked this 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 post can be affect you or other's reputation, ask the one who posted it to
pull it down or report it as inappropriate.
Copyright Infringement
If you create something -- an idea, an invention, a form of literary work, or a research, you have the right as
to how it should be used by others. This is called intellectual property.

Here are some tips that could help you avoid copyright infringement:

1. Understand. Copyrights protect your literary works, photographs, paintings, drawings, films, music (and
lyrics), choreography, and sculptures, but it generally does NOT protect underlying ideas and facts.

2. Be responsible. Even if a material does not say that it is copyrighted, it is not a valid defense against
copyright. Be responsible enough to know if something has a 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. It is important to add your own creative genius in everything that
will be credited to you.

4. Know the law. There are some limitations to copyright laws. For instance in the Philippines, copyright
only a last lifetime (of the author) plus 50 years.
