Final Essay Topic

Prompt:

Internet piracy, illegal downloading, or file-sharing: No matter what you call it, most of us have done it. It seems these days no movie, song, album, or television show is safe from "virtual" theft. Discuss the morality of internet piracy. Is it just like stealing or is it just a necessary evil in the hi-tech age?

Directions:
Use the three sources distributed in class. You must use them as textual evidence, but there is not a "quote requirement." Use your sources wisely. Length of your assignment will be determined by the content you provide. Some of you may have an effective argument in as little as 2 pages, most of you won't hit a sufficient stride until 3 pages. INCLUDE A WORKS CITED PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember to revise! And use your They Say, I Say templates to help elevate your academic vocabulary.

Your essay is due May 4 at 9:45am by email or in my box in the English office.
