When given the brief for this three week project I thought, keep it straight, keep it simple so I want to create a website that informs people about piracy.
When thinking further about my project I realised that this an extremely broad subject to cover, so I need to narrow it down some. I have done this by thinking about who my target audience will be. I thought about what i know about people who create or use pirated software, music, films or whatever, I thought that most of these people are my peers, non of which want to be lectured about piracy as by now they all know how it works. then I thought about other people I know who are copying films and music without realising they were breaking the law.
I knew someone who was over 60 and had been shown how to download films old and new and burn them to disks, this person thought this was fantastic as they could create DVDs for the grand kids to watch as they came to visit even before the films had made it to the cinema. They had an idea that doing this was wrong but no idea that doing this was illegal.
I then thought about high school age people (11-16) who regularly download music from all sort of places legal and illegal. I imagine again that these people at some point have been shown how to do this and have just continued to do so to increase their music collection. I am sure that many of these kids know that what they are doing is wrong but how many of them know it is Illegal. People tend to have wrong on one side and illegal on the other and sometimes forget to merge the two.
