DC Intro:Inappropriate Use Digital Media

David Mohr
I see the inappropriate usage in two different manners: a legality of personal property, and the want of private security.

My daughter, being an actor and living in the film industry for several years, would often tell me the delicate lines of promotion of a film versus piracy of the film property. One such incident was of a friend working on a big-budget, closed film set as an extra.  The friend decided to use their mobile phone to film a rehearsal run through of a scene, and shared it to their facebook account. The production company found out and swooped in like a government cover up agency.  They shut down the facebook account and tracked any and all "shares", confiscated the phone, questioned the friend in wrong, and ultimately fired them for breaching contract of private property not to be distributed.

Sadly most individuals, such as young adults, do not have a production company behind them for cleaning up leaked information.  It would be a valued commodity if it were the case.  The times have changed into an era where any and all things are available near instantaneously from their initial actions.  Many young individuals seek trust from other's when they "share" things and that trust is easily broken or stolen by others as to many it's "just a picture".  In honesty, it is much more to that person who's privacy is breeched.
