    I honestly feel that how people act on the internet act similar in real life. And vice versa.

    So if you have a tendency to lie a lot on the internet, you probably lie quite a bit outside the 'net.

    As for the society of the interenet? The Gov't is still trying to enact laws to somehow establish rules and guidelines for all to follow. Whether we need them or not, I'm not sure.

    You can see how society's morals and values are slowing crumbling by all the little whiny ass kids on here.

    The internet is a place where you can be who you want to be. People also do not consider virtual theft stealing. I can pretty safely assume that everyone has downloaded files illegally, but I can not assume everyone has stolen a CD from a store for example...

    This would relate to scamming because it is this type of mindset in people that do not care about others that may lead to them being scammers. If they do not care about the other person and do not feel that virtual theft is wrong, why wouldn't they scam?

    The government is trying to impose laws on virtual things, but it is much harder to regulate and people are calling for free and uncensored internet which is not helping the situation...

    No one's really addressing my point; How do these changes, such as music theft and such, effect our real-life society?

    It is illegal and yet unethical. I agree, but stealing in real life is a much more serious offense. How many scammers do you see get booked for taking 3 dollars via PayPal? Not very many. If you got 3 dollars stolen, you tell an adult and bam.

    That's what I'm trying to say....

    The thing some people need to realize is that our technology is evolving at a very rapid rate, and soon the internet will probably be an alternative "real life". They're not going to be able to get away with what they currently can in the near future.
