Ellen will use some copyrighted illustrations from her books on the Website. She will also include themes from the story lines of her books in some of the games that will be available (free) on the site to registered visitors. What are at least two intellectual property issues that might arise in the operation of the website?

The first intellectual issue in the operation of the website will be in relation to the copyrighted illustration and contents which will be used on the website. Ellen will need to ensure that such use of copyrighted content does not violate intellectual property laws and due permission and authorization is taken from the owners of such copyrighted content, ie, the publisher of the books.

Secondly, the games used on the website should be proprietary and if such games are taken from another website, permission from the owner of such content should be taken in advance.

Ellen cannot display any proprietary or copyrighted content from another website or from any other source. Permission should be taken in advance and legal formalities should be completed before using any such material.

What are some of the potential ethical issues that Ellen faces because of the ages of her intended audience?

The primary ethical issue, due to the age of the target audience, is that the content of the website should be carefully developed so as to ensure that it is fully appropriate for the children and kids visiting the website. The owner of the websites should be ethically conscious in creating content that does not impart any wrong message to small kids and should enhance their knowledge and does not result in any harm. For example, the site should not display pornographic content.

What are some of the laws with which the site must comply with when it registers site visitors under the age of 13? What are some recommendations regarding how Ellen can best comply with those laws?

One of the laws is that the site does not knowingly collect or

    When she has no choice but to stay with her aunt by law, she learns that “blood ties do not necessarily nurture” (Makowsky 158). For example, when staying with her aunt Nadine, Ellen gets into an argument with her cousin on Christmas day and says something rude to her, “I told Dora….. If she ever had the sense to take a smart class she might know what I was talking about” (Gibbons 131). Her aunt Nadine walks into the argument and heard Ellen say this, without questioning what happened “She said for me to get out… that she didn’t want me to begin with” (Gibbons 131), and kicks her out on the streets. Being abandoned on Christmas day is not the only abuse Ellen goes through, she is also left with the responsibilities of an adult at the age of eleven. In the novel, Ellen is taken in her grandmother who hates her, and leaves her with huge responsibilities that no child should be left with. For example, Ellen’s grandmother gets very sick and Ellen has no choice but to take care of…

    Her father was an alcoholic, racist, and not to mention cruel and heartless towards Ellen, he was Ellen’s earliest hardship but helped her grow as a person in the end. As a result of her father being so mean, Ellen always strived to be the opposite. Following this trauma, her mother killed herself, most likely because of the father, which in itself is overwhelming and heartbreaking for a 10 year old. During all of this Ellen is always very close friends with a little colored girl named Starletta, as much as Ellen doesn’t want to be like her father, she still can’t help being racist because of her own fathers influence. She may not be able to control who’s child she is or how much she looks like her father, but Ellen eventually learns she can take the way she feels about other people into her own hands.…
