Assignment task:
Ellen has hired you as a consultant to build on her ideas and formulate the best ways to comply with potential intellectual property issues, privacy, and ethics laws. Your assignment this week is to create a report that discusses at least two intellectual property issues that might arise in the operation of the website, and describe the laws, ethics, and privacy issues that Ellen faces because of the ages of her intended audience members. Be sure to deal specifically with advertising issues as well as issues that might arise in managing the virtual community elements on the Web site. Additionally, outline the laws with which the site must comply when it registers site visitors under the age of 13, and include your recommendations regarding how Ellen can best comply with those laws.
