Ideas are important. People don't have bang-up, awesome ideas all the time. It is important to copyright if you have an idea you think is original. If you don't copyright that specific idea, you may have others take your idea, copyright it for themselves, and not give you credit. The idea will technically not even be yours any more. I heard that Elvis did this. He heard a good song by a woman called "Bearcat," and fashioned his song "Hound Dog" after it. "Hound Dog" had the same melody, accompanying harmony, and even the same lyrics (but instead of saying the person was a "Bearcat" he called him a "Hound Dog").
Cybersafety refers to people not putting too much personal information (addresses, phone numbers, credit card information, etc.) or photos for the world to see on the WWW.
I did not learn anything new. Most of us have been blogging since the internet came out. Sure, internet safety and copyright laws are good to know, but "cybersafety" is really just common sense, and "copyright infringement" is talked about every semester in school.
