Copyright
Copyright is a huge issue at the moment and is problematic across all nations. It involves the artists getting payed and has not been a major issue until the internet became mainstream and artists found they're art was being downloaded at will and a lot of times for free.

Privacy and Security
I feel that privacy and security is definitely something that should be on the forefront of everyone's mind when on the internet. It is very important to know what you are doing and what the repercussions might be when accessing websites and running a Facebook page. One little mistake could literraly ruin your life, your future and possibly your relatives.
Such things as viruses and other types of malware can cost havoc and years of suffering and pain. All from just a simple website you thought was innocent looking or a file some "friend" sent you, this is why i feel everyone should have an anti virus and use caution when surfing the web. You can suffer from blackmail, identity theft, and even lose a job or job opportunity because of the internet. One simple example is from the article titled "Facebook Privacy is so confusing even the Zuckerberg family..." where a family photo is leaked onto the internet, this photo will never be deleted from the internet. That is a fact. Ignorance I feel is not an excuse.
