Today, many people disregard copyright information. They have the attitude that "I found it for free on the Internet, so it must be okay to use it."

Week Six: Thing 13 Del.icio.us
Managing bookmarks through Del.icio.us could save time in research because others may have already sorted through the many thousands of hits that show up using a search engine.
