Issues Paper topic ideas

My idea is: If iTunes expanded its market to allow foreign music to be accessible to buy for foreigners, it would increase its sales. (<-- This doesn't seem very controversial though. Advice would be appreciated.)

With this, I would have to research how many people buy foreign music, how much foreign music is uploaded on iTunes (or other musical interpretations using the same tune), and what the laws are regarding licensing the music and stuff like that. I also want to include something about it lessening the stereotype of "arrogant Americans" only knowing English, because it will broaden their horizons. I really don't know where this will go, except I want to argue for iTunes including foreign music so I don't have to buy the whole CDs which can be expensive imports. The way I see it, the future is headed that direction anyway. I could talk about people exporting foreign itunes gift cards (of foreign money) and therefore people are able to access stuff that is licensed properly and getting the proper money: but it's not accessible unless they have their billing address in that country, or something.

This would be really interesting for me to learn about, about the licensing laws and stuff, since I really want this to happen!

Another idea: Something about hulu. I don't know what. It's like my current back-up plan.

Another backup plan: Putting too much info on social networking sites promotes identity theft and other crimes. (Pretty broad so far.)

I would choose this as a backup plan because it'd be interesting to research and learn about, since it's practical to know.
