A. Opportunities,
Challenges and Threats
in Media and
Information
Modern professionals, students and adults
use online materials to gather the needed
information for any research work. The
Internet has made research work easier. Is
this a sign of progress? Some would say
that the use of technology is not
always a sign of progress. For them, the
use of traditional methods such as
government documents, minutes of the
meeting, journalistic writings, eyewitness
accounts and other information sources is
more effective than the use of modern
technology specifically the “internet”.

Libel/Slander

Piracy
Piracy refers to the unauthorized duplication
of copyrighted content that is
then sold at substantially lower prices in the
black market. It is illegal under the
Cybercrime Law, which states that acquiring
any digital copy of any copyrighted material
is punishable by fine from Php 200,000 to
Php 500,000 and six to twenty years in
prison. The Intellectual Property Code and
the Anti–Camcording Law were previously in
place to combat piracy in the country.

Cybercrime Law
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of
2012 (Republic Act No. 10175) covers
all other online anomalies such as
identity theft, child pornography,
data misuse, cybersquatting and
other computer-related and
internet facilitated practices. This
law became controversial in 2012-
2013 since it also criminalizes libel in
the online world, limiting certain
exercises of freedom of expression.
