Censorship and intellectual property

Explanation:

Information technology is the use of computers to store, transmit, transfer and obtain data or information, mostly done online.

My research in IT involves censorship, particularly in countries with restricted usage of internet, such as China, Vietnam or North Korea. I compare information available in free countries to information available in the other ones, I study key points, words or expressions that make the info rejected by the censorship in a particular, internet-limited country all over the world. I think of solutions of this, how could for example changing a phrase make the piece of information acceptable.

I also study the issue of intellectual property, which in my case is the problem of stealing somebody else's work online and passing it as their own. I think of way to make the property secure, protecting the author and preventing plagiarism.
