 Technology is developing faster than ever, and digital life has become an important part of the way we study, work, and communicate. With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, students today need more than professional knowledge. We also need to understand how to protect our rights in a world increasingly shaped by technology. After a classmate strongly recommended this course to me, I decided to take it and learn more about the relationship between law and technology. Although I am not a law student, I believe university should be a place where we explore knowledge beyond our own major.

         What impressed me most was the professor's teaching style. Instead of relying only on textbooks or asking students to memorize legal rules, the professor adjusted the course according to current events and real-life issues. This made law feel much closer to our daily lives.My favorite class was about plagiarism and copyright issues in K-pop. The professor played several well-known songs and asked us to compare their similarities. I was surprised to find that some familiar songs sounded very similar to other works. It made me wonder: how similar do two songs have to be before we can call it plagiarism? Where is the line between inspiration and copying? Through discussions like this, I realized that law is not something distant from us. It can be found in the music we listen to, the content we create, and the technology we use every day.

        This course is taught in English as an EMI course, which may seem challenging to some students. However, I saw it as an opportunity to learn law and improve my English at the same time. Fortunately, the professor used clear and understandable English, so the course was not as difficult as I had expected. The professor also listened to students' feedback and adjusted the course when necessary.Both the midterm and final exams consisted of fifty multiple-choice questions in English, and students were given one week to complete them online. Discussion with classmates was encouraged, which made the learning process less stressful and more focused on understanding the concepts. The professor also created a LINE group for important announcements and provided weekly materials and case-related videos before class.After one semester, I realized that this course changed not only my understanding of law but also the way I think about technology. In the past, when I heard about people using AI to create music or using open-source resources, I mostly focused on how convenient and efficient the technology was. I might briefly wonder whether there were copyright problems, but I rarely thought further.

        Now, I have learned that many technology-related issues cannot simply be judged as right or wrong. For example, AI may help people create content more efficiently, but we also need to consider the rights of original creators. How should we balance innovation with copyright protection? How can technology continue to develop without ignoring the people whose work contributes to that development? These are questions I had rarely considered before taking this course.This change in perspective was the most valuable lesson for me. I used to judge technology mainly by its functions and efficiency. If something was faster or smarter, I naturally thought it was better. Now, I understand that even useful technology can create legal, ethical, and business problems. Learning to look at an issue from different perspectives has made me more careful when thinking about new technologies, especially AI.

        The course did not simply teach us legal rules for exams. Instead, it helped us understand the legal and business issues behind technology. I learned to move away from a simple black-and-white way of thinking and consider the different interests involved in the same problem. In today's world, technology is closely connected with business, law, design, and many other fields. Understanding these connections can help us see not only what technology can do, but also the risks, responsibilities, and rules behind it.

        I sincerely recommend this course to students from every department at NTUST. You do not need to study law to benefit from it. The course goes beyond the traditional idea that learning law is only about memorizing complicated rules. Instead, it teaches us how to think about real problems involving technology, business, and society.For students who want to step outside their own field, broaden their perspective, improve their English, or learn how to better protect themselves, this course is worth taking. Looking back, I am glad that I chose to step outside my comfort zone. Perhaps one day, when I truly need this knowledge, I will be grateful that I made this choice.
