Week Five Creating



This week we are focusing on creating.

In the NPR video "Issa", it discuss how the net to sell music is now more dominate then album sales. What ever happen to being really excited when an album came out and going to the store the day it came out? Or looking at the really cool album artwork?

I must admit the atomic tom video shows people playing music on the subway train with there iPhones. It was pretty comical and shows just how much technology is transforming. The social issues video on cosmetics and the ingredient sodium laurthem sulfate was very accurate. It shows how bold our society is, when we have a view on something it instantly goes on Youtube or a blog site. Everyone wants to be heard.

The wikipedia entry on remix talks about what it is ( an alteration on media) and the copyright implications. I feel that remixing is a form of copyright because your stealing material and then changing it and calling it your own.

The "fair use" law I completely agree with but unfortunately many of us do not follow this. "American Lawbreaking" was very insightful and shows an accurate example of what is going on this new age.

The remix controversy between Justin McIntosh and Pogo and Disney is crazy!The video is freaking genius!!!I agree with the author of this article, this video causes no harm to disney.
