Music Downloading: Thing You Need To Know

          I don't really listen to music, but apparently there is a lot of illegal music downloads all around the world. Ever since Napster shut down there have been a lot of sites just like it, giving free music away from popular song artists. The way I look at it is that, you wouldn't steal from a store, but it is okay to steal from people online. Think about that for a while. I suggest that you use sites such as iTunes, eBay, and Amazon to get your music. If the police find out that you downloaded music illegally that you will have to pay a hefty fine and maybe go to jail. So think before you download things online. The songs my also have a virus and can destroy your computer. Live long and prosper.

Copyright Case: Smosh

        
        The internet icons "Smosh" posted a video on YouTube of a Pokemon parody video when YouTube  was just created. It was the 4 most popular video on YouTube. The video had over 24 million. Then the  Shogakukan Production Co. gave Smosh a DMCA notice then the video was removed from YouTube.This video was a parody plane and simple. Parody's are aloud under copyright law.  The company thought that it had to much of there song in it so they gave them that notice. The video was an over-the-top music parody. I think that this is outrageous . If the video was not popular no one would care. Well that's all i have for ya. Live long and prosper.

Glogster: Romania

Romania Project Review

Romania was an interesting country and has a very graphic history. I loved the project I did on it in my online a class. It was an easy project all we had to do is make a power point on our country that we picked.  The project was simple, it was not hard, but did have some difficult parts. I learned a lot about my country, I did not learn one thing, but my different things like Vlad the Impaler killed over 5,000 people in one year.  My strong point in the project was the power point in self. The thing is though I probably put too much history in the project.  My weak point was probably pronouncing the language. Whenever I can’t finish a word I make a weird sound, I kind of runs in the family. If I could say anything to the teacher is give the class maybe two extra days, but over all this was a good project so you should do it again. Live long and prosper.
