Remix

This reading was all about copyright issues and the emphasis certain individuals place on them. Completely original ideas are often hard  to come by and often times there are ideas from one thing that are transferred into other works. To me, the most shocking part of the reading was the story of the mom who got sued for taking a video of her child dancing to a Prince song and posting it on youtube. The mom most likely was unaware of the consequences of posting the video and was just trying to share the cute moment. Personally, I don't think that the mother should have been sued because if anything it would help Princes song get even more recognition and fame. This reading taught me that copyright really is no joke and that some individuals take it very seriously.

    I also agree that it was shocking that the lawyers would pursue sueing the mother for the video featuring Prince's music.

    I don't think the mother should have been sued because in her case she wasn't trying to steal Prince's work. She was just trying to share a funny video of her son dancing to his song.

    I agree that the mother should not have been sued, due to the fact that it was a toddler, and not another artist. She purely believed it was a cute video of her son, and many other viral videos with famous songs have never been sued for copyrights.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Mary Katherine Rankey annoying ways

The reading "Annoying Ways" is all about the annoying ways people choose to use their sources and the things they can do to change those quirks. The reading discussed the proper ways to cite sources and to cite quotes that the writer uses in their paper. The reading also discusses the importance of where to put a quote. Often times I find the perfect quote, but put it in an awkward place in the sentence, which not only makes my work more sloppy, but also takes away from the message of the quote. The author uses a lot of analogies in his writing to explain how the annoying ways of improper uses of quotes can mimic annoying things in real life. The reading taught me ways I can fix my writing style to fix those annoying habits I have.
