Remix

I really liked what the author said about the damage that we're not thinking about; the harm to a generation from rendering criminal what comes natural to them. I've never really thought about it that deeply. I've never felt like a criminal for downloading music even though I know it's illegal. But maybe knowing it's illegal all while being a normal thing that everyone does daily has had some kind of subconscious effect on us as a generation. It's interesting to think about copyright and wonder at what point is a line crossed? I think the story of Stephanie Lenz and her baby was completely unreasonable. It was a 30 second video of terrible quality that no one would ever download for the audio of Prince's song and because of that I don't think it should've ever gone as far as it did.

    I totally agree that we don't realize the damage of copyrights. And I totally see your point as to how something illegal can feel so normal.

    I agree it is interesting to think of copyright issues as serious criminal issues. I also think some of the examples given were completely unreasonable.

    I like how you focused on how we really don't notice the harm we do when it comes to copyright infringement. I agree that the situation with the mother filming her child should not have been dealt with in such an extreme manner, the punishment should simply fit the crime.

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.
