Remix Reading

Syvannah Boland

I have always known basic copyright laws and how they work, but reading this article made me realize how not crediting an artist when using even the smallest clip of picture of them can turn into a lawsuit (which was something I was not aware could happen). The situation where the mother records her child dancing with a Prince song in the background seems like an innocent and harmless video. However, it was crazy to find out that the mother was sued for $150,000 for posting something she didn't even know was wrong to post. This shows that this woman, along with many others, are not aware of copyright infringement and the depth of the action when it is done. I now know not to post a video with a song, picture, etc. without giving credit to the artist, even if it is barely used or seen in the background. I feel as if there needs to be more education on this subject, as there is about plagiarism. Almost every class emphasizes to not plagiarize and explains what it is, but do not do so with copyright infringement.

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.

Jamica Williams What are some subversion examples the author mentions? A few books the the author mentions It's just a plant, Heather has two Mommies, and Gloria Goes Gay Can you think of other 2 books or movies that are subversion? Scary movie 1 and 2 Why are they subversion? Scary movie is subversive because it takes into account the the rhetorical factors in most scary movies and joke on them. Its more of a comedy than a "scary" movie. Each of the characters do exactly whats expected. They run the opposite way like up the stairs, trip and fall multiple times, and even live with the ghost that is haunting them. What do you think "GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP?" Who should be the target audience for this book? The audience of this book is any adult/parent. Because its probably R-Rated its targeted to older people, and anyone can find this humorous.
