Remix

Before reading the remix introduction, I rarely ever focussed on copyrights. The article mentioned many cases of copyright issues that seem ridiculous. Sometimes people don't mean to do it, like the mother in the article. She just wanted to share a video of her son dancing to her family, but in the end she was sued $150,000 by Prince. Personally, I thought this was an overreaction. The mother was just sharing a video of her son dancing to a Prince song in the background. However, this just reminds people how important it is to give the original creators credit for their work, to avoid consequences like this. Even though many new ideas are originated from previous ones, credit should still be given to the owners because the new idea was based off the original one.

    Yes I agree the example with the mother is an overreaction. The reading does emphasize how important copyright laws are.

    I agree with you 100%, Prince's reaction towards the mothers video post on Youtube was an overreaction. I also believe that this reading definitely emphasized the importance of copyright laws.

    I agree that some of the copyright issues were ridiculous and that most people don't even realize they are doing it.

    I agree with what you said about the copyright being an overreaction. Im sure the mom wasn't aware of the consequences of posting the video with the prince track.

    I also agree that the reading really made me realize how important copyright laws are, and how they are taken very seriously.

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.
