Remix


Haley Ketchum

Copyright is a huge issue that not many people know about. Copyright is obviously very important, as it protects an artist’s work and prevents others from stealing their ideas and making money off the artist. But like the mom who uploaded her son’s video to YouTube, I had no idea that you could get sued for sharing a video featuring an artist’s music, but it makes sense to me. If the video had gone viral, the mom could have made money off the video, causing her to make money off of Prince’s work. This is not really fair, so I understand why copyright laws need to be taken seriously. I think the mom should have not fought back and just let the video be deleted because it was clear she had broken the law. I also think it is crazy that John Lennon’s copyright debate was still occurring even after the exhibit had opened. It seems excessive and the lawyers were taking it to seriously. I think there is a fine line between stealing an artist’s work and simply having fun with remixing or sharing a video with music in the background.

    I agree that copyright is a big deal today, but certain situations are more severe than others.

    I did not take copyright issues seriously, such as the case as the mom sharing a video of her son dancing. I agree that a lot of these cases are excessive and unreasonable.

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.
