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

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.
