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

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.
