I find it super interesting that we read about copyright but there is no specific class taught on copyright or plagiarism. It seems kinda funny, because most the time I feel expected to just know.

For instance, I was talking with another class mate about copyright but in a different manner. Copyrighting your own work, like is it right to use work from one class and use it in another even if it is a semester apart? No, it is not. But like, who is there to say?

Also, this just happened today. We are doing a group project for another class, and we have made a Facebook page for our project/event. I posted a video on Facebook, and five minutes later I get a message saying that the music may be copyrighted material and saying that I need to send a request to be able to have my video published. Like, hum, what? When did Facebook try to control what I upload, and for one they don't do that if you have a shared video via youtube, but if you upload directly to your site it supposivley doesn't like that.
So, like how do I prove to Facebook that we have rights to this song that we put on this video? WHO KNOWS!!!

It a fair use to not quite understand how copyright, or piracy, or plagiarism particularly works. But in all fairness, it changes all the time! New equipments, new technologies, new high top market material.
Like the article mentions, it i a cultural moment, its all in the systems and how more people find ways around them than follow them usefully.

Chapter Thirteen:

Eldred was a smart individual. I remember when Free databases on a public domain were just hitting the school systems when I was in the second grade --- roughly after 9/11

Thought, allowing things to available for free online sounds like a great idea and can work great. There are always those people that ruin the system  and ruin it for everybody.

Corruption
Congress
Copyright

ALL play a role in this new found database of 1995. So, the people that got ahold of copyrighted material before copyright was a thing are fake millionaires that karma is going to find because they stole it!!!

Uhg, it's such a screwy situation, cause like now how do you know what is copyright and what isn't cause the rules change all the time.

"Eric Eldred was fighting a piracy that affects us all"

Page 220

"Eric Eldred discovered, we have set up a system that assures that copyright terms will be repeatedly extended, and extended, and extended. We have created the perfect storm for the public domain. Copyrights have not expired, and will not expire, so long as 

Congress is free to be bought to extend them again."

Page 221

This is what scares me the most, is that copyright terms are extended and the perfect storm is going to have no end in site unless the internet somehow magically become obsolete. But it's also like, you end up seeing that same piece or that same article else where just a slight tweak to make it an "unoriginal"

Old..... Soul..... Baby

For being 1969 Woodstock, I love the quality of this photo, and the guys camera protected by duct tape and cardboard. Just makes we wish we could experience life in the 60's.... and 70's.... and 80's...... I feel like I was there then, like I can remember but technically I wasn't.

"teaching writing

is only about teaching kids how to spell.

Text is one part—and increasingly, not the most powerful part"

With having the younger of the generation only learn on computer is pretty absurd. How are they are going to write? How are they going to get the flow, to have the right grip while you write. It UNFORTUNATELY

Does not come completely natural like feeding our faces does. 

This discusses the very importance of writing, and how it is slowly decreasing out of school systems. Cause now, Microsoft word is the grader and word tells us when there is a misplaced comma, or period, when a word is spelled incorrectly, if we have run-on sentences, it adds hyphens for us! The possibilities that they don't exactly know the constructive uses of those elements is quite disappointing. 

"Television and newspapers are commercial entities.

They must work to keep attention.

If they lose readers, they lose revenue. 

Like sharks, they must move on.

But bloggers don’t have a similar constraint."

Blogs in a norm have a different way of adapting and does not have an absence since it's the creator that is sharing the information not just an organization. It creates more of a life and like for the nature of a blog. Fortunately they are easy to come by and easy to fulfill, unfortunately there are to many of them to weed out in order to find the PERFECT story. And that is where the newspaper and the commercial people come into play, is that they can make anything seem as entertainment versus bad news or good news. They can make something super negative seem like an everyday occurrence, and one never forgets it. 

Moving on! I find it so hilarious that Film, Recorded Music, Radio, Cable TV, were all born out of piracy. WHICH in today's culture, is highly illegal and one could not get away with it anymore. But why would one want to pirate those now? They already made million, now pirating a time machine. That's a different story.

Hopefully this works!

In efforts to calm myself of all the stresses of life, I went and found myself another four-leaf clover today!! I have found three in one particular patch this year, pretty magical.
