      a very good story in reference to media literacy and how it is needed amongst television viewers
  • Media literacyBYLINE: Barry Duncan; GAMLENGTH: 156 wordsDATELINE: Toronto ONT The Globe and Mail is to be commended for the articles on children's viewing habits (Watching Children Watch Television, ec. -- May 14). While the research on the impact of television on children is often contradictory, most people would agree that some kind of critical viewing skills can help to give young people valuable insights into television and its social and commercial implications. In this regard, educators have a key role to play in encouraging such programs in the schools. Fortunately, several schools are now launching critical television viewing programs. The Association for Media Literacy is the only group of teachers in Canada who have a comprehensive approach to television literacy. It is now time for the ministry and school boards to recognize that we live in a world that requires as survival skills the ability to be media literate as well as print literate.Barry Duncan Association for Media Literacy Toronto Find Documents with Similar TopicsHelpBelow are concepts discussed in this document.

  • Literacy comparisons a tricky thing; OpinionBYLINE: Don Aitkin Don Aitkin is a former vice-chancellor of the University of Canberra.SECTION: EDUCATION; Pg. 34LENGTH: 649 wordsLike more than one or two others, I should think, I was a tad surprised when minister Brendan Nelson Enhanced Coverage LinkingBrendan Nelson &nbsp;-Search using:Biographies Plus NewsNews, Most Recent 60 Dayssaid he was worried about literacy levels and that he wanted to do something about it. Not that I think he's wrong to value high levels of literacy. High literacy standards are the foundation of a civilised society, and the higher they are the better.But one of the more recent OECD studies of literacy and numeracy put contemporary Australian kids at the very top of the tree. We have somewhat poorer scores than other countries in respect of equity (that is, family income and context really do make a difference in Australia to the levels of literacy and numeracy reached), but in Olympic terms we're up with the medal-winners. So has Nelson got it wrong? Well, no, he hasn't really. What we are seeing here is a nice example of something that bedevils political debate in Australia, and not least about education. You could call it Judgements Based on Incomplete Comparisons.Many years ago I came to the view that all judgements were either explicitly or implicitly comparative, and that it was important in argument to be very clear about the comparative basis on which you were making your judgements. Most people, it seems to me, assume that their position must be the right one because they have some good data. But there are other data, and to ignore them is to ignore other possibilities.That is, if Nelson says he thinks Australian literacy levels are too low he must be comparing them with something. And there are three basic possibilities. He could be comparing them with some ideal or technical standard, like an ideal world in which every single Australian is completely literate in every sense, or has passed some recognised external test of literacy.Or he could be comparing them, as I did a moment ago, with other countries like us, and argue that we should be even further ahead (which he may well think).Or he could be comparing them either backward or forwards in time. We actually have lower standards of literacy than we had 50 years ago, not because kids are less able or because teaching standards have slipped but because we have taken into our society many people from other lands who are not literate in English, some of them not even literate in the strict sense in their own preferred languages. So he could be arguing that we should be getting back to the standards of literacy that obtained in, say, 1950.He could be going for some combination of these possibilities, as well, but most people usually rest on one and ignore the others. He seemed to be referring to actual examples of illiteracy he had encountered, or heard of, which had to fall far below any acceptable standard.You can see Incomplete Comparisons in many debates for example, about whether we're devoting the right amount to Business Expenditure on Research and Expenditure. Some critics will say that it's inadequate, whatever it is, which is an example of the Comparison against an Ideal. Others will point to, say, the Netherlands or the US or Japan (all countries, unlike ourselves, with a large manufacturing sector) and say that we need to aim there (Comparison Across Space). Defenders will say that the figure is absolutely or relatively higher than it was last year or five years ago (Comparison over Time). All will wield their statistics triumphantly, as though their data can't be controverted.But of course they may all be right: Australia does spend less than some other countries, but more than it used to spend, and it is unlikely to spend as much as the US, even proportionately, or be the top country in the world in this competition. How does that help anyone make a decision?In Australia we seem to argue frequently in this profitless way, preferring our own statistics and our own perspective to anyone else's, and unwilling to recognise the real complexity of the situation.

  • Information literacy is part of lifelong learning and is crucial not only for academic and research purposes, but also in decision-making.
  • Information literacy a crucial career skillSECTION: CAREERS; Pg. B09LENGTH: 612 wordsCareer security in an uncertain world often depends on information, information and information.At first glance, you'd think if anyone should feel secure at work it would be Larry Beck. For over 12 years, he has worked for a large, successful firm that has invested in his training.Beck doesn't feel secure, however, and neither do many of his contemporaries. "The people I work with, the people I sit beside, the people I meet in the elevator who do the same function as I do feel like they have their feet dangling in the water surrounded by sharks," he says.Beck spends his days on the phone and online, providing technical support to line workers. The sharks have been circling his section, he confides, since his employer began moving some of the support function off-shore."We were told it was a business need," he recalls. "And when we asked about our own jobs the response was: 'At this time there is no plan to outsource this function.' But we all feel like it's just a matter of time."Beck writes about the column I wrote in this space on Sept. 8 , The changing face of labour in Canada, which noted: "The Canadian market for skills and labour is strong ... 42 per cent of all occupations and 35 per cent of all industries are now experiencing skill or labour shortages.""Where are these jobs?" he asks. "What industries are desperate for skilled labour? I would gladly embark on a training/apprenticeship program if I could identify the industry and occupation in need."Beck wants what many want: a crystal ball into which he can gaze and see the future. No such magical device exists, however. Nobody but you can decide on the sort of work you'll do, the job you'll take on, the skills you should develop.And if you're changing career direction, as Beck would like to, the industries you decide to target and the strategic moves you make to find your way can only be determined by you.The process can take months and perhaps even years. As it evolves, you'll need a great deal of information.Internet technology puts information (sometimes too much of it) at our fingertips. And it takes information literacy, as it's called, to wade through it, decide what's relevant and what isn't. Information literacy, the ability to find, organize, evaluate and use information, is a survival skill in today's workplace. You can't be creative on your own behalf without it.Information is Roger Sauve's stock in trade. His company, People Patterns Consulting (www.peoplepatternsconsult ing.com), published the Canada Jobs Update 2007, which includes the labour market information (LMI) in my September column.LMI explains how the labour market operates. It can be historical, current or projected and is often presented in charts and graphs compiled from statistics, surveys and sectoral studies. It can also be gathered informally, during conversations with people working in a particular field.Sauve's blend of expertise provides a snapshot of information literacy in action. He's an economist by trade, he says, with experience as a market researcher, futurist and demographer.The challenge for Beck and others considering a career change is to learn how to be their own economist, market researcher and demographer.It's a matter of being acutely self-aware, says Sauve. "Anybody who's in any job should have feelers out much of the time, so they can see what's happening in their industry and some other industries, as well."More about this in my next column.Janis Foord Kirk is a public speaker and author of Survivability, Career Strategies for the New World of work.

  • Guardian UnlimitedMay 9, 2012 WednesdayBeastie Boys sued over alleged copyright infringementBYLINE: Sean Michaelsguardian.co.ukLENGTH: 316 wordsABSTRACTRappers hit with lawsuit a day before the death of Adam Yauch FULL TEXTBeastie Boys are once again being sued over their alleged use of unlicensed samples. The rappers used parts of two songs by the US go-go band Trouble Funk without permission, according to papers filed just one day before the death of Adam Yauch.Yauch, his Beastie bandmates, and their labels are all named in a lawsuit by Tuf America, the company that represents Trouble Funk. The suit alleges that Trouble Funk's tracks Drop the Bomb and Say What, both issued in 1982, were sampled repeatedly by Beastie Boys in the late 80s. The lawsuit was filed in New York federal court on Friday. Yauch died on Saturday morning.According to Tuf America's complaint, the Beasties' song Shadrach allegedly samples Say What, while Drop the Bomb is apparently used on two tracks from the rappers' debut album, as well as on Car Thief, from 1989's Paul's Boutique. Although the statute of limitation for copyright infringement has passed, Tuf America say the Beastie Boys never declared the samples had been used, and accuse the group of "purposely concealing the integration" of Trouble Funk's original music. "Only after conducting a careful audio analysis of Shadrach," they wrote, "[were we] able to determine that Shadrach incorporates the Say What sample."Despite Tuf America's allegations, all of the Beastie Boys' Trouble Funk samples have been noted on the website Who Sampled - and onWikipedia - for some time. The Beastie Boys' labels did attempt to license all of the samples on their records, even before 1991's landmark sampling case between Gilbert O'Sullivan and Biz Markie.Tuf America alleges copyright infringement, unjust enrichment and misappropriation. In addition to seeking punitive damages, it has requested a permanent injunction forbidding the Beastie Boys from selling recordings that contain these samples.

There are many reasons why media studies are absent from the primary and secondary school curricula, including cuts in budgets and social services as well as over-packed schedules and expectations.

article case licensing distribution music industry

shared by Xavier Ortiz Serrano on 17 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • IntroductionOne of the most startling byproducts of the Internet revolution has been the widespread and illicit sharing of copyrighted musical works. The Recording Industry Association of America ("RIAA") reported that an astonishing two billion songs are traded online each month. 1 Clearly, this development has enormous ramifications for numerous stakeholders, running the gamut from artists to record labels to consumers. This Article argues that there should be government regulation in the online distribution of copyrighted musical works. More specifically, it argues for a scheme of compulsory licensing in which a federal agency would set different regulatory rules such as mandated price ranges for the online distribution of songs. A system of compulsory licensing already exists in other contexts within the music industry, 2 and some scholars have proposed statutory compulsory licensing as a possible solution to the high transaction costs involved in contracting with a large number of different music publishers. 3 This Article intends to contribute to the literature in the following ways: first, by arguing that the anti-competitive nature of the music industry inhibits innovation and that this anti-competitive structure is what justifies government regulation in the form of compulsory licensing, and second, by detailing how a scheme of compulsory licensing could be effectively implemented and how such a system's benefits would outweigh its costs.This Article advances five basic arguments: 1) the government should grant copyrights to innovators in order to generate the optimum level of creative output; 2) the copyright system fails&nbsp;...

  • I. Introduction&nbsp; A great rock show can change the world, some claim, but can concerts save the popular music business? Since squeezing revenue out of exploiting copyrights in recorded music has become increasingly difficult, many contend that live performance will become the focal point of the music business. The common claim is that the concert business will support not only itself, but also finance the production of studio recordings. This article considers the viability of business models based on linking freely available recordings to other revenue-producing activities, particularly live performance.As it becomes ever more difficult to persuade people to pay for recorded music, some suggest that live performance is the last economic redoubt for musicians - the only unique, excludable, non-duplicable product left in the music business. David Bowie summed up the argument nicely in a New York Times interview several years ago:&nbsp;"I'm fully confident that copyright ... will no longer exist in 10 years, and authorship and intellectual property is in for such a bashing. Music ... is going to become like running water or electricity... . Take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left." 1
