An alternative to the binary problem of file sharing and lawsuits!  But would people be willing to pay the small monthly fee?  

Since many of Pogo's creations have been shared here. Here is a little insight from the artist himself.

After I stumbled upon the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, I remembered that back in 2009, artist Shepard Fairey was being sued by the owner of the original photograph (AP). Back then I was not very interested in copyright issues, so I never checked what happened with this case. It's interesting and kind of fair that AP and Shepard settled on working together, sharing the rights, and collaborating on other images+photographs. Even though Shepard transformed a "stolen" photograph, his "theft" actually put the original photo on the map. I consider it to be a fair solution for a fair use case.

If you ever need to download something from online...

A look at the beginning of the end for the website everyone either loved or loathed--Napster, and an exploration in (the attempts to) limit file sharing. 

Another interesting example of someone suing over copyright.

It'a a video I made a while ago about a different perspective on war and so called "terrorism." Both sides should share the guilt and put themselves in others' shoes. I took a voice of a retired veteran and made a kinetic typography mix in After Effects.

Remix blog; discusses society and remix, file sharing, sampling, and some of the things we went over in class. 

This is a cool article that briefly discusses the history of file-sharing!  We all kind of know the jist of it, but it's interesting to see it all written out.

Should we be recording concerts? Bono thinks not. Yet, this is being recorded high up somewhere else. Oh the irony. What is our's to record and what isn't? And is recording something or stealing that content depleting from our own appreciation of it "in the moment?"

Hey, I don't know if you read the other comments there but apparently "he asked people to text to specific number to support his cause during the same concert lol" (by treocin). You can't record and share a piece of Bono with your friends and family but you can share a piece of your wealth with Bono (all through your phone too!). In Bono's defense, his cause is noble: third world debt relief!!!

Copyright as intended (according to Sandra Day O'Connor and Lessig); This sight makes it easy to share your work with out allowing companies to use it for profit with out your permission. "Remix as a mode of discourse made possible by technologies of cut and paste (convergence)"

Even though it does say that it's a "copyrighted material," almost all contents of the "Pop Song Piracy: Disobedient Music Distribution since 1929" are accessible through Amazon's "look inside" (which is made possible by a publisher/owner). What does this sharing depend on? Why do some publishers allow people to read the book without buying it? (When you read a book in a library, at least one several copies are purchased). I wonder if it's because this book is published by The University of Chicago as opposed to some Penguin Publishing...

This is an example of Jenkins convergence culture in the fact that it allows someone who may not have let the world know about his life, reveal his story that has now touched many people. As Jenkins says, "every important story gets told." Also, this is another way that Ben Breedlove was able to have social connections. He made more than this one video in which he gave relationship advice to his peers but this video was his last before his heart stopped. This was one video I thought of as I read that article.

Apparently there was a remix cinema workshop in the UK in 2011. There are some cool speeches and things in here if anyone's looking for material!

came across this block out. thought it worth sharing.

Interesting article about the technology behind Napster!

Radiohead hosted an online project a few years back trying to get people hyped about their new album.  Online musicians were supposed to do a remix of their song "Reckoner."  My dad did one!
