  •  
    Source: NPR. Date: December 30, 2010. Genre: Music. Sami Yenigun explores a new type of house music called dubstep. Known for its heavy bass, dubstep has began to take the music scene by storm. Derived from London, England, dubstep is a very new genre of music that falls into the electronic or house category. This type of music is particularly attracting to the younger crowds, mainly college level students. Artists such as Nero, Caligula, Skrillex and James Blake have become popular names in this new kind of music. Since it is so appealing to the younger and more energetic crowds, it got some of the biggest response at music festivals such as the Electric Daisy Carnival.

Copyright Challenge for Sites That Excerpt - 0 views

  •  
    Issued: March 2009. Big companies are starting to crack down on copyright infringements. With over 15 lawsuits in 2007, the number of lawsuits targeted against blogs has started to rapidly rise. The author, Brian Stelter, is a writer for New York Times who's main focus is on television and the digital media. This article seems to be aimed at the big companies who the author believes are unfairly digging into to copyright laws. The article mentions a lot of disputes such as the ones between New York Times and Gate House Media, Silicon Alley Insider and The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press and All Headlines News and others. Most of the websites getting sued were blogs or newspaper websites that quoted other people's works, assuming it would be okay under the "fair use" statute of copyright laws.
