NPR: 50 Great Voices Podcast - 0 views

  •  
    NPR: 50 Great Voices is a weekly music oriented podcast. Every week the broadcast showcases a relatively unheard amazing vocalist whom they wish to share with their listeners. Each week of the year a new singer is brought on the show, this episode was broadcasted on February 1, 2011. This week's episode was focused on a jazz/pop singer named Dianne Reeves who the show was interested in because of the fact that she'd so beautifully mixed the two genres. The show provides a brief background history of the singer, i.e. what they've done in the past, who they've worked for, and what records they appear on. After listening to the two songs by Dianne Reeves the show provided I have come to the conclusion that she is an exceptionally talented woman, who is way worth listening to and in the future I would like to see new pieces of her career become public.

  •  
    Date issued: January 7, 2010. An article from Law Vibe. Written by C.C. at International Law News/Lawyer Lifestyle. The article was written about what in the writer's opinion were the top ten biggest copyright infringement lawsuits between 2000 and 2009. Cases such as "Napster shuts down", "Apple sues Pystar", and UMG and Viacom take on Veoh and Youtube" lead the article. A reoccurring theme in the business of copyright lawsuits seems to be illegal file sharing online. Many websites that provided options for illegally downloading music have been sued or shut down over the years, including Napster and Pirate Bay. Modeling agencies such as Perfect 10 sued Google over copyrighted pictures of their models showing up online, the courts however ruled this fair use and the case has since been closed. This article shows a brief history of how copyrighting has become a central legal issue over the past decade and how various companies and defendants have dealt with the cases presented to them.
