while I was watching this video, I suddenly had a desire to share this video with my friends. Then I realised that there are serious ethics issues here. Such is the life of a NM4204 student. 1. Is it alright to video a clip of a live performance? Seeing as I have just spent a couple of hundreds on a ticket, surely I am allowed to bring home some memories. Leaving uploading online aside, is the act of recording infringing on rights? Seeing as it does not harm either party if the clip is stroed in my device, and I viewed at my own time. 2. By us (me that is to say) sharing this file while everyone in the class, have I stepped into the boundaries of infringing on copyrights, seeing as the playback of this clip asynchronously can constitute as a public performance right? In any case, enjoy this song first before you think about these. One of my favourite artist.

Hands up if you have heard about Michael Jackson's death? Hands up if you have followed in his events? Hands up if you think a lot of attention has been accredited to many things, except a deep grief for a lost of such a great musician? The death of the King of Pop has once again resurfaced some of MJ's greatest achievements, but have also brought along many of his other not so, as previously judged by the public, desirable acts such as plastic surgery? Leveraging on this case, does the media (in the broad sense of the word) have the ethical obligation to disclose ALL information about their subjects whom they were reporting on, regardless of the consequences?
