    Lessig starts with a story about a documentarian and the specter of litigation in that community of practice when it comes to fair use and clearing images, sounds, etc. in documentary filmmaking. He goes on to consider how to reframe copyright: "[W]e need an approach that recognizes the errors in both extremes, and that crafts the balance that any culture needs: incentives to support a diverse range of creativity, with an assurance that the creativity inspired remains for generations to access and understand."

Fair Use

    This was an interesting video that was introduced to me last semester in Digital Libraries. The creators of Monty Python came up with a very clever way to turn the tables of having so many of their videos "ripped off." Instead of the public posting bad poor quality versions of their videos, they provide a collection of their videos themselves, along with links to purchasing them!

    I am a big pop music/culture nut. Always have been...probably always will be. So, when I really started thinking about social media and all its uses, I began to wonder...who out there uses social media to it's fullest potential. The answer was obvious. Lady Gaga! When I did a quick search on Lady Gaga and social media, I got a lot of hits. But I wasn't surprised. She is the master when it comes to sites like Facebook and Twitter. Yes, she is out there wearing meat dresses and making fun songs, but it's her presence on social networking sites that I feel has really catapulted her to super stardom. What do you all think?

    Here's a little video about Lady Gaga's online presence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMz7go8_ywA

    I'm not that familiar with entertainment and social media, but I do realize the powerful influence it has within that culture. After reading the article you posted, I was even more surprised! I like that fact that someone no one knows anything about has a chance to live their dream by these social sites. It almost makes it more fair instead of someone with just money becoming famous.

    i'm a pop music/culture nut, too! i love the contradiction of how gaga tries have such a detached, robotic stage presence (for example i read somewhere that she doesn't even want to be seen drinking water on stage so she doesn't appear human), yet she is so accessible through facebook and twitter, and makes her anti-bullying campaign relatable with personal examples. she definitely found ways to use facebook and twitter to her advantage, and has dedicated followers all over the world because of it. there's so shortage of content for fans to obsess over.

    http://images.nymag.com/images/2/daily/2011/05/12_v_gagaletter.pdf For your perusal. Gaga compares herself to librarianship.

    that's amusing. but naturally, not everyone would agree: http://blog.libraryjournal.com/annoyedlibrarian/2011/05/18/five-ways-lady-gaga-is-not-a-librarian/ actually this article^ should annoy librarians more than gaga's piece, in my opinion. also, this is the video the article references.....i highly suggest watching it if you haven't seen it already. a friend sent it to me when i got accepted into the program...i didn't know whether to be excited or frightened about what i'd just gotten myself into... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_uzUh1VT98

    hmm. is it gaga or her p/r team creating the image? Is her voice really hers? How do we know?

    I am sure it is more her "team" then her herself. But, still...it's rather impressive.

    Cleverbot is conversational AI software . It doesn't quite pass the Turing test but "talking" to it can nonetheless be a little eerie, and it's fair to say that Cleverbot is an example of how machines/programs will become even more anthropomorphic. Plus, it has a pretty irreverent sense of humor.

    Sorry if this comes up twice, I've been having internet connection issues. This is a really great article about an artist who made a pixellated version of a Miles Davis photograph for his chiptune tribute.  The photographer sued him and the artist lost.  It's just really important to ask ourselves where the line between copy and transformative work should be drawn and the artist (who wrote the article) provides several examples of items for sale that he finds to be similar to his work, yet appear unchallenged.

    I'm really curious where $245 million in operating revenue comes from. I looked at the 1939 World's Fair by Potion, that was very cool. Also, this feels like the third article I've come across this week where crowdsourcing and having users organize and create the content led to positive outcomes. This was the other http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/22/world-war-ii-mystery-solved-in-a-few-hours/?hp
