Week 10!

Well, this is the tenth week of the semester and that means only five more until the very end. This week was one that I had to reprogram myself to focus on class work because of the week off last week. I loved the fair use laws and what is permitted and not permitted. Some of the issues of fair use are easy to violate. Many of us are in violation of some copyright laws and do not even know it. That is why it is important to stay in the current to know of such laws and regulations. The scenarios were interesting to complete because of the time that I had to think about it. I actually used some scenarios from my real life experiences. For example, the one about the campus movie channel was really about me to some extent. I operate the one for Valdosta State University. The college is under contract with Swank Motion Picture Company on how many and what kind of movies to show each month. However, I have never shown other movies that were not in the contract. Technology is really a challenging component to regulate because it changes so much. The copyrights laws are always behind the technology. This next week I am going to focus more on the web activity because it is coming up very fast. I have not researched enough to make my final decision about what I am going to do with it.
