Vlog, taking it on the road, week 9

Well I decided to just do a day in the life,although I should have started taping early in the am... I tried my best with my busy schedule, and what you are seeing is actually quite a few hours of editing and video taping.
Hope you enjoy it!

Vlog

Well I hope no one actually sees this! It is late, but trust me I have been working on this forever, and for some reason I can never get a silent moment! So What you are seeing is a pretty edited (children screaming like they are dying and dogs barking etc) but it still has some comical moments.....or should I say disasters, especially when the dogs hair looks absolutely terrible!

The Kindle "Fire"

I myself own a Kindle Fire, I love it, it is amazing, and actually I had no idea that a Kindle could read books out loud, so I am going to have to check that out in a bit!
While reading through the links given in class I branched out and did a little of my own research and found this quote from http://www.georgeforce.com/?p=197 
about the lawsuit "If this lawsuit goes through, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes illegal to read books aloud."
Basically the people behind the law suit "the guild" says that the computer voices that change text to audio will undermine the audio book market and basically all those famous actors and such reading those audio cds we like to listen to in the car will be out of work.
Amazon remains steadfast saying the books are properly licenced.

As for my opinion? I'm not really sure.

Copyright infrindgemnt, or fair use? Week 6

So after reading the article about how the street artist Shepard Fairey used a picture of Obama he found on Google search to make a poster supporting the campaign, I was kind of up in the air about it.
I do think he changed it enough though, even the person who took the original photo had no idea that he had taken it!
It is a fine line though, and I believe that before you take someones photo, you should at least try and see if you can have permission to change it, even if you are making it into something they themselves won't recognize.
That's my take on it at least.
