Week 6: Creating Multimedia Products
Videos are a pain. Especially on the chromebook. This thing is so restricting. The presentation software is limiting, as is Google sites and all of google. Don’t get me wrong, Google has opened large, heavy and rusted-closed doors. Maybe it is because of the School’s restrictions, but that won’t change anytime soon. Anyway, there will not be a video because, one: Wevideo stinks and two: I don’t have the patience nor do i have the time. I tried. I got frustrated. I gave up. It is the cycle of the teenager. Hahaha. “But don’t you have another computer or couldn't you have just shot it on your Iphone.” No Steve, because being the middle child, you don’t get the nice computer, your brother has it and he is playing minecraft. And the other one, is with my sister and she’s watching her TV shows. Me… I’m stuck with the Chromebook. Anyway, no video.
Okay, onto the topic at hand: Copyright. “Copyright is a set of exclusive legal rights to reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute something tangible (ideas don’t count). Almost anything can be copyrighted. Having something copyrighted means that others must ask permission to reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute said copyrighted thing. Intellectual property is property that derives from the work of the mind. Copyright is established as soon as the work is created. Permission need to be granted before someone else reproduces, publishes, sells, or distributes the work.” (Ignition Module 6) Copyright is the reason you can’t find some anime on a certain cite or that videos like the AOT OVA2 were taken down from youtube but you’re lucky because you saw it before it was taken down.
Lesson from last week: Steal all you want as long as you cite it. Lesson from this week: Be a teacher, steal all you want. Another part of Copyright is Fair use. “Fair use is an exception to copyright. it supports freedom of speech and new creations. There are four main types of Fair usage. First with news reporting, crediting your sources is necessary to use copyrighted material when reporting news. Secondly for educational use, using copyrighted materials for school projects and citing sources. Third is for critical commentary, the process of using copyrighted material to try to prove a point. Lastly in terms of a parody or the imitation of material to create something new.” (ignition Module 6).

I really liked how you added that bit about chromebooks. It's so true. And as long as you site it you can pretty much take all you want.
ReplyDeleteOMG I totally agree with your rant about the chromebooks and the school restricting EVERYTHING. I can't access youtube, spodify, netflix, anything.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't agree with you about the part being if you site it you can take all you want because what if you are at the library, you rent a cd, burn if and distribute it to your friends. You scribble on the top that you got it from the library and kudos to whomever wrote it, the library won't care that you sited it, they'll fine the you know what out of you. You can't steal any information and cite it. Just don't steal some info in the first place. Its all relative.
