Problems with the Copyright Law

This entire class has been devoted to learning and knowing exactly what copyright laws are dong for us in Amercia.  In this podcast, the evolution, the current, and the possible future of the copyright laws are described. The main focus is however is not about the laws themselves, it is more about how they need to be changed. If there is one thing I have gather from this class is that the copyright laws in America are fundamentally flawed and need revision. Copyright laws have been distorted from their original purpose, and until we can bring things back, creativity will be tightly controlled rather than encouraged.

Final Podcast: The Long Tail Discussion by S. Petrov

For decades, countless consumers in our society have waded into the swamp of a “hit-driven economy.” In general, people naturally assume or are swayed to accept the notion that whatever product reaches the rankings of “best-seller” or “top-100” must be the best and other products that fail to reach such lofty criteria are therefore not worthy of purchase and are not profitable for the companies that produce them. Nonetheless, according to Chris Anderson’s analysis, this is a general misconception. In reality, the more profitable and better products such as books, music, and videos are often located on “the long tail” or on the opposite side of the megahits.
Thus, I further expand upon this ironic reality and accumulate more examples that prove that products on “the shallow end of the bitstream” are deemed to become the foundation for the entertainment industry as online services expand their product availability, create unlimited “shelf space,” and offer more consumer choice by masking the limited choices the mega-hit-carrying retailers offer.

Origins and Cross-Cultural Analysis of Zombies by S. Petrov

Zombies have plagued our society now for several decades. Little is known about their true origin or their cross-cultural development. We are often limited to think of them as filthy, tattered, moaning, blood-gushing, and decaying beings that swarm the world in search of human flesh. Being the fourth man of the group Zombie 5 it is my duty to unravel the mysteries and misconceptions hidden behind the fear of zombies and report on their mass migration into the US over the past lingering years.
