Article 6
This article made me think that there are many companies out there who are clinging onto anything they can in order to hold onto a profit. Time Warner is obviously feverishly trying to control their copyrighted holdings. They are probably losing more money than we can ever imagine due to You-Tube and other online video sites. It is hard to feel bad for them because they are creating media and releasing it out into the world. How can you expect it to stay sacred and non-touched in today's internet society?
The other thing that I kept thinking while reading this article was that any exposure is good exposure. Time Warner should do a study to see how You-Tube circulation affects the sale of their media. I've gone onto I-tunes and seen songs in the top 100 that were from years ago (Journey-Don't Stop Believing) and wondered what prompted so many to buy them? I have a feeling that in some cases these songs are back on these charts because of online exposure and sharing.

As an educator I am continuously upset by people who try to limit information from others. To me it sounds as though the record companies want to thwart people just because they aren't getting any money from Youtube.
This article is proof that as long as large companies run our society, we will only be fed the media they want us to see, hear, read about.
This also brings about an issue I have about the internet and the public school system. I don't understand why Youtube is blocked on the school's internet server. There are so many educational videos which could be downloaded.
