Begin online discussions of the online research project. In your group you are assigned two websites to critique. Your conclusions should be informed by literature you have read in the course, further research of all sources (print and web), an online discussion in your group Dropbox and email with your group, documents shared through DropBox, and an examination of the websites using the WayBackMachine and current websites. Be sure label the files with your contribution in Dropbox with your last name and then the subject. For example, Ewell_Napster.docx. This will help me to more quickly assess your contributions. Group 1 Shazam and The Pirate Bay Group 2 Limewire and Frostwire Group 3 Shazam and The Pirate Bay Group 4 Napster and Rhapsody Group 5 Kazaa and Pandora In your group and in your paper answer these questions for each of the two websites: Who is responsible for the website? Who created the website? What is the mission or purpose of the website? Does/did the website have features that do not conform to present day copyright protections? How did the website change over time? (Use the "WayBackMachine") How does/did the website protect the rights of the creators presented there? What fees if any are associated with the website? How do the owners of the website make money? |
