WEB.STUDIES 2nd Edition

Web Studies 2nd Edition by Graham Roberts
Copyright in Cyberspace: Protecting Intellectual Property Online

In this piece the author provides useful information relating to online copyright issues. He brings our attention to copyright piracy and discusses a number of previous court cases involving piracy. He discusses deep linking and framing and how these tequniques have been used in attempts to ‘pass off’ work online. The piece is interesting to us on our course as we will need to be aware of these issues and be careful not to pirate work when developing online material.



Web Studies 2nd Edition by Graham Roberts
Movie-Making in the New Media Age.

In this piece Graham Roberts discuss how digital technology has affected movie-making. He discusses distribution issues and how distribution of film has evolved; he notes that the Web is not a practical channel for movie distribution due to speed issues. Roberts provides information on script writing tools available both to purchase and open source. He brings our attention to DV and predicts that this technology will eveuntly replace film he explains clearly the technology involves. He discusses shortcomings of Web delivery for film and notes that the Web works well in delivering short films. Flash animations are mentioned and Roberts notes that Flash offers the best delivery of Web animation due to its sharpness and downloading speed. He promotes the Web as a resource for an affordable promotion vehicle for independent film makers and an invaluable tool for researchers. Roberts concludes while the Web has a lot to offer the film-maker it will not replace human “talent, inspiration, knowledge, expertise and skills” and that the key to great film-making is great script.

Marina's New Project Idea







Dear friends and family in a recent attempt to further my carrier in the music industry and keep up with cousin Una and the Saturdays, I have taken to song writing. So far I have 10 completed songs and several in the works right now. Below is a song that I have entered into a contest, and had published in a poetry anthology.

My friend Laura is going to do the backing vocals for the contest and we intend to dressing like Patsy and Edina of ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ I have included an images of what we will look like and the lyrics of what will put Una out of the charts (!!!!) a song called ‘text me’.

I will need help from the whole family; I am hoping uncle Jonny will help me carry our music gear in and out of Cuba in Galway and Dolans in Limerick next week as we have arranged performances in these venues. If coz Morgan and Robbie are available I could do with their help for our gig in the Point Dublin at the end of the month.

Sandra, Gale, Mary, Shelly, Mary Sommers, Jane and Deidre Molloy will also need to contribute by way of support performers, I was thinking ye could organize a well choreographed dance routine to add to our performance, naturally an overall dress attire will be needed. You can decide between each other what color tights to wear I’m sure Coz Una wont mind lending you her electric blue tights she wore in the Saturdays most recent video.

Naturally we will be calling on Norma in NY to help us with the PR that will be required to break the US market, I think aunty Ber is visiting her at the moment so she should be able to get a break from Gilbert to assist in the promotion.

As time is off the essence in market penetration of this family project I would hope you all get back to me with your views as soon as possible. Thanks soooooo much.
