Lecture
So this weeks lecture was a coninuation about peer to peer file sharing and also free software online. We spoke briefly about peer to peer file sharing again before we watched a movie by a corporation called "TED" which talked about how we once interected in a "read write" mode but now its more of a "read only" mode. The movie showed us clips of what people our age can create and made the point that while our parents are watching tv and listening to music we are making tv and making music. Whic is true considering this weeks tutorial task. After this point we began talking about free softwares and came up with a list of software we frequently use including, msn, internet explorer, windows office, photoshop, linus, mac OS, iTunes etc. we were then introduced into some other softwares which are free and work as efficently if not better than there expensive counter parts an example of this is GIMP *GNU Image Manipulation Program*. We spoke up the creation of the GNULinux platfrom and what provoke its creators to create free re-writable software.
Tutorial

so yeah is my attempt it a montage of clips and effects of a band called all time low.

not amazing work but still its better than that.

Readings
This weeks readings were "Why Software Should Not Have Owners" by Richard Stallman, FLOSS Is Not Just Good For Teeth and Cory Doctorow: Creative Commons. The readings talk about file sharing and open softwares on the internet. The creative commons reading speaks more against the concept of file sharing as it believes people have the right to create something and not have it stolen, in the same way however if you dont want your belongings stolen then you dont share it openly as such. The other readings speak about open software as well and that software should not be owned as a company as such but should be open to all users to use and modify in there own personal way. By doing this they could prevent people hacking systems and also use a broader amount of knowledge to increase the softwares potential.
