TUESDAY HOMEWORK
For your homework (DUE Tuesday: 9/29), please login to Vocat and watch the film Downloaded (CLICK HERE TO ACCESS FULL FILM). I believe if you want to view the film without commercials it is available on Netflix (at least it was at one time). If you’ve seen the film, and would like to watch Winters’ follow up film ‘Deep Web,’ it is available for purchase, and you can do the following assignment based on that film instead.
Decide if you agree with the view held by Napster supporters or the view held by the music industry.
Find 3 sources that back up your view, and write a sentence that requires citation. Please format your sources/sentences as I have in the example below:
EXAMPLE:
In Dr. Dave Carter and Ian Rogers’ “Fifteen years of ‘Utopia’:Napster and Pitchfork as technologies of democratization” the claim is made that industry hierarchies that resulted from disruption caused by services like Napster and Pitchfork carry on to this day (Carter).
* Carter, David, and Ian Rogers. “Fifteen years of ‘Utopia’: Napster and Pitchfork as technologies of democratization.” First Monday 19, no. 10 (2014).
The purpose of this is to prepare for the Midterm Proposal, which is tentatively due October 22nd. I want to make sure everyone is clear on properly citing sources, which I will not be SUPER strict on format, but WILL be super strict on the citation attempts. Plagiarism will not be tolerated on midterm submissions.

FRIDAY’S CLASS (9/24)
Friday’s class is optional, however those that come will be excused from either a previous or future absence. The class will focus on Github, Github Pages, Ruby on Rails, and Ruby Middleman. The session will be more technically challenging than other technical tutorial class sessions. Those of you that have mastered HTML and CSS prior to this class are encouraged to attend.
