Final Group Web Project

Due Friday, December 7, 3:00 PM - 5:30 PM, LLA 223: (1000-2000 words)

Your final group project will be on a topic chosen by your group relating to the issues raised in Lessig's Free Culture and will be presented to the class during our regularly scheduled final exam period.

Each group will focus on one specific web site that deals with copyrighted digital content such as YouTube, Pandora, Flickr, LastFM, GarageBand, iTunes, MySpace, GoogleBooks, MarvelDigitalComics, NetFlix, BitTorrent or any of the many, many other sites you may find. Making explicit and substantive use of Lessig, you will examine the ways in which current copyright laws are impacting these sites and the services they offer and suggest specific policy changes that might better serve the various interests involved.

Your group will publish online and then present to the class for discussion your particular case study, arguments, conclusions, and recommendations using an online medium or combination of mediums: blog posts, web pages, youtube video, podcast, or other online form/s. Be clear, creative, specific, focused, and complete in your exposition.

Post the address of your group project to your individual class blogs.
