War Of The Words
examples of a good and effective marketing message
You may not be old enough to remember it, I know I am not, but you have undoubtedly heard of Orson Welles radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. It was a radio play so effective, it literally fooled most of America into a panic, thinking real aliens had invaded the country. Obviously, it was an incredibly effective production, but more than that, it was a product of its medium. Can you honestly imagine it having the same effect in any other format than radio? Many movies have tried to achieve the same result, but most have not come close. This highlights an important aspect of marketing. Sometimes getting your message out to customers is less about the words themselves, but the medium you use to portray them. Whatever your marketing message is, there is a uniquely suited print ad for it. Some will be obvious at even a cursory glance, but others may not be so obvious. Consider the following examples: Changes in Your Company - This can cover a broad range of possible changes but, whether you are adding support staff or forging new partnerships, newsletter printing is hands down the best method of relaying to your customers how your latest achievement or growth benefits them. Newsletters provide you with enough space for multiple articles, images and headlines. The key is to make sure your news is relevant to your customers. Readers are going to nod off and quit paying attention as soon as you start talking about how you just put up new wallpaper in your personal office. Changes in Your Inventory - It could be that you have extensively expanded you inventory thanks to partnering with new vendors, or it could be that you are phasing out old products as they reach the end of their product lifecycle. Catalog printing will ensure that your customers are informed of the entire range of your product offerings. Catalogs are extensive and provide you with all the room you need to highlight each of your products, along with images and product specifications. Keep your catalogues up to date, though. An out of date catalogue serves no one, so as you make large inventory changes, update your catalogue to match. Taking a New Direction with Your Brand - This is always a challenging time. If you are brand image has been slipping in effectiveness or if it just needs a facelift to keep up with the times, booklet printing should be your first choice. With colorful images and sleek, high quality paper stock, booklets are the perfect medium for presenting your new image in a professional and attractive way. Do not forget that booklets are great for showing off how serious you are about staying competitive at trade shows and industry conventions. Your message is important. Do not let it flounder as a result of a poor choice of medium. Where would good old Orson Welles be without the radio, after all? Probably just a footnote in history instead of a radio and screen icon. For comments and inquiries about the article visit: Booklet Printing, Catalog Printing, Newsletter Printing

The new world of today's entertainment – digital videos, e-books and audio
The digital revolution has transformed the way we receive information and indulge in entertainment. We no longer have to listen to the radio, watch TV, go to the movies, or pick up books at our local bookstore. Instead, we can get virtually of the information and entertainment we need with a few clicks of our mouse.
The digital revolution has transformed the way we receive information and indulge in entertainment. We no longer have to listen to the radio, watch TV, go to the movies, or pick up books at our local bookstore. Instead, we can get virtually of the information and entertainment we need with a few clicks of our mouse. Digital videos, e-books, and audio products are appealing for two primary reasons: they're affordable and they're instantly downloadable. Because there is no manufacturing process per se, you don't have to pay for tangible goods or packaging. Plus, those providing informational products and digital entertainment don't have the high overhead costs of a brick-and-mortar retail outlet, such as leasing a storefront and paying salaries of sales associates. As a result, digital downloads are a fraction of the price of the similar items you'd buy at a store. Similarly, digital information and entertainment offers the ultimate convenience. Because digital products are instantly downloadable, you can easily find what you want, pay for it, and download it in a matter of minutes. You never have to traipse to the store, face online backorders, or wait for your books, music, and videos to arrive in the mail. Because the technology to create digital videos, e-books, and audio products is widely available, you have a greater choice than ever before. Indeed, you can find excellent sources of information and entertainment that mainstream publishers might overlook. Moreover, many sources of entertainment and informational products allow you to sample the wares before you buy, by enabling you to listen to a portion of the audio or read a few pages of the ebooks. That's not to say that, for example, bestsellers aren't available on audio. You can find audio versions of James Patterson and Michael Connelly crime novels as well as non-fiction bestsellers like "Freakonomics" and "Preacher and the Presidents." But you can also find e-books on a wide range of topics written by experts who may never publish a bound book. For example, perhaps you love to garden and want to learn the secrets of bonsai gardening or how to do companion planting and design an organic, sustainable food system. Because of the lead-time involved in publishing a book, e-books also allow you to get up to the minute information on timely topics. Take the current housing market, for example. If you're a homeowner who wants to sell or an investor looking to take advantage of the increase in foreclosures, you can't afford to wait a year or two for a book to be published to learn the best strategies for reaching your goal. E-books allow you to get the information you need right now. Perhaps the best feature of downloadable products is flexibility. For example, you can download audio books without any special software, and then either listen to them, transfer them to an MP3 player, or burn them onto a CD. Digital videos, e-books, and audio products are the wave of the future - and the future is today!
Movies In India: Going Places
Movies in India have been a constant source of entertainment for generation of Indians. Over the years, the style of making the movies has changed. A lot of regional movies too are made India, but it is the Hindi film industry that rules the roost.
For generation of Indians, movies have been a way to celebrate life. Right from the days of pre-colonial era, movies have entertained a vast number of Indians. Indian public have a certain affinity towards the movies as it allows them to feel the ambience of the make believe world. Not just limited to India, the movies are also in great demand among the neighboring countries and in various parts of the world, especially in countries where one can find sizeable Indian population.
Indians got the first taste of cinema on 7 July, 1896, when Lumiere brothers unveiled six silent movies at the Watson hotel at Bombay. Inspired by the silent movies, a quite revolution started, which was helmed by eminent personalities like Hiralal, J.F.Madan and F.B. Thanewala. But it was Dadasaheb Phalke, who made a full length feature film on the life of Raja Harischandra and released it commercially in the year 1913. This was the era of silent movies.
The first sound film in India was Alam Ara directed by Ardeshir Irani in the year 1931. Since then, the Indian film industry has never looked back. Compared to regional film industry, the Hindi film industry is quite big. In fact it has the record of churning more films in a year. Over the years, the style of making movies India has changed a lot. Nowadays a lot of technology is being incorporated to make the story more realistic.
In recent years, major production houses have come up and it also includes big names of Hollywood. They too want to cash in on the success of Indian movies. Indian movies are very much popular among the western audiences in particular due to its opulent sets, high emotions, song and dance sequence etc. The overseas market has been a source of large profit for the producers.
Movies in India not only depict the life of common Indians, but are also a medium through the world can view the growth of India as a nation. With a stable economic growth and a largely young population, Indian movies can certainly go places.

Jai Ho Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards in 2009 and won eight, the most for any film of 2008, including Best Picture and Best Director. It also won five Critics' Choice Awards, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film. Despite the film's success, it is the subject of controversy concerning its portrayals of Indians and Hinduism as well as the welfare of its child actors.
The movie is about the Indian version of the hit TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik, a former Mumbai street-kid who has a job making tea at a call centre. He astonishes all of India by entering the show as a contestant and triumphantly getting question after question right. Is he a fraud? A savant genius? Or is something weird going on? His amazing winning streak means he has to come back the next evening for the final big-money question and overnight he is brutally interrogated by Mumbai cops convinced he is a cheat. They take him through each of the questions he got right, and Jamal's life story unfolds in flashback as our hero reveals that each question, like each of Max Bygraves's cards, has a special significance. His tale involves crime, drama, knockabout comedy and romance. Various characters determine his fate: his gangster brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), the love of his life Latika (Freida Pinto) and Prem (Anil Kapoor), the creepy quizmaster himself, who has his own interest in Jamal's staggering success.
This movie has interesting antecedents. It is not the first to be made about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Patrice Leconte's 2006 film My Best Friend, starring Daniel Auteuil, features a nailbiting edition of the French version of Millionaire. Leconte's film, like Boyle's, culminates with a "phone a friend" showstopper and both cheekily suggest the show is transmitted live, when, in real life, it is of course recorded and edited well in advance, at least partly to weed out the cheats.
Slumdog Millionaire is The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman who planned the score over two months and completed it in two weeks.[103] Rahman won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and won two out of the three nominations for the Academy Awards, including one for Best Original Score and one for Best Original Song, the song "O... Saya" got a nomination shared with M.I.A. and the other song "Jai Ho" won the award and was shared with lyricist Gulzar. The soundtrack was released on M.I.A.'s record label N.E.E.T. Radio Sargam termed the soundtrack "magnum opus and the entire world is known to this fact."
Slumdog director Danny Boyle - whose works such as Trainspotting, The Beach and Sunshine have all featured scores of nearly equal grandeur to the movies themselves - chose Rahman due to his unparalleled success (he's sold over 100 million records and 200 million cassettes worldwide) and ubiquity in the Bollywood world in order to add to the film's authenticity. Planning and completing the score in only two and a half months, Rahman worked out a sharp composite that reflects both the present day electronica/house/hip-hop sector of flashing lights, street life and constant movement, along with the long-inherited Indian flavor of heavy sitars, vibrant tablas and hypnotizing voices.

Learn How To Download Free TV Shows and Movies Online
Do you want to know where and how to watch online movies? Does your PC have a high speed Internet connection such as a cable modem or DSL? If it does then you are well on your way to watching movies online, including new released movies online, classic movies online and all of the rest of your favorite films. Don't laugh, but I'm a big western's fan and I watch western movies free online as much as I can. In fact, if I did not have a job I would watch movies online all day long. Did I forget to mention that these are full length movies, not just free movie trailer downloads.
Not only will I tell how you can watch all of the new released movies online you want, but I am also going to tell you where to find this awesome site that let's you download unlimited free TV shows and movies online while you are watching free online movie streams. But, hold on a minute, because along with all of your free movie downloads and free TV show downloads, you can also download free games, anime, software, ringtones, wallpaper and more.
Do you find yourself renting a lot of movies? Whenever the new released movies hit the theaters, many people find themselves sitting in front of the big screen with a tub of popcorn in their lap and a boat load of money gone from their wallet. The prices we pay to watch a new release blockbuster has gotten out of hand (or is that out of wallet). The Hollywood film industry is an enormous business and the movie producers are more than willing to gamble millions of dollars making movies because they know that movie lovers like ourselves are willing to cough up their hard earned money to go the movie theater and watch their film. If we don't fork over our cash at the movie theater the movie moguls have a back-up plan. Can you say DVD?
Video palaces like Blockbuster are only too happy to help us spend the money that we tried saving by not going to the movie theater. Can't get to your local video store to rent or buy new released DVD's? No problem, the movie industry has that covered too. Blockbuster and Netflix will mail them right to your mailbox. It used to be cheap to enjoy a good movie, but no more. Well, I for one have had it. Sometime during the last two Presidential terms a recession has invaded our economy and it is only getting more expensive to live.
Understandably, we have to cut back during these bleak times, but we still need some entertainment or we will all go mad! Joining an unlimited free movie downloads membership is how you can save a bunch of money and watch all of the movies you want, whenever you want. By joining a free online movies membership you can watch the latest movies online for next to nothing. If you do what I do you can even build yourself a massive movie library that will be the envy of your neighborhood. Whenever I enjoy watching a movie online, I either burn it to a DVD or copy it to CD. I now have a library of over 60 movie titles. They are not a bunch of B rated movies like you would expect for free movie downloads. These are mostly all blockbusters like "Braveheart", "Gladiator", "Shawshank Redemption", "The Green Mile", "The Harry Potter Movie Series" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" to name just a few great movies that I first watched online. I also enjoy watching TV movies online as well as the TV series and just like the online movies I watch and then copy afterwards, I do the same with the TV shows I like. I now have a couple of seasons of "24" plus "Lost" and "Heroes" (my favorite). Keep reading and learn how I do it.
So how you can save money and watch movies online 24/7, plus build yourself a massive movie library that will make your friends jealous? The first thing you want to do is find a reputable unlimited free movie downloads review site. They review all of the different sites that offer free downloadable movies and recommend the very best ones. There are a lot of scam sites that say you can watch movies online for free but when the smoke clears you end up paying a lot of money or are downloading someone's backyard quality videos. I will leave you a link for a good movie review site in the resource box below.
Next, I am going to tell you how to find an unlimited free movie downloads site that has "Value". All of the really good unlimited free movie downloads sites charge a one time only membership fee you need to join prior to getting all of your free movie downloads. These one time membership fee's only cost between $35 and $50 and before you begin running around the room yelling "I knew it, it's a Scam! It's a Scam!" allow me to explain to you exactly what the membership fee is all about and how it benefits you in your quest to download free online movies.
When you join a membership to download free online movies, the first place you will enter is called the members area. A good members area should have everything you will require to watch movies online, download free movies and copy or burn movies to CD's and/or DVD's. There should plenty of easy to understand step-by-step tutorials, manuals and/or videos to show you how to download free online movies. In addition to gaining access to all of your unlimited free movie downloads, the members area is where you will also gain access to the databases for free TV show downloads, free software downloads, free music and music video downloads as well as free ringtones, wallpaper, eBooks, game cheats, music lyrics and more. It costs money to keep the members area up to date with the latest movies, music, games and more, not to mention giving you around the clock technical support in case you run into any problems.
Finally, it can get very expensive to keep a website going online. When I began my website it cost me $15 in hosting fees per month. As my site grew in popularity and my traffic increased, so did my hosting fees, and a year later my site costs me over $200 per month. If my site costs that much to host, I can only imagine what an unlimited free movie downloads site costs with the amount of traffic they receive on a daily basis.
I told you all of this rather boring stuff so you could understand why there is a membership fee. The world would indeed be a nicer place if people we didn't even know were willing to spend all of that money so we could download free online movies, TV shows and more. As it is, look at the value we are getting. Remember my personal library of 60 movies? If you wanted to build a similar sized library of Hollywood blockbuster films, it would cost you roughly $1200 to purchase them at your local video store.
By joining an unlimited free movie downloads site, for less than $50 you not only get to download free online movies, one of my favorite free movie download sites lets you watch online movies while you are waiting for your downloads. If you break it down, my library of 60 crystal clear DVD quality movies cost me less than $0.90 per movie, and that is not including my free TV show downloads, free games, software, music, music video's plus everything else I have downloaded for my personal use. Here is the best part. I can continue downloading free online movies, TV shows and the rest for a lifetime with absolutely no more fees. Talk about value and these sites are completely adware and spyware free. We were just talking about my movie collection, but this can be your collection of free online movies that we are talking about. You can gain immediate access to all the free online movies you desire today! See you at the movies!

The duration from where the history of movies started was about more than hundred years, and from then the movie industry has gone through a lot of developments and changes. The very first production, in 1895, was an era of silent movies which continued for almost thirty years. However, in 1920, the movie personnel with a lot of effort could handle to coordinate the sound and the picture together, and this was the beginning of a new world of movies. Since 1980’s the movie watching has taken a huge leap and today it’s the major entertainment business in the international market. Actually the movies were born in late 1800’s with a lot of innovations in line. In the year 1878, a lot of images of a horse was clicked in speedy action using a sequence of cameras which proved to be successful to create a first motion picture. William Kennedy, the first person to develop a celluloid strip which comprised a series of pictures and this finally grew to a film of the new era! The film projector was introduced in the year 1895 that helped the audience to watch these motion pictures. Within no time the movie industry hit the market and became quite well-known that proved to create a great positive impact on the entertainment business, after which by 1900’s, the silent movies had started to diminish and now its almost no more in the present scenario. The most popular film makers like the American, Italian, the French and the English have left a mark by their remarkable performance during the historical times. Initially, small and very few selective venues were chosen to show-case the films, but shortly as the craze among the people to watch movies increased they started to show it on larger panel like the olden traditional and tent theatres which enabled a lot of people to watch the film at a same time under one roof. The ocular and the graphics was introduced by France during the innovative and the experimental period that was discovered in the initial period.

Learn How To Download Free TV Shows and Movies Onlin
Do you want to know where and how to watch online movies? Does your PC have a high speed Internet connection such as a cable modem or DSL? If it does then you are well on your way to watching movies online, including new released movies online, classic movies online and all of the rest of your favorite films. Don't laugh, but I'm a big western's fan and I watch western movies free online as much as I can. In fact, if I did not have a job I would watch movies online all day long. Did I forget to mention that these are full length movies, not just free movie trailer downloads.
Not only will I tell how you can watch all of the new released movies online you want, but I am also going to tell you where to find this awesome site that let's you download unlimited free TV shows and movies online while you are watching free online movie streams. But, hold on a minute, because along with all of your free movie downloads and free TV show downloads, you can also download free games, anime, software, ringtones, wallpaper and more.
Do you find yourself renting a lot of movies? Whenever the new released movies hit the theaters, many people find themselves sitting in front of the big screen with a tub of popcorn in their lap and a boat load of money gone from their wallet. The prices we pay to watch a new release blockbuster has gotten out of hand (or is that out of wallet). The Hollywood film industry is an enormous business and the movie producers are more than willing to gamble millions of dollars making movies because they know that movie lovers like ourselves are willing to cough up their hard earned money to go the movie theater and watch their film. If we don't fork over our cash at the movie theater the movie moguls have a back-up plan. Can you say DVD?
Video palaces like Blockbuster are only too happy to help us spend the money that we tried saving by not going to the movie theater. Can't get to your local video store to rent or buy new released DVD's? No problem, the movie industry has that covered too. Blockbuster and Netflix will mail them right to your mailbox. It used to be cheap to enjoy a good movie, but no more. Well, I for one have had it. Sometime during the last two Presidential terms a recession has invaded our economy and it is only getting more expensive to live.
Understandably, we have to cut back during these bleak times, but we still need some entertainment or we will all go mad! Joining an unlimited free movie downloads membership is how you can save a bunch of money and watch all of the movies you want, whenever you want. By joining a free online movies membership you can watch the latest movies online for next to nothing. If you do what I do you can even build yourself a massive movie library that will be the envy of your neighborhood. Whenever I enjoy watching a movie online, I either burn it to a DVD or copy it to CD. I now have a library of over 60 movie titles. They are not a bunch of B rated movies like you would expect for free movie downloads. These are mostly all blockbusters like "Braveheart", "Gladiator", "Shawshank Redemption", "The Green Mile", "The Harry Potter Movie Series" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" to name just a few great movies that I first watched online. I also enjoy watching TV movies online as well as the TV series and just like the online movies I watch and then copy afterwards, I do the same with the TV shows I like. I now have a couple of seasons of "24" plus "Lost" and "Heroes" (my favorite). Keep reading and learn how I do it.
So how you can save money and watch movies online 24/7, plus build yourself a massive movie library that will make your friends jealous? The first thing you want to do is find a reputable unlimited free movie downloads review site. They review all of the different sites that offer free downloadable movies and recommend the very best ones. There are a lot of scam sites that say you can watch movies online for free but when the smoke clears you end up paying a lot of money or are downloading someone's backyard quality videos. I will leave you a link for a good movie review site in the resource box below.
Next, I am going to tell you how to find an unlimited free movie downloads site that has "Value". All of the really good unlimited free movie downloads sites charge a one time only membership fee you need to join prior to getting all of your free movie downloads. These one time membership fee's only cost between $35 and $50 and before you begin running around the room yelling "I knew it, it's a Scam! It's a Scam!" allow me to explain to you exactly what the membership fee is all about and how it benefits you in your quest to download free online movies.
When you join a membership to download free online movies, the first place you will enter is called the members area. A good members area should have everything you will require to watch movies online, download free movies and copy or burn movies to CD's and/or DVD's. There should plenty of easy to understand step-by-step tutorials, manuals and/or videos to show you how to download free online movies. In addition to gaining access to all of your unlimited free movie downloads, the members area is where you will also gain access to the databases for free TV show downloads, free software downloads, free music and music video downloads as well as free ringtones, wallpaper, eBooks, game cheats, music lyrics and more. It costs money to keep the members area up to date with the latest movies, music, games and more, not to mention giving you around the clock technical support in case you run into any problems.
Finally, it can get very expensive to keep a website going online. When I began my website it cost me $15 in hosting fees per month. As my site grew in popularity and my traffic increased, so did my hosting fees, and a year later my site costs me over $200 per month. If my site costs that much to host, I can only imagine what an unlimited free movie downloads site costs with the amount of traffic they receive on a daily basis.
I told you all of this rather boring stuff so you could understand why there is a membership fee. The world would indeed be a nicer place if people we didn't even know were willing to spend all of that money so we could download free online movies, TV shows and more. As it is, look at the value we are getting. Remember my personal library of 60 movies? If you wanted to build a similar sized library of Hollywood blockbuster films, it would cost you roughly $1200 to purchase them at your local video store.
By joining an unlimited free movie downloads site, for less than $50 you not only get to download free online movies, one of my favorite free movie download sites lets you watch online movies while you are waiting for your downloads. If you break it down, my library of 60 crystal clear DVD quality movies cost me less than $0.90 per movie, and that is not including my free TV show downloads, free games, software, music, music video's plus everything else I have downloaded for my personal use. Here is the best part. I can continue downloading free online movies, TV shows and the rest for a lifetime with absolutely no more fees. Talk about value and these sites are completely adware and spyware free. We were just talking about my movie collection, but this can be your collection of free online movies that we are talking about. You can gain immediate access to all the free online movies you desire today! See you at the movies!

Free on Line Movies: Are P2P Legal or Bootleg Movies?
When you download free on line movies, are you downloading P2P legal or bootleg movies? The answer to that question isn't as easy to answer as you might believe, since it digs into the murky depths of copyright law, and in the USA at least the term 'murky' barely covers it.
Let's get one or two facts right first, so we all know where we are starting from in this discussion. P2P, peer to peer, file sharing or network software, whatever you want to call it, is not illegal.
Although it is illegal to own Kazaa in Australia, the Supreme Court in the Netherlands ruled that Kazaa was not illegal because it was the way the software was used that was illegal, not the software itself. A similar judgment was given by a federal court judge in Los Angeles, who ruled that peer-to-peer firms Morpheus and Grokster were not responsible for infringements of copyright made using their software.
Hence, P2P legal software can be used to download free on line movies, as long as these movies are not protected by copyright. Some have pointed to Napster's demise in their original form as evidence that software is illegal, but those that do have missed the point entirely. There is a fundamental difference between Napster and the other P2P sites. The reason Napster was closed down, and had to be resurrected in a more normal format, was its central server.
To understand that you have to understand how peer to peer software works, and the difference between P2P legal downloads and bootleg movies. When a member of a P2P service downloads a movie or a music track, they do so from the hard disk of another member who is currently online. If you are searching for a particular movie, you will be given a list of those available and normally how many online computers have that movie on their hard disk.
When you download, you could be downloading packets from several hard disks simultaneously to speed up the process. Napster used a central server as a hub between the provider and the receiver of the file, every download passing through the server. Because of that, Napster was deemed legally responsible for every download made, since they in effect passed the illegal files on to their customers.
Current free on line movies are downloaded directly from the provider's hard disk, with no central hub. The download is a direct link between you and the computers that are collectively providing the download. It is purely software driven, so that the merchants of that software cannot be liable for the way it is used.
That is what annoyed the movie and music companies so much, because they thought they had the problem cracked when they successfully prosecuted Napster. But they were wrong, and suddenly found that they had to pursue each of the millions of users that were illegally using the software as opposed to the relatively simple task of tackling the software providers.
So when is downloading legal and illegal? What is the difference between a PSP legal free download and a bootleg movie? It's a simple answer, but not so simple to follow. Basically, any work that is still protected by copyright law cannot be legally copied or downloaded without the owner's consent. You can be practically certain that all online music and most movies and games are protected by copyright unless the owners are permitting them to be downloaded.
Many do allow it. Particularly young artists wanting their names known, or wanting to test a new game or advertise a new album by releasing a copyright-free track for online distribution. Most don't, and if you try to understand the copyright law, particularly in the USA, it is very murky indeed. It's fairly simple with movies in the UK: music tracks are copyrighted for 50 years after it is generated, and movies for 80 years after the death of the last major director, author or composer.
In the USA the situation has been complicated by the Sony Bono Law, and it seems that no music is now free of copyright, and movies will covered for at least another 30 or 40 years, though some made before 1923 might be in the public domain. As I said - complicated.
Here, therefore, are a few tips on how to ensure P2P legal downloads of free on line movies and avoid bootleg movies:
1. Don't download anything from a P2P site unless you know that it is definitely copyright-free.
2. If you have a specific need for a particular movie, then rent it using an online rental service such as Love Films or Blockbuster.
3. Alternatively, if you like movies and are liable to want to download a lot, take a membership with a 100% legal download site. There are sites online that allow downloads of licensed titles for a monthly or annual membership fee. One even offers a 2-year membership with unlimited downloads. That sort of deal is very attractive, since why take the chance of a $150,000 fine if you can get what you want for a measly $40 every two years? That's less than $1.70 a month!
4. If something is completely free you can be sure it is also likely a bootleg movie, and therefore illegal. Unless it is monetized by adverts, no site can make money by giving away legal movies free of charge. The same is true of music. The reason for that is these movies and music tracks have to paid for by whoever is promoting them, so why give them away having paid for them? They must be illegal!
To sum up, then, it is possible to get free on line movies by paying a one-time membership fee for unlimited downloads. OK, they are not free, but two downloads a week would mean they cost only 19 cents a movie. Is that cheap? Bootleg movies will cost just the same, but you have the added complication of perhaps being caught. This is unlikely, given the untold millions that use P2P sites, but why take the chance if it isn't necessary?

TV And Video Games Have Destroyed Our Children's Musical Potential
Saturday, 09 May 2009
Does TV rot your brain? Unless you believe the Hulu commercials, no, TV doesn't rot your brains, but does it dumb you down and destroy your potential as a human being? I think you could probably make an argument for that, but hey why should I wait for you. I'll go ahead and make an argument for it. And why stop at TV? Let's toss in video games as well. So, am I just out to rant today? Actually no. I'm not really into ranting much and I don't really have anything against TV and video games in general, but I was thinking about how human society, especially American society, doesn't seem to produce childhood prodigies any more. Consider a few of the more well known musical prodigies: • Franz Liszt: Performing major concerts at the age of 11 • Samuel Barber: Attempted to write an opera at the age of 10 • Felix Mendelssohn: making public concert appearances at 9 • Frederic Chopin: Writing polonaises and performing concerts at the age of 7. • Wolfgang Mozart: started playing the harpsichord at 3 and started composing at age 5 These people and many others had done more in their musical lives by the age of 18 than most of us will do in our entire lives...and these are just the musical prodigies. The Not So Good Old Days: As you think about these people, consider the world they lived in. The infant mortality rate was high. Medicine was in...well...the dark ages. Travel was very slow. Information was not readily available to people. And not many people had the access to the tools needed to facilitate a child prodigy. In music, for example, you didn't find a piano (or harpsichord) in every house or even most houses. Many children worked either in their home or at a job. Despite all these disadvantages the world was still producing prodigies. I would imagine that there were plenty of child prodigy potentials that never reached their potential due to the difficulties of life. Living In The Land Of Plenty: Today, much of the world, especially the USA, is a very different place to live. No children have a job and most don't even have many chores to do at home. So, kids have time. Music and musical instruments are widely available and most families have some musical instrument in their home. So, kids have access to instruments and musical accessories. Education about music is widely available either formally (schools and conservatories) or casually in private lessons, by video, or over the internet. So, kids have access to information and education. The speed of travel has increased to the point that we can be just about anywhere on earth within a day. So, children are able to access opportunities no matter where they happen to be. How is it with all this time, all this stuff, and all this information that we aren't producing more child prodigies than ever? Distraction - Escape - Laziness With all this opportunity, our children spend so much of their time vegging out in front of a TV or working up blisters on their thumbs playing video games. Hours and hours each week that could be spent learning and developing skills and knowledge are wasted away at activities with no real purpose or benefit. I can't give myself a pass either. While growing up, I spent hours watching TV and was lucky if I got in more than two hours of piano practice in a week. It wasn't for lack of opportunity. The piano was all of 10 feet away in the living room and there was plenty of sheet music in our house. I was just lazy. Can We Turn It Around? From what I've seen, I was par for the course. Most children don't do much to develop themselves outside of school. Then again, most parents don't push their children to grow either. Maybe as parents we're too caught up in the idea that we want our children to "have a childhood" or we don't want to push too hard because they may not like it or they may fail. I've found in my life that most of the things I've enjoyed most took a lot of effort to achieve and the pressure of failure is what caused me to grow and to succeed. So, I challenge you kids and parents. Turn off the TVs and video games and start doing something productive. Parents, don't be afraid to push your children. It's ok if they fail, we all do, but help them learn from the failures and teach them to continue on until they succeed. One day they will thank you...and you will be thankful as well both because your children are successful and because they don't live your basement. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |

Digital Camera Guide: Choosing the Best Digital Camera
Sunday, 17 May 2009
So, you're looking for a digital camera, but you don't know what to get, right? Worry not because here's a very extensive guide on digital cameras and what you should consider on choosing the best digital camera for you! Sensor resolution: Choose a digital camera with a sensor resolution between 4 and 8. Sensor resolutions are responsible of the picture cells (or pixels) that the photo creates. As a rule, the higher the sensor resolution is on a camera, the more you are able blow up the picture without sacrificing its quality. So, if you will not be producing larger sizes of your pictures, you can simply do away with a digital camera that has about 6 megapixels of sensor resolution. Optical sensors: Choose a digital camera with the complimentary oxide semi conductor (CMOS) type of optical sensor over one that features a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor. Although the latter is more popularly used by people today, the former is designed with an energy saving feature. Face-detection technology: Make sure that your digital camera is equipped with a face-detection technology that can automatically recognize faces of persons and focus on them. Shooting modes: Choose a digital camera that is designed with different shooting modes you can choose from depending on the subject you are taking. The common modes available to some digital cameras are macro mode (for close-up shots of objects), continuous mode (for moving subjects), and manual mode (for more creative shots). Make sure your digital camera has all these 3 shooting modes that will give you flexibility and diversity of shots. Video capture: Opt for a digital camera that allows video capture or recording, so that not only can you take still images, but you are also able to record videos and short films. Screen size: Choose a digital camera with a screen size that is large enough for you to view pictures clearly. Digital cameras come in a wide variety of screen dimensions, with diagonal measures ranging from 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches. As a rule, the larger the screen, the more you can center the picture and the clearer you can view it. Style: Depending on your preference, you can either choose a digital camera that is slim and stylish or one that is quite big and bulky. Slim digital cameras are designed for portability and fashion. They are fitting to keep and bring with you because they do not take up so much space. Bulky digital cameras, on the other hand, might be a little inconvenient to carry, but they are often designed with complete features. So when it comes to the style and the appearance of your digital camera, you are on your own choice now. So, are you ready now to get yourself a brand new digital camera? With this digital camera guideline, you won't think twice about heading to Apple retail stores near you and find the best digital camera that will suit all your imaging needs!

Monsters vs. Aliens
The story begins when California girl, Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon), is hit by a meteor on the day of her wedding to weatherman Derek Dietl (Paul Rudd). She absorbs a substance called quantonium and begins growing into a giant. Alerted to the meteor crash, the military arrives and captures Susan. Labeled as a monster, Susan is renamed "Ginormica", and sent to a top-secret prison facility headed by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland). At top-secret prison facility, Susan finds that there are other monsters:
B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), or Bicarbonate Ostylezene Benzoate, captured in 1958 and created spontaneously after a genetically altered tomato and ranch-flavored dessert topping were accidentally mixed, he is a brainless, indestructible gelatinous mass;
Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), captured in 1952 when his transportation device backfired and he ended up with a head of a cockroach and plans for world domination from a maniacal genius, he is the greatest mind on the planet protected by a indestructible exoskeleton;
The Missing Link (Will Arnett), captured in 1961 after being thawed out by scientists 20,000 years after the Ice Age, is a strong, agile amphibious fish-ape hybrid with a weakness for the ladies;
and, Insectosaurus (Conrad Vernon), captured in 1969 after being transformed by radiation from a one-inch grub to a 300 foot monster with a taste for Japanese cities, has the ability to shoot silk out of his nostrils.
The monsters are forbidden to have any contact with the outside world. But, unlike the other monsters, content with the lifestyle that they've been living for the past 50 years, Susan feels incredibly isolated and wishes to return to her old life.
But things start to get a little livelier, when an alien by the name of Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson) detects the quantonium radiation emanating from Earth, and deploys a gigantic miner robotic probe to find it and extract it from its source. The source just happens to be Susan. After a failed attempt by President Hathaway (Stephen Colbert) to make first contact with the robot, it begins destroying everything in sight, able to withstand all conventional military force used against it. General Monger convinces the President to use the monsters, B.O.B., Dr. Cockroach, The Missing Link and Susan, to fight the robot instead. The monsters accept the mission with the promise of freedom if they succeed.
Will the monsters be able to stop the aliens from destroying everything, as well as keep Susan out of harms way? And, will they finally gain freedom and acceptance?
