Q: What is the role of Ofcom?
A: Ofcom is the government regulatory authority that regulates a number of different telecommunication industries in the UK. Some of the main areas Ofcom presides over are licensing, research, codes and policies, complaints and competition. Ofcom has a policy to undertake many consultation processes.
Q: How do you think downloading TV programs and Films for free have effected the TV and film industries?
A: Obviously, if there is a large amount of people downloading TV programs and films that are not legal then these industries will be directly effected.

My Illegal And Very Naughty Music Download
1. What is the role of the copyright and trademarks act(2002)?
2. What is the role of Ofcom?
Ofcom is the communications regulator. We regulate the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms and mobiles, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate.
3.How do you think downloading TV programs and films for free have affected TV and film industries? find facts to back your case.
if people dont buy the films distributed by the industries it means they dont get the money to fund their movies and won't be able to make more movies for us. also actors won't get paid and won't act in films or tv shows and then they will go bankrupt and nobody will ever get to watch a film again :) and the end. dont do it.
4.Do you agree with the new copyright download proposal set out by Ofcom? Why?
no, people will still find a way to download music so it wont make that much difference
This Act amends the criminal provisions in intellectual property law, more specifically the law relating to copyright, rights in performances, fraudulent reception of conditional access transmissions by use of unauthorised decoders and trade marks. The Act brings about some rationalisation of these criminal provisions by removing some of the differences. The three areas in which rationalisation is provided by the Act are maximum penalties for certain offences in intellectual property law, police search and seizure powers relating to offences and court orders on forfeiture of illegal material that may have been seized during investigation of offences. The Act does not make any changes to the scope of criminal offences in intellectual property law so that the type of behaviour that can give rise to an offence remains the same.

Although i agree with the principal behind the new proposal i believe that people will always find ways around the law and this will encourage a new way to brake it.

Illegal Downlading - Censorship and Regualtion
What is the role of the 2002 Copyright and Tradesmark Act?
The role of this act is the current protection of copyrighted material. This means that the creators works is 'supposedly' protected against anyone claiming at their own. Copyright is a type of ownership. This Act should effectively protect the creators work against illegal download and distribution, however this frequently does not happen.
What is the role of Ofcom?
The role of Ofcom is the communications regulator. They regulate the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms and mobiles, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. In the future they may be in charge of detecting and regulating illegal downloads.
How has downloading TV programmes and Films for free affected TV and Film industries?
This has affected these industries very negatively as they do not get the money or market they should for the creations. This means that they may not get the credit that they deserve, and therefore they don't make the money that the should be making.
Do you agree in the new copyright law proposal on downloading set out by Ofcom? why?
No we do not really agree with this because so many people take part in downloading for their own personal use which we believe should be legal. The limit of three times in a year is way to low considering the amount people download and we think that this could cause a lot of hassle from the people who listen to music and watch TV and Films online and also for the ISP's that will have to check though their customers' internet usage. We also think that if the ISP's are being made to monitor our download history then this is an invasion of privacy and isn't this an Act in its self?

Copyright
What is the role of the copyright and trademarks act?
they regulate all types of media, including television and films.
what is the role of Ofcom?
ofcom are an "independant regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries"
they will be monitoring the use of illegal downloads and enforcing consequences for those people.
How do you think downloading tv programmes and films for free have effected the tv and film industries?
the money that would be spent on buying the films, or the television episodes in shops, is then not being spent because the downloading is free. the industries are then losing out on money.
do you agree with the new copyright proposal on downloading set out by ofcom? why?
i dont agree that this is a good system to enforce, because the people that only download for personal use shouldnt be punished. those that plan on distributing their illegal downloads and recieving a profit for it should be caught and fined.

Illegal downloads
We partially agree with this statement, because although this infringes the reproduction act it is more sensible to download a TV show for your own use because it's socially acceptable and widely done. You're not intending on making any profit on it or for public use.
We do not agree with this statement as you are abusing and undermining the company which produced the program. Making money from something which is an unoriginal concept and that has been pre-made is immoral and unacceptable. This brakes the infringement and distribution laws regarding media companies passed in 1998.
Illegal Downloading
Question : Downloading a particular TV show for personal use is ok?
Answer: We think that this is acceptable because it is only for personal use, so your not making any money of it and TV is free anyways. Channels have also introduced websites such as 4OD and BBC iplayer for this purpose already. However, this is still illegal so should not be done, although we do not see a problem with it and think that it should be made legal if it is only for personal use and not distribution and selling.
Question: Is it ok if i download TV programme, watch it then give it to my friend in exchange for money?
Answer: We believe that this is not ok because the person downloading it is distributing the TV programme and earning money from it when they do not own the copyright to do this. The money for the programme should go to the original creator.

Illegal downloads.
Whether your downloading tv shows illegally depends on a few factors such as -
- The source of the file.
- Copyright status.
- The country you live in.
- If your uploading the content.
In the U.S. the copyright law allows a person to 'duplicate' or 'share' copyrighted material for casual use within limited circumstances.
e.g purchasing a book, letting your neighbor read it when you're through,
copying tracks off your legally purchased cd's to make person compilations,
making a 'hard copy' of your favourite program as it is broadcast to your telivision.
It isn't legal for re-distribution or sale of copyright materials.

Illegal Downloads
Q: Downloading a particular T.V show for personal use is okay.
A: It is not okay in the eyes of the law because of the digital millennium copyright act. However it is so common and almost socially acceptable that it doesn't seem a big problem. Many people use streaming websites which does not involve the actual download, people think that it is okay to do this because they believe that it is the person who originally uploaded the video that gets into trouble.

"Downloading a particular TV show for personal use is Ok"
We believe that it is acceptable to download the TV show as long as it is only for personal use and the user is not distributing the downloaded content to the public and also is not exporting the content for own personal financial gain. Also under the Copyright Act of 1988 it is not illegal to download media for your own use.
What is the role of the Copyright and Trade Marks Act (2002)?

- Downloading a particular TV show for personal use is ok.
I think that downloading a TV programme for personal use is ok, this is illegal, although because of its simplicity it doesn't seem as though your commiting a crime. however this is an ongoing problem, as the industries will be plumiting due to the money that is now not being spent on the music.

online film review of the kings speech
to what extent would you say that online film reviews are postmodern?
refer to the following:
1. are online reviews intertextual or bricolage? why?
2. how does the reviews relate to baudrillards theory of simulacar?
3.was this a positive or negative review?
overall the review was very positive and they looked at it from lots of different views which gave you the sense that they new what they were
4.how much of the reviews are reliable? in other words how much of you view of reality is based on these simulacra?
POSTOMODERNISM
To what extent would you say that online film reviews are postmodernist
Inception: Time Out Magazine.
1) the review is intertextual because the review only refers to to one other text (the film) and doesn't develop a new form of media.
2) Baudrillard theory states that a media text reflects reality in its content. Although the film review is positive, it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone would watch it as people know that films and other arts can only be experienced and judged by the individual and are a matter of a opinion.
3) The film Inception receives a positive review from the author Dave Calhoun of timeout.com. He comments about the number of special effects and stunts used by Christopher Nolan. When thinking about watching a film, I do not consider reading film reviews. If I had previously read either a positive or negative review then it would not have any bearing on whether I went to watch the film or not.
4) whether a review is reliable is in itself, a matter of opinion. The source of the review has a large influence on how we process it. If we read a review in 'The Sun' most people will take it on a different level to that of a review in 'The Guardian'. This, therefore, effects whether or not we will go and see the movie depending on our association of the review and its perceived reliability.

3.Was this a positive or negative review?
4.How reliable are the reviews?Would you go to see a film based on its review?
The film review i have chosen to look at is about the recently released film '127 Hours' produced by Danny Boyle and tell the amazing story about survival. The review I'm looking at is written by film critic Phillip French of the newspaper The Guardian.
Film reviews are inter textual within themselves as if there is no film then there is nothing to relate the review to. The reviews generally relate to the theory of Baudrillard as this film has received rave reviews and also has the top ratings and high viewings that intertwine with this.

Postmodernism: Online Film Reviews
'To what extent would you say that online film reviews are postmodern?'
Are online reviews intertextual or bricolage? how?
We believe that online film reviews are intertextual rather than bricolage as they are analysing more than one media, like films and books as well as being a media type themselves. They are not combining many media types to create a collage and new meaning from this combination. The online film reviews are using films, a different media text, to add a new layer of meaning.
How do the reviews relate to Baudrillards theory of Simulacra?
Film reviews are not originals because they refer frequently to films which are copies of copies. E.g Batman begins is a copy of the original Batman films which are not even original themselves as they are copied from the cartoons. Therefore film reviews relate to Baudrillards theory of conveyed reality.
Are these reviews positive or negative?
The Da Vinchci Code - Mainly negative- Review from the Guardian made a lot of positive comments about the book, however towards the end of the review, after a synopsis of the film, the reviewer was very critical about the film, a quote to support this would be : 'The Da Vinci Code is a gloomy, murky, solemn picture. The stylised, monochrome flashbacks to the Emperor Constantine's Rome, the Crusades and the Inquisition look like the work of film school students, and their ineptness serves to raise doubts about their authenticity.'
Wallace and Gromit- Mainly positive- Review from Rotten Tomatoes had many positive aspects and was barely critical at all. It said that the quality of the film was excellent and that it was well made. The only negative comment made was that it could have been made in CGI rather than stop-motion. A quote to support this positivity is: 'The quality of the animation in Steve Box and Nick Park’s feature-length cartoon is so slick and smooth that you’d be forgiven for thinking it was just another computer-animated job. It isn’t. '
Snatch- Very negative-Review from the BBC was harsh and critical of the film snatch and how the it was similar to another film in many ways (lock, stock and two smoking barrels). The reviewer also states that the film lacks laughs, is uninteresting and has unnecessary characters. A quote to sum up this negative review is: 'don't believe the film-makers' hype that "Snatch" is 'completely different' to "Lock, Stock". It isn't.' and 'Unfortunately, that whole is patchy, crippled by a lack of laughs, too many uninteresting and therefore unnecessary characters and dialogue which now seems plain cheesy.'
How much of the reviews are reliable? Would you see a film based on its review? Why?
We feel that most of these reviews are reliable, apart from the one from the BBC where the reviewer gave it 2 out of five stars and the viewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars. We would want to watch a film if it had a review from a fellow viewer opposed to a critic because the reviews from critics are very in depth and negative and not necessarily from a typical viewers perspective. We would only read reviews if we wanted to see a good in depth film at the cinema, for example, not just for light entertainment.

Media in the online age.
to what extent would you say online film reviews are postmodern?
online reviews are intertextual. They often refer to other films made by the same director for example 127 hours review refers to Danny Boyles previous work such as slum dog millionaire. This is also the case with actors for example James Franco was a key box office draw, who appealed to fans of previous movies he starred.

Post modernism
To what extent would you say that online film reviews are post modern?
Online reviews are intertextual in the way that the internet is used in conjuction with another media text(films) to analyse and review the films for audience. The film review either persuades or opposes you to want to watch a certain film, so they can be either positive or negative but the interxtuality comes from the need of a film to be released to therefore carry out an online review on it.
Baudrillards theory of Simulacra refers to online reviews in the perspective that we read what's written about the film, before we see it and therefore affecting our thoughts and opinions on the film. So the review of a film becomes our basis and even though we may not solemly agree with it, our mind is then made up based on what we'eve read about the film.
Film reviews can be reliable to an extent, but they are mostly opinions and could be misleading. We would go see a film based on the review, if they left you curious in terms of the plot and the storyline seemed interesting.

"To what extent would you say online film reviews are postmodern?"
Online reviews are generally intertextual. They often refer to other films, either to refer to related films (e.g- franchises) or to refer to other films by the same actor or director. This may be due to films now a days being largely based on existing products, since high profile producers do not take risks and instead opt to put out work that is reliably"mainstream".
This fits into baudrillard theory of simularca, because the reviews refer to other texts, and therefore are not completely original in their conception, as they are copy's of what the reviewer has seen. The films themselves are not totally original either, as they take inspiration from other texts (eg- Batman Begins was almost completely based on the comics).
In terms of hyperreality, Baudrillird would suggest that if we read a review of a film, then our perception of that film is based and influenced by that review. This i believe is incorrect, since people are aware that a review is simply someones opinion, and even if they are industry professionals, ones personal taste can always be a huge influence. The reliability of the reviews depends on the outlet of the media text, since generally more professional outlet can be relied upon to be more informative and reliable.
