The 'Long Tail' Theory.

The term has gained popularity in recent times as a retailing concept describing the niche strategy of selling a large number of unique items in relatively small quantities – usually in addition to selling fewer popular items in large quantities.

The way we think and make sense of media has changed in the online age.

Illegal Download Questions

"Downloading a Particular TV Show For Personal Use Is Ok"
We believe that it is ok because you are only using it for your own enjoyment and it is not being used for distribution. Under the Copyright act of 1988 it is not illegal to download media for your own use.

"Is it ok if i download a Tv program, watch it. then give it to my friend in exchange for money"
No, because that would count as distribution, and that is highly illegal.

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.
