Ok so for this blog I was going to do something totally random but you guys basically walked right into what I wanted to do. We all love YouTube and use it all the time. This has been evident with us so far as a class. As I was reading on the other blogs there has been some controversy as to the usage of You Tube. Copyright laws have been infringed upon in areas like music, video, etc. As we discussed in class You Tube has come up with an ingenious solution to combat the royalty problems.
If you go online and post something that has an artist’s song for example, the website will install a pop up on the video for iTunes to purchase the song. While I believe it is important for artist’s to look out for their own interests I believe it can be overdone. Videos created by fans of a product can prove beneficial to sales.
Take me and my brother for example. We are huge videogame enthusiast. When we are curious about a videogame the first place we go for information is You Tube. Many fans who have already played the game give helpful tips, walk throughs, and much more. It is also cool to see the original videos posted that bring the game to life in a way that simply trying it out can never do.
Here is one of my favorite videogames called shadow of the colossus. It is about a young man who breaks the law by stealing a forbidden sword. He ventures onto unholy ground at the bidding of a malicious spirit that supposedly has the power to bring the dead to life (the dead girl who is with him; we are led to believe she was his lover). He defies the law, the clergy, and God himself in order to perform an ancient spell; having to kill dangerous beings of enormous size. It is a classic love story and I hope you guys like it.
