| Social Media | |
A recent poll conducted by yathink.tv, a blog of commentaryand video, overwhelmingly voted and voiced their opinion on the following top 3 'violations' of social networking and vow to resist the urge to do so in 2010 as part of their own New Year's Resolutions. 1. Where I am at the moment (i.e. I'm in China dining on frogs legs, I'm at the dry cleaner, etc., etc.) -- does anyone really care? 2. Daily updates of my children - their habits, development and photos. Just like George Carlin said, nobody really cares that much about my kids photos, etc. [George Carlin's "It's Bad for Ya"]-- and besides, my kids may come to resent it when they grow older and their photos can still be found online!). 3. Photos of myself or someone drunk, doing something illegal or partially clothed (bathing suit, underwear, shirtless, etc.). It was noted that this is a different category than actual art or art photography. Producers of yathink.tv find it interesting that these items also appear to be somewhat 'annoying and offensive' on life outside of 'social networks' or even outside the 'online' world (i.e. 'real life'). Your thoughts?

| Social Networking Sites & Copyright Violations Or ‘Hey Wait A Minute… That’s Mine! | |
In an age where social networking sites are blossoming like flowers in spring time, questions about how to protect yourself against copyright violations are popping up just as quickly. “Copyright infringement” (or copyright violation) is the unauthorized use of material that is covered by copyright law – in a manner that violates one of the copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works (From Wikipedia). Copyright law is very complex and ever changing. For example, some common examples of web copyright infringement are using and/or allowing the download of any music, video, software, papers or journals, photographs, graphics that you have not produced yourself or obtained permission from the author/producer to use and/or distribute. I asked expert, Paul Burani, of Clicksharp Marketing, www.clicksharpmarketing.com, about the realities & frequency of identity theft and copyright violation on social media sites and how to avoid them. Here’s some great information and advice from Paul: “High profile publishers are finally seeing copyright infringement become a major point of contention in social media discussions. The best example is Viacom, which sued Google in 2007 for $1 billion over ‘massive copyright infringement,’ claiming that users were posting copyrighted material on YouTube’s site. Some less-trafficked sites continue to operate under the radar, but there’s a general feeling that they will get whipped into shape over time. Nonetheless, for a smaller organization without the legal resources to take such legal action, a good strategy is to acknowledge that content and identity theft will always exist to some degree so it is best to simply publish content first on your own domain. Search engines are getting smarter about separating original ‘canonical’ sources of content from copies that are ‘scraped’ from the source for re-use on blogs and other social media. Once the publisher verifies that the original copy has been indexed, they can be confident that they will retain credit for their work. Bottom line: If you want to retain some control over your copyrighted material, simply publish the content first on your domain and website and be mindful that whatever you publish elsewhere runs the risk of copyright violation. Remember, only you can control what you put online. You cannot control what others do with your information.
