Group progress report 1

Our group is composed of four members. As of now, we split the work up, and each of us have an assigned,specific role. Our project topic is centered around the idea of movies. Joselin Santos has been assigned the role of doing research on how movies are easily copyrighted. Sajni Bhakta has the role of searching how easily it is to illegally download movies. Lissania Alarcon has the work of conducting research on what is the process and consequences of illegally downloading movies. Last but not least, Ana Villasana has the role of searching up on how movies get leaked online first.

Specific research that we will be doing is using articles and journals that relate to our topic. One article we found was about Copyright Laws for Movies, and it talks about what copyright is, what triggers copyright protection, how if a movie is produced, it gets leaked right away. It also talks about authorization, and if you want to state that your work is your own without anyone getting it, then you have to claim it’s yours. It gives a lot of information like the consequences you will face if you copyright someone else’s work and if you get caught, you can be fined with about $150,000. It also explains to us the laws, and expectations, what pirating is and what it does, and fan fiction, and stealing other people’s work is not right or fair because they worked hard to produce or make it. They also talk about how they prevent copyrighting and protect the owners work. The legal boundaries of how much work can actually be considered fair to use.

Sources we will be anticipating to use are the UHD database web site, the library’s web site, and basically anything interesting we can find online that relates to our topic. For example, we will be using educational web sites so we can have factual information like iseek.com, google book search, and google scholar.We hope to use educational web sites because those are the sites that will give us factual information and more details we can use to put together our project.
