Some funny experiences we talk about are about her trip out here and my trip back to Iowa. We also share about the newsletter because she used to be a graphic artist and we talk about our appreciation for painters on YouTube. We are not afraid to laugh at our- selves through pictures or sharing. I always ask about her health as I am concerned about her well being.

  • The First Amendment Implications of Facebook, Myspace, and Other Online Activity of Students in Public High Schools
    THE FIRST AMENDMENT IMPLICATIONS OF FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, AND OTHER ONLINE ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS IN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS BRANDON JAMES HOOVER* I. INTRODUCTION The protections of the First Amendment are some of the most basic and fundamental rights guaranteed to all Americans. These protections, however, are not absolute. Although some surveys show that as many as sixty-nine percent of Americans are aware of the First Amendment right to freedom of speech1, it is doubtful that nearly as many Americans are aware of the limitations that have been placed on this enumerated fundamental right. For example, obscene speech2, commercial speech3, indecent speech4, speech tending to incite violence or an imminent response5, and various other forms of speech are not given full constitutional protection. In addition, the free speech rights extended to high school students in public schools are not co-extensive with the rights of adults. In 1969, the Supreme Court held, “It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.”6 However, since the decision in Tinker, the United States Supreme Court has consistently reduced students’ First Amendment free speech rights. The Court appears to have created a web of tests to determine whether high school students’ First Amendment rights have been * Judicial Clerk for the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, 21st Circuit; J.D., Ohio Northern University; B.S., Frostburg State University (Law & Society, Political Science, & Sociology).

  • Myspace & Chrysler
    Possible Supplementary Material to accompany: Even Giants Can Fall (Microsoft vs. Apple) MySpace vs. Facebook Wikipedia entry on MySpace (excerpts) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myspace] Myspace (stylized as myspace, previously stylized as MySpace) is a social networking service with a strong music emphasis owned by Specific Media LLC and Justin Timberlake. Myspace was launched in July 2003 and is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. In April 2014, Myspace had 1 million unique U.S. visitors. Myspace was founded in 2003 by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson, and was later acquired by News Corporation in July 2005 for $580 million. From 2005 until early 2008, Myspace was the most visited social networking site in the world, and in June 2006 surpassed Google as the most visited website in the United States. In April 2008, Myspace was overtaken by Facebook in the number of unique worldwide visitors, and was surpassed in the number of unique U.S. visitors in May 2009, though Myspace generated $800 million in revenue during the 2008 fiscal year. Since then, the number of Myspace users has declined steadily in spite of several redesigns. As of May 2014, Myspace was ranked 982 by total web traffic, and 392 in the United States. In June 2009, Myspace employed approximately 1,600 workers.[2][19] In June 2011, Specific Media Group and Justin Timberlake jointly purchased the company for approximately $35 million.[20] Under new ownership, the company had undergone several rounds of layoffs and by June 2011, Myspace had reduced its staff to around 200. ... suggestions for its demise, including the fact that it stuck to a "portal strategy" of building an audience around entertainment and music, whereas Facebook and Twitter continually launched new features to improve the social- networking experience.

Roybal and Kathi Sjoberg 59 STATEMENT OF THE FACTS Social networking websites such as MySpace.com™ (“MySpace”), Friendster.com™, Facebook.com™, Xanga.com™, and LiveJournal.com™ are only a few of the social websites that have made the internet both accessible and attractive to young people seeking a forum to express their views.1 The success of these sites has been tremendous: MySpace, the most popular and biggest of these sites, recently boasted over seventy-five million registered users in the United States, with hundreds of thousands of new users registering every day.2 MySpace has attracted negative publicity due to concerns that the predominantly young users3 are ignorant of the ramifications of having so much biographical information publicly available. Incidents in the national news regarding MySpace and its connections with online predators and “cyber-bullying” have many parents and educators worried about use of the site.4 MySpace users can customize almost everything about their profile. To become a registered user, an individual need only provide an e-mail address and a name; after that, users may do as they like with their personal corners of the world-wide web. The default MySpace privacy settings make a user’s profile accessible to the general public. Unless the user modifies this setting, other users can post comments that will be visible to any persons authorized to view the user’s profile, without the user’s prior consent or approval.

I am thankful to have a partner who “lives the adventure” with me. We are also blessed with two wonderful children, Andrew and Samantha, who are constant sources of joy and inspiration.

I am also grateful to Assistant U.S. Attorneys William “Bud” Fitzgerald, Sean Hoar, Chris Cardani, Frank Papagni, Kirk Engdall, and John Ray for mentoring me and giving me the best job a law student could ask for. Our country is lucky to have such excellent lawyers working for it.

Weatherford INTRODUCTION Jessica Binkerd, a graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara,1 probably never imagined that pictures taken from her MySpace website would one day help send her to jail. Regrettably, that is exactly what happened. On August 6, 2006, Binkerd was driving her co-worker, twenty-five-year-old Alex Baer, home from a party when she swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with another car.2 Unfortunately, Baer did not survive the accident.3 Binkerd’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.4 Binkerd was subsequently charged and convicted of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury.5 In 2007, a Santa Barbara superior court judge disregarded the probation department’s recommendation of less than a one year jail sentence,6 opting instead to impose a much harsher penalty of five years and four months in state prison.7 Despite pleas for leniency from the victim’s family,8 ∗ J.D.

  • The Impact of Myspace on Music and Entertainment 11
    02 Chapter 02 4/21/07 10:21 AM Page 9 The Impact of MySpace on 2 Music and Entertainment usic industry insiders and watchers have definitely taken notice of MySpace’s impact on music and entertainment. The Mold models of the music industry—record deal, mass radio play, major distribution—have been turned on their ears a bit. That’s not to say that the standard business model is irrelevant. It’s still vital in achieving mass-market penetration. But now there’s a change in how musicians can get their songs heard. They’re no longer solely reliant on radio as a means of reaching consumer ears, nor are they dependent on a record label for selling music. Instead, artists can market themselves directly to consumers, who in turn pass the word on to their friends. The web in general has made a direct-to-consumer approach possible for a long time now, but not until the proliferation of MySpace users who love music was there a ready-made community just sitting there waiting to hear the next big music star. In this chapter we’ll take a brief look at how MySpace has affected the landscape of the entertainment industry. In the Beginning… The generally accepted story of MySpace’s founding is that two guys from California, Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe, created the site in 2003 along with a small group of programmers. It may have started as a new way to keep people in the know about local Los Angeles bands and club gigs, but it grew into a place to meet new friends and keep in touch with old.
