It\u00a0made a different, but welcome change to my normal text posts. The biggest issue I faced was the concern that I might not be able to get the same information across as I could with a written post. My first impression was that I felt more constricted by what I could write, so the video could flow easily.<\/p>\n<p>It was interesting to see what others posted, I commented on Freya\u2019s blog that was on a hacking of JSTOR which resulted in a court case and the defendant committing suicide. It was great to see how she had found an example with a service that I use daily. Freya argued that academic journals should be free which, to some extent, I did too. This provoked my question that asked, how are academics meant to fund this if research costs money in the first place? I\u2019m not sure if I have an answer to this question. Freya\u2019s view was that knowledge should be shared, not charged to the select few who could afford.<\/p>\n<p>Dom\u2019s blog was also of interest to me, specifically, how I perceived his view comparing piracy and Spotify as similar. Because of this, I asked if this is what he meant, and attempted to put across the point that perhaps Spotify was a great compromise to piracy whilst providing the artist with a smaller income, but with longevity as opposed to a one off album sale which artists earn \u00a31.04 of. At the time of writing I hadn\u2019t had a response from Dom.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, and with the video, it was a pleasant experience and one that I feel has given me a new skill set and confidence.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>My comments:<\/p>\n<p>Freya&#8217;s blog and comment: <a href=\"http:\/\/freyamumby.wordpress.com\/2014\/12\/07\/open-access-yay-or-nay\/comment-page-1\/#comment-46\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/freyamumby.wordpress.com\/2014\/12\/07\/open-access-yay-or-nay\/comment-page-1\/#comment-46<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dom&#8217;s blog and comment:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/uzoweblife.wordpress.com\/2014\/12\/07\/is-the-entertainment-industry-going-to-die-out\/comment-page-1\/#comment-31\">http:\/\/uzoweblife.wordpress.com\/2014\/12\/07\/is-the-entertainment-industry-going-to-die-out\/comment-page-1\/#comment-31<\/a><\/p><br \/>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/charliemasonblog.wordpress.com\/101\/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/charliemasonblog.wordpress.com\/101\/\" \/><\/a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=charliemasonblog.wordpress.com&#038;blog=76226339&%23038;post=101&%23038;subd=charliemasonblog&%23038;ref=&%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst it was an interesting topic, the new learning experience for me was the challenge of creating a video.
