Wow, I'm having a hard time stomaching the foxnews article about copyright. It's almost as if the average person doesn't understand fair use. I went to the digg site for the article and read some of the more interesting comments. I echo the comment of one user who talked about what you really are buying when you purchase a CD. I know I'm buying plastic, but I'm also buying the right to listen to that music in the format of my choice. Not sure where the law is on that view? But it sounds almost too logical to be correct :-)

Also, I started watching the "Moral Issues: Part I" video from Pastor Kelm and was taken aback when he commented that there were 6 users streaming the presentation online. He welcomed them and said something that was shocking.."To those of you watching remotely, we're glad your here..we are not sure why you are here, but glad you are..."

I am sure that the comment was COMPLETELY made with out implication, but it struck me as odd...Why wouldn't someone be logged in and listening? Is the topic not that important? Is Rev. Kelm not that good a presenter? Isn't that why we do things online...so they can be seen? Shouldn't that especially be said of the Gospel message.

Like I said, it just struck me.

Thanks again for the posts!!

The LOC pictures on Flicker were actually compiled and posted by a former student of mine, Justin. This was his last big project at LOC. He is moving on to another position this week I believe. We were in our newborn stages of technology when he attended our school. It still amazes me when I see all that he has accomplished. Can you imagine what today's student will be doing in the future?
