Being a big fan (and consumer) of P2P programs as KaZaA and Emule, I became aware at one point of particular short movies-compilations of a lot of TV-shows and movies, which appeared to be produced by fans. Fans compiled fragments of their favorite scenes and of their favorite characters of particular TV-shows in such a way that it became a sort best-of-movie. On top of that they also put a song during the fragments which they thought suited best for those fragments. Fans had actually made their own movie....

Although the movie wasn’t quite a hit, the spin-off serie indeed was. The TV-show casted Sarah Michelle Gellar as its main protagonist. She plays a highschool girl, that obviously is a vampire slayer. She doesn’t stand alone in this battle against demons and other forces of darkness. No,...

They existed all along but through the internet it has been a lot easier for fans to share information, pictures, files etc. concerning their idol or TV-show or whatever. Especially with p2p-programs as KaZaA, E-mule and Gnutella it is very easy to exchange files. In his article Interactive audiences? The collective intelligence of media fans Henry Jenkins says that the new participatory culture is taking shape at the intersection between three trends: ” (1) new tools and...

If you just take a glance at this site you can immediately witness the huge amount of fan fiction and the work that has been delivered. There‘s fan fiction about Buffy meeting Ghostbusters, Buffy meeting Xena the warrior princess. Without the facilities of the...

It has several characters where the viewers can relate to and identify with. On top of that, the TV-show is full with adventure and entertainment. Although the subject may not always be very realistic, there’s always a certain level of realism put in, by creating storylines that are taken out of live. Leisure time has had a switch in definition the last couple of years. Leisure time used to be explained as time free from obligation or compulsion. Nowadays it’s...

Poeh and did I gave those writers a hard time hey ;-). I only have to write my final research......but first I'm going to the biggest Rugby tournament of the year. Ameland Beachrugby I'll probably be exhausted when I come home and full with bruises but it's all worthwhile. Talk to you later! http://rg1vanhilten.blogdrive.com/comments?id=11 http://rg1vanhilten.blogdrive.com/archive/10.html Thu, 10 Jun 2004 15:48:15 GMT A Critical question to the article of J.D. Lasica Question: Lasica refers tot the following statement of Clay Shirky “The order of things in broadcast is filter, then publish. The order in communities is publish, then filter.” What are your thoughts on this statement.? Answer: Since this article is about journalism I will take the daily news as example. As always I have double thought concerning this matter. At this point, I’m almost at the point that hardly believe anything that’s on the news. Due to my study I’m almost indoctrinated with the idea that everything we see on the news...

Tybout and Gregory S. Carpenter Question: It is said in this article that "the brand name, rather than the product, is now the primary basis for choosing one product over another". Do you agree? Answer: Yes, and I have a splendid example to point that out. We all know the commercials made for sanitary napkins and pantyliners etc, which are most of the time extremely annoying. Nevertheless, it doesn’t really seem to matter. They sell their products anyway. A market survey pointed out (and I should have known which one it was but I can’t look...

I will make this outline with the help of the famous “schijf van vijf” made by mister Eggo Muller. My research will focus on the official websites (because there are more of them) and fan sites of the TV-show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. Motivation: First of all I would like to motivate the choice of my research paper. I’m a big fan (and consumer) of P2P programs as KaZaA and Emule. At one point I became aware of particular short movies-compilations of a lot...

I just can’t come up with something critical. It’s all a bit of a blur to me what the article is about. Is it about the preconditions that distinguishes peer-to-peer from programs that aren’t peer-to-peer and if so, who cares, really? It seems to me like an rather technical article. But anyway, my question will be, what makes Napster P2P? Answer: The addresses of Napster nodes bypass the DNS system, and because once the Napster server resolves the IP...
