copy right case

John Fogerty, a band member of Creedence Clearwater Revival, had signed himself out of the band and all the royalties of the stable of songs by CCR. John wrote and sung his song “Zanz can’t dance” well, Saul Zaentz, his old partner claims that song is a replica of the CCR’s song “run through the jungle”. John was being accused of plagiarizing himself. To solve this case, john played both songs in court to the judge and the jury. The case was dismissed and john ended up suing the record company for court cost. He ended up changing the song title to “Zanz to Vanz”

think before you post!

Before you decide to send a picture of yourself to either the internet or to a friend think of where it will end up if something goes awry between you and who you sent it to.. dont let others decide where your picture ends up. By doing this it could go to your little siblings and maybe your parents. if you only want one person to see it show them yourself. don't send it to them because it could end up to be a bad choice

texting vs. voice calls???

in todays world, 31% of american adults between the ages of 18 and 24 prefer to text than to call and talk to somebody. the young adults (again between ages 18 and 24) exchange about an average of 110 texts a day and about 3200 a month. whereas it is doubled more than the average of adults from the ages 25-34 and over 23 times the figure of people 65 and older!
55% people who exchange about 51 texts a day report peferring to call the person and see whats up with them instead of using there fingers for an hour when they can talk over the phone for 5 minutes. but on the otherhand, texting is more brief especially if you're pressed for time and you need the date of a party. texting also helps the aid of if you're somewhere noisy and u cant talk to someone you can jsut text. a plus aboout texting is that when you get a text you can finish your task before responding (such as parking your car) and you can also think about what you wanna say before your good coversation can go bad
