The latest trend nowadays are not buying pirated CD's/DVD's. They are watching movies online! As we all know buying pirated DVD's is a crime. So what does watching movies online come under? Is it a crime?

Well whether or not it has been declared officially, watching movies online is equivalent to piracy. It may be an easier way for users but it brings a lot of disadvantages for movie makers. People who learn how to appreaciate movies should also learn about the people behind the scenes that go through hell to make one movie.



Example : “Zombieland currently the most pirated movie . Over one million downloads and counting.” - it only matters to certain degree that Zombieland earned triple its production budget; when you factor in marketing in promotion, that margin gets a lot slimmer and really, in the end, studios watch the much-lauded bottom line to measure how well their films have done. To guarantee a Zombieland 2, Sony was no doubt looking for Zombieland 1 to crack the triple-digit millions – a feat the film should’ve easily accomplished, if those one million people sitting at their computers had decided to drop 7-12 bucks to see the film in theaters, instead of 7-12 minutes downloading it illegally.

And now the fate of Zombieland 2 hangs in the balance, and that just SUCKS.


Youtube cannot consider it as an illegal activity because the movies are uploaded bit by bit, for those who really want to watch a movie, they would have to download 14 to 15 different parts. Dont you think that is a bigger hassle?.Watching clips and funny moments may not be such a crime, but watching movies should not be encouraged. This message goes out to the current generation that practically lives online. Buy original and be original!.

Parent's issue on youtube!

Link to us : http://snipr.com/u7228

Hey everyone, today my post is going to be about what our parents think about us using Youtube. As much as it has been said that youtube is popular amongst everyone.... young and old, Youtube is mostly used by youngsters and sometimes missused by them too.

Based on several articles that i have read, parents are most worried about the adult content on Youtube. Youtube however was not created to promoste adult movies or even encourage users to upload them, but there are still people out there who will. Teenagers that aren't aware of consequences would upload unappropriate videos of sometimes themselves or others.

Now, Youtube has done its best to limit those videos to 18 and above and to allow users to flag them as inappropriate. The solution that most of these articles came up with was for the parents to have a casual talk about the negative sides of youtube. Parents should not stop them from using Youtube for there are many educational aspects of it.

Parents should speak to their underaged children of how Youtube should not be used to view adult content and to not lie about their age when registering. So guys, do you'll think that by talking to their children, parents can get them to stop missusing youtube?...

If not what would be the best way for parents to make their children understand about the bad aspects of youtube?.... Looking forward to your views and comments! till then Byee =)

Hello and welcome to our humble little blog entitled social media buzz! When i said our, i was referring to Asha, Chee Kiat and yours truely Preya. This blog is actually a part of our assignment, for us, Mass Communication students from Inti College Subang Jaya. In the coming 10 weeks, each of us will take turns tackling issues regarding social media sites! =D

For those of you pondering on what social media sites are, well, easy, they are actually sites that allows users to create and exchange any sort of media content, hence the word social media sites. This ranges from the very site you are reading off, Blogger, to our very loved Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Imeem, MySpace and so many more other sites.

Social media sites has gained much popularity in these recent years, almost like a phenomenon hitting everyone who uses the Internet and it continues to gain popularity. Users now are spoiled for choices as they are many sites of the same sort to choose from.

The topic for this week, YouTube!

We know you all love sneaking into YouTube to catch the latest and hottest music videos, upcoming movie trailers (talking about trailers, you have to check out the new trailer for Wolfman, it is awesome!) sorry i strayed from the topic, got too excited, and practically watching anything that is in a video form!

YouTube was launched in 2005 that supports the most common video formats. Founded by three men formally working at PayPals - Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim with the slogan Broadcast Yourself. Video's are converted to Flash Video and users have to have a flash player to watch video's. YouTube began as an avenue for users to exchange video's among friends and family then grew into a platform for people to showcase their talents. Whether it is videography skill, or someone just trying to make a statement, YouTube began to overflow with video's. YouTube, even became the place for many to showcase their singing talents like YouTube's first star who now an award winning artist, Colbie Caillat! YouTube's main competitor is AOL, but in my opinion they've got nothing to worry about as YouTube is a phenomenon that's going to last for quite some time, don't you think so?

We'll that's all for my post this time, I hope that you guys will keep up with our blog and support us along the way. We value your comments and opinions very much.

Oh and here's the link to the Wolfman trailer I was talking about! Enjoy!
