Post Links to Articles and Comments Here
Don't Copy That Floppy I added three new sections - Criticism, Popularity Online, and the Criticism section under "Sequel." I also added to the Sequel section and cleaned up the rest of the article, adding citations where they were missing and updating outdated information. Kaylaholderbein (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Criticism of Facebook I added a new section, called "Surveillance." Under this section I added a pre-existing "Student-related issues" to the section. I also added sub-sections: "Performative Surveillance" and "Employer-employee privacy issues." Melconser (talk) 00:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Trade group efforts against file sharing We edited the "Determination of Damages" section and the "End of mass lawsuits" section, specifically we added additional sources (such as relevant court cases) and information from US Copyright Law and the RIAA's own website.

Copyright infringement:Digital piracy in developing countries I added the "Digital piracy in developing countries" section, including the current overview and causes of digital piracy in developing economies. Pphan1991 (talk) 06:53, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Mockbusters I added the sections on: Artistic License, Intent to Deceive, Legality and the Recent Case analysis. Specifically I added legal cases, their contentions, precedents and outcomes. I used information from both law archives, supreme court decision document summaries and articles from many reputed news publications: New York Times, Guardian etc. Bearcat223 (talk) 08:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

"Fisher v Dees" This case is pretty heavily cited with respect to parodies but did not have its own page. I created it and did most of the work through various institutions with open access to legal resources along with using LexisNexis (something every Cal student has access to and would exhort you to use if you haven't). My process is a bit different because I'm still waiting for the approval as wiki is experiencing a backlog for article creation approval. Learning the process for creating an article was an interesting process in itself. Articles pending creation can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pending_AfC_submissions Radeonhead (talk) 11:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Sony BMG v. Tenenbaum: Songs at issue and implications I added a lot more to the background section for this case and, along with that, I created a new section to the page that outlined the implications of the court's decision. I utilized about 5 new sources and added those to the page as well. The implications section I added is under the area of songs at issue due to the fact that I was unable to directly add a new section and instead put in the request on the talk page for the article. In this section I focused on the punitive damages that the court awarded to the record companies and how that had an effect on the entire market for illegal music downloading. In editing the background I made sure to add a significant amount of missing detail that included further insight into who this man is and what exactly he did to spark these lawsuits. I also made sure to mention how he was not the only case issued and was one of thousands in a revolutionary move by the music industry. -Dkingg

Golden Age of Hip-Hop I contributed to the Golden Age of Hip-Hop page, which is still undergoing development and expansion. I touched on the relationship and relevance between this specific time period the rise of the digital sample in music, and how it plays a role in regards to copyright. I added information in all of the pre-existing sections, and created a new section for "Relevant legal cases," highlighting several lawsuits which played a role in the golden age of hip-hop, and its impact on the rest of the music-sampling community. I also added four additional sources that are highly relevant to the topic, and provide further scholarly support for my information, as well as for the facts already listed on the page by others.
