Sources Table

Wrote questions and sub questions, found links about the subject I'm researching.
http://watch-movies.net.in/ - http://www.watchmovieslinksonline.com/ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media - http://www.answers.com/topic/streaming-video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgD90kgFnw - http://hubpages.com/hub/legal-download-services - http://www.bized.co.uk/current/research/2003_04/011203.htm
Googled internet streaming and what the future holds for it. I then went on different websites to see the different ways of using internet streaming.

I checked the intuit websites, I also listened to a podcast by Stephen Fry talking about music downloading.
http://www.intute.ac.uk/communication - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/mar/10/murdoch-illegal-downloading-stealing-handbag - http://stuff.tv/news/Stephen-Fry-wows-Apple-iTunes-festival-with-controversial-copyright-talk/12749/ - http://www.nme.com/news/duffy/38499
I researched the topic in the new media folder, but I didn't find anything on illegal downloading of music. Instead I googled to research more information and sources on illegal downloading.
I personally think that the podcast by Stephen Fry is a very good source as it gives you a lot of infromation and insight about illegal downloading. I also think the link to the guardian website is a bad source. As it gives you little information.

While following the lesson I wrote on my blog to keep track of what was happening in the lesson and to keep all of the information. I then looked for more sources on the internet and in books from the library.
http://www.riaa.com/faq/php - http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2009/jun/09/games-dvd-music-downloads-piracy - http://drownedinsound.com/news/4136081vcv - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/72402434.stm - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Parents.Yourchildshealthandsafety/Internetsafety/DG_071136
I typed in illegal downloading into the search engine google. I went on various links which gave me the statistics for the illegal downloading of the UK.
I think that the riaa website was a very good source because of the fact that it gave me plenty of infomation and I would say that this website was reliable. I think the guardian is a bad source as it gives a lot information but none of the information is that useful.

Today I did a lot more research on illegal downloading to improve my sources table.
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/illegal-downloading-what-happens-if-youre-caught-17736013.html - http://http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_download - http://www.copynot.com/ - http://www.besttechie.net/2008/04/14/illegal-music-downloading-look-at-the-facts/ - A book by Sexton, Jamie called Digital music: Production, Distribution and Consumption.
I think the independent website is a good sources as it gave me lots of information and it's pretty reliable. I also think the besttechie website and the book by Jamie Sexton are both good and reliable sources.

Audience Research

(aim – to find out about downloading and streaming habits among a particular age group) 


The bad points from this questionaire are: 
- On the questionnaire they ask you to write your name. This is bad because a questionnaire is to find out what the public thinks, not who the public is. 
- The questionnaire also asks if you feel guilty when downloading music. This is not a good question because they ask too much personal information, questionnaire's are usually just for finding out facts of the public. 
- The questionnaire also asks you where you store your downloaded music. I would consider this to be a bad question as the people asking the question wouldn't gain anything by knowing this. 


I think this questionnaire could improve if it has more questions on there which could be more valuable to the researchers, but as they have questions which aren't very usefull, I think this questionnaire isn't a good one.

Reliable Websites

What makes websites reliable? Where do they get their information from? 
Websites such as www.wikipedia.com aren't very reliable as the information isn't always true and as the public can re-type and add to the information that was already on the website. 
Websites such as www.bbc.co.uk are reliable websites as they have reporters going out and getting the actual story, they also check there stories before they post them to their website. The bbc has a duty to the public to be fair and balanced.

Who? (Who updates the website with the right and relevant information)
What? (What exactly they are saying)
Why? (Why are they saying this, what made them say this)
Where? (This information can be found on websites such as Forums, blogs and academic websites)
