There was a case between PsyStar (a Apple imitation found in california) vs. Apple. PsyStar was illegally selling copied, modified, and distributing Apple's code. It has not been settled yet but it was stated that Apple has already won and are now finalizing the consequences.

Week 9: Propaganda in Advertising/PR
ProActiv!
Ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t8ybNdcbxg
Half-Truth: This ad is considered a half truth because what it doesn't tell you is that you have to keep using it in order to maintain the pore-less skin you desire. It's basically like a life-long contract that you unwillingly sign.
Bandwagon: It shows celebrities in many of the ProActiv commercials. Because celebrities have a big impact on how people dress and what people talk about, its easier for them to sell their product with a celebrity vouching for them.

Week 7: Internet
When I searched for 'social working websites', there was about 20 sites listed. I've heard of Myspace and Facebook(which I currently use). However, many of these sites I've never come across. One site that is not included is Friendster. Chewster is a site that is helps you connect with people within the film industry. It keeps your connected between companies and even helps you to find employment. You use social networking sites helps you keep in touch with friends, families, and coworkers. It also can be used as finding soul mates and what not. One incident that my sister went through on myspace was when my cousin saw her at a party doing things she shouldn't be doing at the age of 18.
