Technology Persuasive Paper: Napster, Itunes, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Copyright, Creative Commons, and Open Educational Resources (OER)

There has been significant recent intellectual property related controversy on each of the emerging technology topics listed below. Spend some time independently researching each of the following 6 topics and then pick the one that interests you the most (do not do this until you have completed the reading above):

Napster, Itunes, and Digital Rights Management (DRM)
Copyright, Creative Commons, and Open Educational Resources (OER)
Youtube, Copyright Infringement, and Copyright Verification
Pandora Internet Radio
The Kindle Owners’ Lending Library

Once you have picked your topic, do significant in depth research on this topic. Write a 3 to 4 page paper that begins with a clear persuasive argument in the first paragraph (you will develop this argument based on your research of the topic you have chosen). Keep your focus narrow, picking an argument that can be demonstrated throughout the paper in three or four simple steps. Be sure to give a clear sense of where you are going to take your argument in the first paragraph.

Build your argument throughout your paper in small steps, making sure your sentences follow logically and coherently and that there are clear transitions between your paragraphs. Thoroughly express all concepts and claims, asking yourself for each one, have you thoroughly defended the claim or have you just stated it. Include factual references to demonstrate your familiarity with, and understanding of, the material in question. Be sure that your argument is informed by and connected to this module’s readings in the class text. Write clearly and convincingly. Use footnotes to cite any material that is not your own.

Try to have fun with your paper. Prove your points, but don’t forget the paper is also an exercise in critical thinking, creativity, and communication. Work on your ability to fine-tune your points and really develop them.
