Entry 3:

I have gathered informations on issues of video downloading and compiled them together for writing the draft for the white paper. My portion will be done by monday we get back from the spring break.

Each member is expected to continue the research on their own respective subjects along with writing individual rough drafts to be assembled into one large rough draft. The meeting scheduled for after break is to assemble these rough drafts and complete our final rough draft due in class.

This week I am finishing my research of the legality issues of media piracy.  So far, the most prominent subjects within this research have been the discussion of what exactly constitutes piracy of copyrighted material through the Internet, the legitimacy of the RIAA's oft-used theory "Making Available," and the legal requirement or non-requirement of ISPs to comply with RIAA requests to notify users of suspected piracy.  The detailed information from research of these subjects will inform an ISP of what action is required by law if given a request by the RIAA, and will allow an I
