"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."

The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.

No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.

Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

My Short Fim: Letters

This last weekend I participated in a 48 Hour Film Competition but on by my school. The challenge was to make a 1 to 5 minute film in 48 hours, from writing to shooting to editing. We also had a required genre, character, and prop. Mine were: disaster film, Mike Vang - farmer, and a suitcase. I'm relatively new to editing (only having done some packages for the school show), and this was my first actual film. There are definitely some errors (a boom mic in one scene, an arm in another, and Editing mentioned twice in the credits...), but overall I'm super proud of it. Please give her a go, and let me know what you think. :)

Summary: Mike Vang writes letters to his family after a deadly virus which has swept the nation takes them from him. (But there's a happy ending [or at least a hopeful one] - I promise!)



Bonus video: The Exchange, one of our competitors. This is my personal favorite of the six entries.

Disappearing Comments Issue

I know I haven't posted in forever, and now I'm here to ask for help. I know, I'm such a meaner. :(

Anyway, I've been having this problem for quite some time now, most notably on my computer at work, and now tonight on the one I am using at school. I go to view comment_fic (which I do several times a day...). Upon opening the post for today, I can see that it currently has 82 comments over 4 pages.

So I read the comments on the first page. However, when I click to view page two, it then only shows 2 pages and 50 comments. I am unable to view any of the others.

If anyone has any idea of what the problem might be and how I can fix it, please tell me! I would very much appreciate it. :)
