Response to required blog: Attention Max
I am responding to the opinion of this blog regarding the new pricing of MetroCard fares.
http://www.attentionmax.com/blog/2008/05/new_york_mtas_metrocard.php
The blog discusses how a few monthes ago you would get a $2 bonus for every $10 put on the card. Now, according to this blog and the MTA site:
Put $7 or more on your card and receive a 15 percent bonus. For example, a $20 purchase gives you $23 on your card. 11 trips for the price of 10, with $1 balance. Refill your card to use the balance.
The issue at hand with the new pricing is not only the hike in prices but the one dollar balance. The blogger beleives that the $1 balance is unfair because when swiped it will say 'insuffient fair' leaving the user to believe there is no money on it. I do not think this is unfare because there are price hikes in everything these days, why is MTA different? Also, in regards to the $1 balance, if the user keeps track of the amount of money and the way the system works they will know that there is a $1 balance and that balance will still be there when adding money to the card.

Ethical Issues in Attorney Advertising
Current Ethical Issues in Attorney AdvertisingPractical Ethics Article: April 8, 1992
http://www.nhbar.org/pdfs/PEA4-92.pdf
Despite the fact this blogs main topic is new and old music, it is for my Internet Marketing course. Throughout the semester we have had to post four blogs relating to our outside group topic (Legal and Ethical Issues in Marketing). In my previous blogs on this topic and with this one included, I have tried my hardest to incorporate music into these posts to relate it to my blog. There are 100's of articles out there strictly relating to the legal and ethical issues involving marketing but in order to make it a little more interesting I have been finding articles on legal and ethical issues pertaining to the marketing/advertising of music or more specific issues.
This is my last post on this topic and I put a great deal of time into finding the last article I wanted to write about. The link posted in this blog is to a peer reviewed areticle that I found particularly interesting. The article is in regards to attorney
advertising and the use of the First Amendment. The issue as hand is how the First Amendment is used to protect attorney advertising from state restrictions. By doing this the guidlines set by the Rules of Professional Conduct have not been followed.Lawyers for a long time had been advertising in any means as they have pleased which will soon come to an end with the implementation of new rules regarding the Aspirational Goals of law firms and attorney advertising.
I know this article has nothing to do with music like the others ones regarding legal and ethical issues in marketing have but this is a very interesting article to check out. My major is criminal justice so articles like these bringing about knowlege in different aspects of merging fields are very interesting to me.
I hope you have the time to check it out if you are interested at all topics like these.
Thanks :) VQUZESHUF

With that said I took a look at all my past posts to see who else I should feature and discuss. While doing this I realized that I had not posted a single blog on a rapper. Rap may not really be my style but I cannot deny that weezy's ones of the best out there.

Weezy began his solo career in 2002 and only six years later has collaborated with nearly all the hottest names in the music industry. He has released six solo albums since his debut and will continue to be a very popular rapper. Weez is directly associated with Hot Boys, Birdman, Juelze Santana, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled,
TI, Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Chamillionaire, the Game and more.Lil Wayne recieves a great deal of recognition for his work.

Legal and Ethical Issues in Advertising of Music
The presented article discusses the legal issues regarding podcasting. Podcasting is the posting or transmitting an audio file to be downloaded and viewed/heard by other internet users either on a computer or MP3 player. Usually these audio files that are being transmitted are ones that are updated very regularly like radio broadcasts. Podcasting software can be found all over the internet and anyone can access it.
The issue with podcasting is that providing users with podcasts they are providing the user with muic and new music which can infringe upon copyright laws; the performance of a work; the playing of a sound recording of a performance; and the reproduction of a sound recording by incorporating it into a podcast are the ways it does.
What is now required is a series of copyrighting licenses to be obtained in order to make particular broadcastings available through podcast. Not obtaining proper licences can result in great penalties.

10. Duane used an old-fashioned glass prescription pill bottle as a slide for his guitar. He kept it locked away in a briefcase while on the road, so as not to risk having it lost or broken in the course of handling all the larger equipment. Finding one that fit the finger, and also just happened to be the right length wasn't all that easy.
