Introduction

Photography has come a long was since it begun in the 1820s. The development of large format to 35mm cameras and now the fast development of the digital camera have pushed the popularity of photography. Since digital cameras have become so inexpensive anyone can own one. This has boosted an increase in recording a person’s life story. People are emailing family members pictures, AOL instant messaging friends pictures and making website specifically for their photographs. File sharing with photographs is growing and will keeping on growing with the documentation of life.

The study of file sharing is a blog project set to discover what people like about being able to file share and see what people don't like about file sharing. I will also find out the copyright laws in general. More specifically with copyright laws, What photo organizing web sites say about copyright laws and if each site is difference or not. When I know the laws I want to ask how many people have broken these laws and if people think they should be changed or not with the increase in the ability to pirate almost anything.

A portion of this assignment is about the incorporation of a multimedia piece. I will be putting together slides shows of pictures from people that file share with me, slide shows of my own photos that people may comment on (and I hope people will), and linking pictures that relate to topics that I will be writing about.
