321 Studios introduced DVD X copy software in 2003 that allowed users to make backup copies of DVDs for personal use, which was welcomed in many countries but faced legal challenges in the US from the MPAA. While 321 Studios argued it was legal under fair use rights, they created a revised "ripper-free" version under pressure from Hollywood that prevented piracy. During this time, 321 Studios also launched six additional applications including DVD editing software, allowing the company to overcome obstacles from the powerful MPAA through their entrepreneurial approach.
0760111 Cell Phones: The Good, The Bad, and the Solid GoldAli G
This integrated media series is focused on a simple thing most people take for granted: the cellular phone. This presentation isn't focused on its' strong points or its' history, however--oh no--this is all about the Anti-Cell Phone movement. More specifically, it's a brief introduction to the current lobbying efforts to ban the devices, and two entities going about it in two completely different manners.
As far as the design of the slideshow is concerned, a more gray scale approach was taken, to reflect the coloring of typical phone screens (as the background is a zoomed in image of a cellular screen), but also how cold phones as a technology are. Without the texts and phone calls, they hardly catch our eye. That was the theme chosen, and hopefully you see it as fitting. Without further interruption, I leave you to your viewing.
Slides used in the MAC281 Cyberculture at the University of Sunderland (Feb 2009). The session looked at the responses and justifications given by file-sharers. Focusses on examples taken from the popular BitTorrent site OiNK.me.uk (latterly OiNK.cd).

Below is the case.
Kodak (A)
In February 2003, Daniel A. Carp, Kodak’s chief executive officer and chairman, was reviewing 2002 data with the company’s senior executives: film sales had dropped 5% from the already weak previous year and revenues were down 3%, sliding to $12.8 billion. The film industry was “under pressure unlike ever before”, and Carp predicted a “fairly long downturn”1 for traditional photography sales as more and more consumers were turning to digital cameras, which did not require film. The company had been investing heavily in digital imaging since the early 1980s, pioneering image-sensor technology in 1986 and entering the market with a variety of products during the 1990s.
In addition, Kodak was moving more of its manufacturing to China, where it could still boast film sales, and was planning to slash 2,200 jobs, or 3% of its work force, especially in the photo-finishing business. The picture for 2003 was not any brighter: Carp expected revenues to grow slightly to $13 billion and net income to be flat or down from the $770 million the company had earned in 2002.
A native of Wytheville, Virginia, Carp had graduated in management from MIT, and had begun his career at Kodak in 1970 as a statistical analyst. Since then he had held a variety of positions, including general manager of sales for Kodak Canada, general manager of the consumer electronics division, general manager of the European, African, and Middle Eastern regions in 1991, and president and chief operating officer in 1997. Carp was finally appointed CEO on January 1, 2000. After more than 30 years at the company, he realized this struggle was one of the toughest in the company’s century-long history. How could he use digital imaging to revitalize Kodak?

2. About 321 Studios
• 321 Studios, the brainchild of entrepreneur
and lawyer Rob Semaan and businessman
Robert Moore, made waves in 2003 when it
introduced DVD X copy.
• Consumers who bought the software could
make backup copies of their delicate and
easily scratched DVDs for home use.
3. Challenges in the U.S.
• Although the software was welcomed in many
countries outside the USA, where copyright laws allow
replicating DVDs for personal use, it met with
challenges in the United States, predominantly from
the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
• Although Rob Semaan claimed during legal
proceedings he instituted against the MPAA that the
purpose of the software was protected under fair use
rights, pressure from Hollywood convinced 321 Studios
to create a “ripper-free” version that made piracy
virtually impossible.
4. Opportunity Created
• During this period, 321 Studios took the
opportunity to also launch six additional
applications, including a DVD editing and
authoring tool.
• Semaanand Moore’s creative flexibility and
entrepreneurial spirit allowed 321 Studios to
overcome substantial obstacles from a
powerful and well-funded organization.
