Hi everybody i'm doctor nick

Hey, i got another assignment after a very very long hiatus.

The thing i'm going to be talking about is internet ownership.

The idea behind this issue is that once someone puts something up online, people tend to take it. This is the problem with the internet, when something is out there, it's gone. It now belongs to anyone who wants to pick it up.

This creates an incredibly cool aspect on the internet: many people can team up to create singular works of art, or entertainment. Newgrounds.com is a website in which authors from all over the world can contribute to making projects such as flash movies with which millions of people use to distract themselves daily.

This is the cool side of internet sharing; artists getting together in order to help each other out.

The not cool side is really annoying though. This is the youtube syndrome. The youtube syndrome occurs whenever something really cool comes out on youtube. People think it's cool, and then decide to make their own versions or responses to it. Eventually critical mass is reached and youtube is filled with useless crap that noone cares about and has nothing to do with the original posting.

So when something goes out in my personal opinion it is out there, but the original version should stay unmolested. All homages of something should link you back to the original, and all of those homages should be presenting some completely new perspective on the piece in question. If it's already been said, move on, don't make another music video for Kurt Cobain, he has enough already.
