Week 2 Intro Copyright 101, UDHR, GNI, Netflix

Welcome to week 2, we are 10% of the way through the quarter.  There are some minor changes to the schedule this week.  For the RSS portion of the class I will be trying something new.  I will be sending out one or two specific topics before each class that will be covered in class.  Please continue to read other articles, but make sure to specifically prepare for the topic distributed before class.

Tuesday:
The Jonh Rawls reading has been canceled for a short synopsis of his work, the overview is attached and will be posted online.  We are adding a 10 minute overview on Copyright 101 with a Q&A.     Please make sure to read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the Global Network Initiative, the GNI Wiki Primer and Freedom Defined – freedomdefined.org/Definition.
