Summary:

A few weeks ago, the Playstation Network was shutdown due to the hacking. The new game Brink was releases this week. Many people are adapted to playing online with others. This caused many to go back to playthe Brink game single mode. How ever, many switched to X-Box to have the online experience with this game.

Relevance:

The article is relevance to our web class because users use the internet to play the multiplayer from different location. If the system gets hack, then it will be a problem for those company that are trying to make traffic.

Quote:

The quote I choose was ”However, with a full PSN restoration potentially weeks away, Brink console sales are expected to be heavily skewed towards Xbox 360. “ I choose this one because you can see that low traffic can cause people to go to other companies.

Summary:

The court of New York does not recognize cyber bullying as an cognizable tort of action. Reviewing the case, the jurisdiction sees this differently. The court examines the context analysis in depth. Being in war with the use of writing is a crime.

Relevance:

This topic is relevance to the internet world because many users communicate through either e-mail, social network, or messengers. Users must be careful with the text or words they use when communicating online. it’s a good thing it happens rarely.

Quote:

“In the absence of a contextual analysis—present in New York's defamation law, but missing from many of the proposed and existing cyber-bullying laws—this kind of communication, familiar to anyone who has ever been in a "flame war," could become a crime.” According to this article it says that, “This is an important topic that is likely to spur more litigation. Law review commentary on this important topic would be most welcomed.”
