Four great Citizen Journalism articles on BoingBoing.net

I'm just reading BoingBoing this afternoon and I see four articles that relate directly to stuff we're talking about in class:

Sci-fi objects from a 3D printer - John alluded to the Long Tail of Manufacturing when he mentioned the option of custom-built Nike sneakers. Here's an article about the 3-D printers which will bring Long Tail manufacturing mainstream.

Fair Use for the 21st Century - Journalists and lawyers argue about 'fair use' on the NYTimes blog. Something we're going to be talking about a lot later on in the course.

China: Citizen Journalist beaten to death

Fair Copyright for Canadians - More on Digital Rights Management from a Canadian perspective. We touched on this legislation in an earlier class.

Hope you find these useful!
