Section I: Introduction Marilyn Monroe
was my topic of choice for many reasons. Although it has been many decades
since she died, she is still a topic of conversation in almost any crowd.
Marilyn Monroe has fascinated people of all ages for years, and to many,
the secrets of this celebrity's life still remain a mystery yet to be
uncovered. Monroe was glamorous and the epitome of femininity. She was
controversial-- yet people loved her. During my research,
I hope to learn more about the life of Marilyn Monroe. It seems that the
cause of her death is unknown to many people. Some believe she was murdered,
and others believe she simply died in her sleep. I would like to focus
my research on her life and the events that led to her death. I would
like to find out exactly what caused her to die at such a young age, and
why there is so much mystery surrounding her death. I think the audience
that would be most interested in learning what I have found after researching
my topic is the fans of Marilyn Monroe. I do not believe there is really
a distinction between male and female and young and old. People of all
ages can relate to this topic because Marilyn Monroe's legacy still lives
on today. People still watch her movies, buy her posters and discuss her
life. I think her die-hard fans would most enjoy reading about the end
of her short life. Section I-b: Keywords UNC Library Catalog: Marilyn Monroe Marilyn Monroe NOT Monroe Doctrine Marilyn Monroe AND life Marilyn Monroe AND death

Section V: Mini-Essay Napster, a website
created by Shawn Fanning that revolutionized the sharing of free music
over the internet in 1999, finally had to face the music in court after
a long debate over the controversy of swapping free music files ended.
After more than two years of trading and downloading free music with the
only quick click of the mouse, loyal fans of Napster would have to find
other means of adding to their music collections . (1) Napster, Inc. was
accused by the Recording Industry Association of America of helping Napster
users to trade copyrighted music without permission. In February 2001,
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the Napster case upheld most of
the lower court's judgment of a restrictive injunction. The court found
that Napster's users infringed copyrights, and Napster was secondarily
liable for those infringements. The court also stated that the burden
of identifying the music on Napster that was infringing on the plaintiffs'
rights would be placed on the plaintiffs. There is still some question
as to how much burden is being placed on Napster to monitor the site so
more infringement does not occur. (2) In September 2001, Napster, Inc. negotiated a $26 million settlement with music publishers and representatives that will allow Napster to continue song-swapping by becoming a paid subscription service. Bertelsmann AG and Napster, Inc. agreed in October 2001 to work together to turn the peer-to-peer file sharing service into a secure membership-based service that will let users enjoy the same service they loved, while reimbursing artists, songwriters, publishers and all others in the music industry for their products. (3) Both Napster and the music industry will continue to work on ways to bridge the gap between copyright laws and the sharing of music on the web. Notes: (1) Benedict, Jon. (2000, December 14).
