Harlem Shake song causes trouble

Surprise Hit Was a Shock for Artists Heard on It By James C. McKinley Jr.

The main idea of this article is that the creator of the most popular dance song out currently "The Harlem Shake" is causing trouble in the media because the creator of the song who goes by the name of Baauer is part of a company that doesn't verify there rights to use anything from other people.

Details/evidence I have from the article is when Hector Delgado's former manager Javier Gómez called him to tell him about his voice being clearly heard on the hit song "Harlem Shake". Jayson Musson was another artist illegally used in the song as he was called by a member of his former rap group who told him his voice was heard yelling out the key phrase "Do the Harlem Shake!" Despite out the popularity neither Delgado or Musson gave permission to the producer and song writer Harry Bauer Rodrigues aka Baauer and both feel that they've been offended because they had no idea until they were made aware of the song and now they both demand compensation. Another detail is how Baauer along with his label company Mad Decent Records both decline to comment on the subject and I say this is a detail because in my opinion they don't want to comment on the subject because they know what they've chosen to do wasn't the right thing to do and they obviously know they can get in serious trouble.

In my opinion I like the song I even did a Harlem Shake video of my own with some friends but using a person's voice in the song without that person knowing just isn't right. Baauer because you've chosen to go behind both Delgado's and Musson's backs now you've gotten yourself in trouble because now they want compensation for the fame you've got because you never really had permission from them before so now Mad Decent Records is in trouble you're in trouble and now because of that I'm writing a blog about it.

This article has helped me to think more deeply of the subject because that really brings to life the definition of a "back stabber" because they purposely went behinds these 2 artist's backs and took bits of their recordings and thought they were getting away with it but the truth is now they're in a neck load of trouble.

I have no connection I can make to this article but my question is directed to Baauer and Mad Decent Records and my question is why do you guys think you can do something and not face the consequences for your actions? What were you thinking when you created the song? How're you going to get yourself out of this mess?

Women willing to die for their country

The NY Times Upfront Sisters in Arms by James Dao

The main idea of this article is that the Pentagon has just got rid of the long going ban on women fighting on the front lines and there is a lot of talk about weather or not that was the right choice to make or not.

Details/evidence from the text is that according to history it's been many years that women have not been able to go on the front line because of many issues men had such as women being mothers and if they were to die then how would her kids feel? or many other important aspects of the sort so men weren't keeping women off the frontline to be jerks but they were doing it because they didn't want women to get hurt or even killed but women on the other hand were and still are willing to die for their country just as much as men. Another detail from the text is how they described the acts of bravery women performed when they were under attack and even when men fell either wounded or killed and women would be seen dragging them to safety and fending for themselves even though they weren't supposed too.

In my opinion I find this to be a positive thing because allowing women to show they're bravery and strength is just another step to having equality in America and in the future I see our army growing stronger and having more numbers now that they're having a further out reach to more people adding on to the masses of trained, prepared, even experienced soldiers we have.

To my knowledge there is no connection I can make to this. However this article has helped me to think more deeply of the topic because I only found out that the pentagon was allowing women to fight just 2 days ago so before that I had no knowledge of them even considering allowing them in but now they're able to fight for our country aswell as men and I'm writing this blog about it so I'm well caught up.

My question is how do you think this change will effect the future of the U.S army? Will this change help the Forces or possibly detract from them a bit?
