The Fine Line Between Art and Porn

Women tend to recognize this line much better than men I have noticed. But regardless, there is a very common misconception out there. Sure we all recognize things like the David by Michelanglo as art, but in modern times not everyone is carving religious nude pieces. More commonly nudity in modern art involves tattoos and piercings to a certain degree. People tend to fail in realizing what is tacky nudity and what is artsy nudity. An example of an artist who draws girls generally topless, but intends all of his work to be art is Joe Pekar. Unfortunately a lot of his work is closer to porn because more people would rather see that, which I find pretty sad. He recently released a book called Strawberry which features a lot of beautiful pieces of art. Pin-up girls are another good example of art that tends to be received more like porn. I have always thought that feminine beauty was always the most stunning. Maybe the key is to be more open-minded about seeing naked figures.

WARNING: Sharing is not caring

Many of us underpaid college students cannot afford to buy every single CD or song their heart has ever desired. What's worse is that songs and albums bought on iTunes cannot be shared or even played on computers that aren't "authorized". These issues only fuel our passion for file sharing. But be warned, while downloading songs is not illegal- sharing them is. Some unfortunate people are finding this out the hard way: getting charged $10,000 for every shared song.
Check out the video here.

For those avid downloaders, you can turn off file sharing on most clients in the preferences. Also, make sure you unselect the option that says "search for music to share on hard drive".
Plus, be careful of getting bugs in your system from these clients. If you notice your computer is running slower than usual or you are experiencing problems, those might be a sign that it's time to say goodbye to these clients. Bit torrents are a much safer alternative and there are many free ware clients available for these little treasures. Of course the safest is no client at all, but what fun is that?
