Sound future for music on mobiles

I have been continuing to research the definition of Multimedia, and the new cell phones are becoming apart of this meanining. Mobile phones are the new walkie talkies of today. They not only enable us to take pictures, email, and video tape film shorts.. They are now becoming more involved in day to day meetings and also changing the music industry. I was reading in about how phones are being made with a huge storage device. Apple started the trend with the introduction of the iphone, but the Omnifone is starting to take wind too. I think this a group time to really see how communication will either fade fast or take us to another level of what multimedia really is about.

News: US copyright lobby out-of-touch

Many Artist and filmmakers dream about getting there work on the Hollywood stage, but in this news article about how the US is behind in this field. This is a very disturbing bit of information for me, because I am an Artist trying to make sure my work isn't stolen by thieves.... And now this..

"The International Intellectual Property Alliance, an association that brings together US lobby groups representing the movie, music, software, and publisher industries, last week delivered its annual submission to the US government featuring its views on the inadequacy of intellectual property protection around the world."

The most interesting part about this article is that they single out only a few countries, and don't discuss their own copy writing laws. I have a very deep respect for Artist and I feel they should not be fooled by other people about copy writing laws. We all need to make sure we actually read the newest version of the law and also know the laws of other countries too.

Graphic Artist

A friend and I were discussing about how a person becomes an Graphic Artist? We were noticing that a lot of our former college classmates were using the job title of a Graphic Artist. Could someone explain how they became an Artist that have mastered the craft of an Graphic Art designer and why they are called professional Graphic Artist?

I have always thought of Multimedia used just by mixing different product together to show a video, music or even a image. How do you Guys view the use of multimedia.
