Rather than looking at internet ethics which have been covered by everyone else, I decided to think about what happened pre-internet. Specifically, what happened to the disgruntled youth?
I decided to look at Pump Up the Volume (1990) which is the typical teen flick portraying the students in a highschool and the edgy, unsettled undercurrent in their environment. This undercurrent is verbalised and exacerbated by a pirate radio station whose DJ is a student there - Hard Harry.
Pump Up the Volume is an interesting look into what the cross-section of society who are now the angry bloggers used to do to get their message out there. In this situation, before internet was freely available, they turned to airwaves...
PUTV delves in the area of censorship and notions of free speech, what it means, how it's practiced etc.
