COPYRIGHT

Copyright is a huge issue. I partially agree with many of the laws. I do think that people should not be allowed to download thousands of songs for free. Artists and musicians work hard to make a living. I do also believe that record labels are too harsh on little cases. They should not force someone to pay millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for downloading five songs. They need to go after the people downloading thousands of songs and selling them. In regards to artwork or literature, I think the laws can be a little ridiculous, especially when it comes to using works in projects. People are too money crazy and that fuels their cases. Sure, if someone tries to claim something that is not theirs, that's bad. But just using something in an assignment with should be OK. People have just become too greedy. Everything is about how much they can get and how much they can sell it for. The world needs to get their priorities straight and change.

  1. In addition it seems unfair that the targeted "criminals" are more-so the ones downloading not uploading; to me I think the greater fault is he of the uploader--since he's making it available in the first place (much like the YouTube uploader vs YouTube streamer)
