Copyright is a thing people of this generation has to deal with and it is so annoying. Imaging being on youtube and people can use audio or vidoe that they dont own just for entertainment purposes. It would make thing a lot less serious and fun. If you watch youtube the way I do, you would constantly hear some say something along the lines “ let me turn this off I dont want to get copyrighted”. What I find suprizing about Napster Documentary ‘Downloaded’ is that you see teens in college find a problem and try to make it easier for more people like him get access to music and it came with consequence that landed them with a lawsuit. Napster was close to destroying the music industry becosue people were getting access to music and downloading them for free. Music has a place in everyones heart but being about to access without having to pay for it was a luxury. Their was process to downloading the music but it was worth it. All the Seans wanted to do was help people get access to music but it was affecting the artist who make the music because they get to listen to the music for free instead of paying for it and the artist its self gets profit from it because making music is a job in a way. Once Napster closed, people found new ways to get free music. Napster was a start to something new until they found a way to stop people from getting free music and I think the change in the technology made it easier for people pay for music instead of for free. The first itunes to come out was very similar to the foundation of Napster even if they would not admit it. The Napster lawsuit was a eye opener for people. It was unfortunate.
The article “Yes, Copyright’s Sole Purpose Is To Benefit The Public“ states that “when originally written, the “science” part was directed at copyright, and it really meant “learning.” Going back to the original intent, it most certainly was not created to cover all kinds of creativity — but certainly the law has changed over time.” This sucks because now most creative platforms are targeted because of the rules of copyright. They have people that jobs are to sit down and track down people that don’t have using audio or footage they don’t own. Its annoying but I understand because you should make profit off your creations you took time to make and invent.
On a more serious note…………………

Hello, you have explained well all of the factors that are affecting the copyright things these days. Back in the 90’s that was really a big problem for the musical industry and a major loss in their business when people got to have the musical tracks from internet for free. Back then it was a major business market and was really a new thing for the people of that era to get the music for free and that’s what is so common for us. Now, I think none of us would pay a single penny to buy the music albums from stores because we have access to them on the internet. That’s what technology have given us i.e. free music.

Hey, you have explained well the copyright term and I agree with you that it is so annoying that some people just for the sake of entertainment use the videos of others and they do not consider the copyright act anymore. This generation is lacking the sense of copyright at all and while using the data that is present on internet we do not care about the copyrights because the young generation take everything present on the internet for granted. That’s what the major problem of present and that’s what we are facing because of the easy access to almost everything.
