homework #8

The videos that were posted were very informative on copyright laws. It definitely gave me a better understands and more knowledge towards the actual law itself. Before viewing the video I did not know that dancing can have a copyright law. It really showed me that pretty much anything creative can be copyrighted. I believe however, that copyright should have a limit and that people should not be able to have copyright after their death. The videos explain the reasoning to this and that is because companies own copyright to peoples ideas that help them make money as well. A great example from one of the videos was Walt Disney. Walt Disney has been deceased for many years however, his memory and creativity lives on through the company walt disney. I think if there was a limitation to how long something can be copyrighted, it would create more value because nothing can beat the originality. If the material is that good or entertaining where it causes demand, then it will still be lucrative in itself.
