homework#8

I never knew copyrights had an expiration date. I always thought once something is copyright that’s it. The copyright is forever. Another thing I had the no idea of was the guidelines behind copyright laws. The guidelines are very strict. To think I could get in trouble for a using a few minutes a movie.  When if the use was for educational purposes. The video on fair use which used parts of Disney movies really makes a point of the fair use laws. Law does not allow much use of the movies, only a few clips.  Many people are outrage on the copyright and fair use laws. They said the laws are too strict and buts a stop on creativity. I could understand, but it not a big deal. I want to give people credit for having the ability to come up with ideas.
