homework#8- joey

Videos like a fairy tale use was great way to explain copy right laws.  The video is fun to watch but at times was difficult to listen, being that every word was read by different characters voices.  The video talked about that when something is copy righted we couldnt use it for our own benefit.  In the case they used disney characters to show how every movie made was copy righted and others couldnt use it to enhance or rewrite like walt disney did for most of his movies.  Something can be copy righted to death, then 70 years after.  This has become a huge problem in our culture,  this stops many new artist to be limited and not use the art that inspire them.  The law was to maintain money for the owner when in reality most used copy righted work except back then things would stop being copy righted after 25 years.  People need to realize that being greedy is affecting new artist and making it very difficult on them.
