Creative rights

Since 1700 the copyright has been around, Grey also tells us in his video the law has became more strict. Creator’s works being protected by copyright laws, until after they pass away. The question is if these laws are restricting us from being truly naturally creative, are they choking creativity? Lessig talks very passionately, mentioning our children are being effected the most by these strict unfair copyright laws. Disney and other  corporatioms protect their works. Disney however has played a big role in lobbying to extend certain copyright laws. Copy Right Term Extension Act has also been nick named Mickey Mouse Protection Act, because of Disney’s involment to extend copyright laws. After viewing Fadens’ s video I searched Wikipedia for Disney and copyrights and  found out corporations’ creative works have the longest copyright laws. Even readimg Center for Social Media’s document shows how much concern educators have to not break any copyrigjt laws. Which leads me to think if our creative rights, are being hindered.
