Copyrights Plagiarism and Fair Use

The assigned readings on fair use and plagiarism were long and boring or maybe it was because I read it after watching the videos. I find the videos very informative and yet entertaining.  The first video had me really thinking about how technology changed laws over the time in order to complement with technological advancements. In the video, Larry Lessig brought really good points on copyrights. He explained that copyright laws are restricting creativity and it can be prevented to benefit both sides. The second video was not only amusing but it was informative as well. While I was enjoying the video I learned many facts. I had no idea that copyrights last 70 years or 100 years if it is under a company.
