Dear Technology, though you treat us very well, and we are constantly pressuring you into doing more, faster, to satisfy our impatient, demanding, desires,you have surpassed our control; thus, we ask so contradictorily if you could please wait for us to catch up.
As oxymoronic as this may sound I believe current copyrights protect media producers, harm media producers, as well as represent a third option.
After taking a course in Media Law, and ethics, I have realized how incredibly intricate the First Amendment delves into very specific scenarios. the law, and the precedence in such scenarios seems reasonable, and very well grounded. the foundation of our copyright laws does truly seem to protect media procedures.
Granted, I think that technology is moving far more quickly than our ability to create new copyright laws. everyday there are new opportunities to express ourselves, and be creative. the means by which we have new opportunities whether it is through paper and pencil, the web, or new apps there are more, and more each day and though our opportunities are spreading like wildfire, our ability to create copyright laws is comparatively stagnant. thus, media procedures do not have the same kind of specific safety as they once did.
However, we might be moving into an age were copyright does not have the same power as it use to. today, we can make a digital copy of something, and it is as great as the original, whereas before, a copy did not have the same quality as the original. perhaps we are moving into a time when the original copy is no longer as important as what it can become. when we add to an original work today, we add to something that was someone else's finished product. instead of sharing our work and watching each copy fade,we now have the option to watch every use grow into something greater.
