Today, copyright laws and fair use policy can be a tricky subject on the internet, and with the popularity of websites like YouTube increasing, the problem has only gotten worse. Currently, there have been many problems with content creators on YouTube being attacked with copyright claims when they had not done anything wrong. I am going to argue that fair use laws should be adjusted so that companies cannot take advantage of people the way they do now. Firstly, I would like to start by…

1. Get in touch with your attorney to review your lease. I suspect that the property owner knows the a/c unit is about to expire and the property owner is planning to stiff you with the bill of a new unit. The property owner stated if you do not change the filters, you are responsible for replacing the unit. I questioned why the a/c was being inspected now and not when you originally signed the lease. No answer was given. When you were speaking about the summer heat it sound like a motor…

You might argue that if we can’t find the owners, we should…

Blown to Bits Chapter 6: Balance Toppled Summary: Chapter 6 of Blown to Bits is a very interesting chapter. Chapter six dives into the often undefined world of copyright rights in computing. Copyright laws allow people to have full rights over their creative works and ideas, but this concept does not translate very well into the world of technology. Because information can be transferred with unparalleled ease in the computing age, intentional and unintentional copyright violations have become…

himself has said, “Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet”. This message sings true even today with the world’s current laws. Mark Twain would have no knowledge that his statement would be a sort of prophecy. Today’s copyright laws prevent the creativity of content creators all around the world. With laws prohibiting sharing of media and contradicting the laws of fair use, we as individuals are prevented from cultural exchanges and collection…

comparing his contract to slavery, changing his name, and fighting a seemingly never-ending battle, his contract was eventually changed to allow him the freedom he wished for as an artist. I will aim to prove that copyright agreements and contractual laws are breakable should the artist work hard enough to prove themselves. Prince Rogers Nelson left behind a legacy of creativity and commerce, proving that everything requires effort and maintaining your freedom can be a difficult feat. In 1977,…
