Copyright

September 19, 2008           

I never really realized how important copyrighting could be. It was interesting to see all the rules that you have to follow in order to get information off the Internet and cited it. I thought it was a very tedious project. But I learned a lot from it. I was really surprised that the government wrote a book on how copyrighting is illegal. I knew about it but I found out so much more information on it. Since I am music major I was looking at how people can copyright music. I found it funny how people try to use some of the most famous tracks and just put different words and they would get caught. But you can make something up and then try to make something similar to that track and make a totally different song. All and all I thought this project was very productive and I found tons of information that could help me not only in this class, but in my other academics classes as well.
