In class the other day we learned about copyright laws and the fair use clause. I think that copyright laws are great to protect the people who have creative talents and abilities. If there were no copyright laws the creativity of people may decrease because they do not get anything for their work. The times I do not like copyright laws are when I want to use something for selfish reasons. When my friend has music that I want, I am only thinking about me and not the people who produced the song. A popular thought is that the artists have enough money and they don't need anymore so I don't need to buy the song. I don't have the right to say when someone has enough money or not. I need to buy the songs myself so that I do not violate copyright laws.
Copyright laws are extremely vague. If I were to change one thing I would make them a little clearer. I personally do not do well with having to interpret what something means and if I am allowed to do it or not. Also, I did not know any of the copyright laws before this class. I think students need to start learning about copyright laws when they are young so they grow up knowing what is and is not allowed.
