Copyright laws
I think copyright laws are overall good, but at the same time bad. The good part is that if you create something unique, it becomes your intellectual property and is protected by copyright law which will prevent anyone else from claiming your work as theirs. Also no one will be able to use your work without your consent. This is great because you are given full ownership and credit. This is also a way to profit from your creations. The bad part of copyright is all the copyright ownership from large corporations. Large corporations buys the rights to hundreds and thousands of work by artist and profit from it. This creates a problem for those artist who are not represented by these corporations. These larger corporations have almost complete control over the mediums in which the artist’s work gets to us. So as a society, we lose out on the smaller talent which may be more talented, but does not have the financial support of the corporate giants. Another negative about copyright laws is that artist cannot work like they used to. For years, artists have always sampled their predecessors’ work and have incorporated it into their work; making a completely new work. Now with copyright law, an artist is in fear of using such a method for fear of legal action by the original work’s owner. Such companies are specifically created to sniff out any unauthorized copyrighted work in order to make money from it with legal action. This hinders creativity and quality.
How I get my News
When I am up in the morning, I usually tune in to the morning news program on fox 5. Sometimes I will pick up one of those free newspapers when on the subway, the METRO and AM NY newspapers. Every now and then I will also buy a newspaper, either the Daily News or the New York Times. When I have a time before work, or while waiting to go to a meeting, I will go online with my phone and visit CNN or NY times websites, I usually look at the top headlines, world news, business and technology sections.
First Blog
Hello this is my first blog for LRC103. My name is Ernesto Huezo Jr. I am a Business Administration major. My plan is to continue my education after LaGuardia and work towards my Bachelors and hopefullysurpass that. I should be graduating from LaGuardia by 2010. I am currently taking English 103, which is mostly a research paper writing class and I thought this class would fit in perfectly this semestor, being an internet research class. This way, what I learn in this class can be used in my other class. Both Classes also equal to 3 credits, which is also perfect. I look forward to learning how to maximize my internet research techniques with you all this semester.
