Copyright reflection.

Today our assingment was to find out what copyrights mean. Well I learned that copyright is a law in the United States that protects the artist composers, and others of piracy. This law contains lots of limitations. I also learned that some cases are exceptional like using copy and paste for educational purposes. Sometimes you even have to ask for permission and present the MLA. The assingment told us to compare some songs. That really open my eyes because I found out that some artist can get some ideas from other songs. they might not even know they are doing it. This law was passed mainly because of the computer use. Is all due to computers. I found this assingment to contain a lot of information. The assingment also wanted me to take some quizzes. In my first quiz I got 90 percent. In my second one I answered number 6 wrong. The question was sort of a trick question because they asked if a word or phrase is looked at the same way as a song. The answer was no because phrases are qualified as a public domain, which means that is public and that is belongs to anyone. So watch out when you copy and paste.
