RIP

Mmm! I really liked this movie haha! It was very entertaining and I really had no idea people like Girl Talk existed. I really find copyrights to be annoying when it comes to these types of art styles. I remember reading in the packet that its common for people to appropriate over most things in life, including habits and relationships. Appropriation also happened throughout history, such as the Romans adapting the Ancient Greek customs and religions (I think that was one of the examples). So why hasn't it been an issue until now? Unless someone out right takes something mine and calls it their own (plagiarism of course) I don't see what the issue is. I would actually find it flattering for someone to take something I've done and produce something amazing from it! I guess because people have "something" to lose, mainly money. But do they really own their intellectual property or just those large corporations/record companies? Well we discussed this in class of course. Behhh! How would we change the copyright law though? Like we discussed too, everything has developed case by case, so it really depends on how stingy or laid back the "victim" is. Why does everything have to be black and white? :O
