Being a Government and Law major I am particularly interested in the laws that protect the ideas and inventions of individuals. I would like to learn more about how to formulate and make official copyrights, patents and any other similar documents that show proof of ownership. Furthermore, I would like to know the penalty for violating these copyrights and in general what the law has to say about such documents.  Copyrights and protecting ideas is such an important part of our society especially with new technology which makes the sharing of it effortless.  This new computerized age has called for the changing of laws to accommodate the evolving technology.  These laws are an aspect that I would like to explore during this class.
