I found this interesting website i’m using as a source for my essay and I came by a few videos about copyright. The main argument is that copyright was created for the publisher’s benefit and not the author’s protection and therefore copying isn’t “stealing” but simply sharing ideas. I like the comedic approach and simplistic view to a widely debated complex topic in this video.
This is partly what I am writing my paper on, that in reality, publishers can and do abuse copyright laws for monetary gain. Also I enjoyed the video, it was cleverly written.
My paper focuses on the economic impact of copyright law and how it makes up a huge chunk of monetary gain in the US. It is also interesting to see how the WIPO impacts the international market of books and other medium.
