Today’s Class

Today’s discussion was particularly interesting in the way that people linked the play Arabian Nights to what we have been discussing recently. When I viewed the play on Wednesday, I was primarily focusing on the story, and wasn’t thinking about how the play relates to the issue of copyright laws. However, now it is easy to see how the two are related. Of particular interest to me was the discussion of the improv. part of the play, where the class came to the consensus that this particular scene would actually be owned by the actors themselves. Intricacies such as these are what made this discussion particularly insightful.

    I wonder if the production was recorded. If not, is there a written record of the improvs? If there is no record of it, does that change the owners’ copyrights to their speeches in the play?
