This article is about an employee of a university library that was hired with the sole purpose of managing copyright laws with the library materials. This is a curious way of looking at copyright as it is usually not associated with gaining jobs. The laws could however benefit some professions such as attorneys because of the constant changing of the laws due to advancements in technology.
Furthermore this also shows what a huge impact copyright has on our lives. It is such a huge aspect in media that a university actually had to hire a person to manage it all. This also begs the question if the copyright laws are too much now which is why it has become such a large part of society. Personally I am fine with it because I would rather have too many copyright laws than too little which leads to people being taken advantage of.

Like any law, copyright would run the risk of becoming too big. All the details about what one can and cannot do will become too much for just one individual to think about at one time. Therefore, it does open the avenue of lawyers and specialists to work just on copyright cases.
Copyright, trademark, and patent law are all legitimate and popular fields of law study. I am not surprised that a university has hired their own lawyer, considering the vast amount of materials with copyright in a university (library materials, professor’s books and essays, student papers, etc.). I agree that I would rather have too many copyright laws so as to protect the creators of works.
