Many things took place in Thursday’s class, but my favorite part of the entire class period was the discussion of the knockoff Harry Potter books. The example given in class was very poorly done, and made no attempt to hide the fact that it was a copy of other source material. Like many other examples of copyright infringement seen in the class up to this point, this particular example came from China, a country notorious for violating copyright laws. It makes me wonder what other popular works from our country have been copied in one way or another in China. I’d imagine that there would be other hilarious examples.
