exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed,
audio, video, etc.: works granted such right by law on or
after January 1, 1978, are protected for the lifetime of the
author or creator and for a period of 50 years after his or her death.
Quote of the day “ If you create it you have the right to protect it and legally claim it as your own.” Nathan Boehme
Hey Y’all,
This is my opinion while
Nathan Boehme does a great job at explaining what a copyright is a legal
term that refers to the author of an original piece of work being the
sole owner of that work, which gives that person the right to re-publish
or alter that work however they like. While I do agree that copyright
helps to protect the rights of the creator, I do find that there are
times that this infringes on Freedom of speech. It is a very thin line.
The use of todays
technology makes it difficult to identify who was the original author of
work with minor changes one can make it their own. I find it
interesting that copyright is not looked at like flattery, if the
correct attribute is provided.
I love to hear your comments.My Response:
I
have to say YES it is a fine line. I am an artist. With that being said
if I were to have someone use my images in an ad for a company or for
profit business with out my permission I would be a little more than
upset. Or lets say for someone to use my ideas as their own YES I would
be a little more than upset. I am currently walking that thin line with
the company I work for. They want my input but however they haven't
settled the legal side of that yet. Every so often I get asked questions
about what my ideas are. I am very cautious as to what information I
provide them. Why? Because if they have no intention on moving me
forward I want to reserve the right to use my ideas else where. They
know and I know that my input could set them apart from many companies
that provide similar services. As long as its still in my head its still
my intellectual property.
