Copyright

Copyright is fair because I wouldn't want someone to copy my work. I think that it is quite hard to understand sometimes and you would have to research what it is to get a full understanding. One thing that I found really confusing was what could be copyrighted and what couldn't. However, there are many good things about copyright. People can't cheat and stealing other people's work. You can only use up to 10% of the clipping or work. This is good is some way, but I think that we should be allowed to use more of the work if it is for a good reason. When the person passes away that copyrighted the work, it is still copyrighted for 70 years. I think that it should be copyrighted forever because someone else can get the credit for copying an idea that isn't original.

A band called Queen and David Bowie made a song that was number one in England for a long time. Vanilla Ice then took the base line from that song and made it "their song". Is that right?

In my opinion I think that school's should teach students what copyright is so that they understand how big the process of it is.
