wk1 Project Blog
Thru out my AR experience, it has been really up and down. To be honest, I really cannot believe that the journey is almost over. I am so use to doing stuff for the project that it is going to be quite strange not doing anything for AR anymore. Overall, I got my paper done ( thank goodness) and I am getting stuff together for the website. My friends thru out the experience have been awesome. They have been so open and helpful to get stuff done while also being very honest with me. I could not have done it with out them, literally and figuratively. I wonder who has been helpful in your AR experience? What did they contribute?

Bryan,
I work in advertising, and I have to deal with copyrights on almost a daily basis. You seriously have to be careful when it comes to your work. Internet and media is such a big bredding ground of your work to get copied and ideas taken. And the worse part is you can get around copyright laws by just doing slight changes to your media work. The concept of copyrighting is to protect people's work from being stolen. However, when these laws were established no one had any idea the internet would on day come and take over. The premise is a good one, but the execution needs to be adjusted.- February 5, 2011 9:18 PM
EDM613 MAC - Week 1 Reading - Copyright
This is my husband's band, Echo Road. Feel free to listen to or
download their music at echoroadband.com
Reading and watching the videos about copyrighting, and fair use, was daunting! There is no easy answer or clear right/wrong thing to do. I believe that artists are inspired by elements in their world, including music they hear. So what's a person to do? Be careful and always ask permission. Better to have requested permission, and find out fair use applied, then to not ask, and break the law.- Hatchepshut1950 said...
Catherine Yoho,
Copyrighting is extremely daunting I have to agree. I understand both sides of the argument and why it is such a passionate debate. I think the advent of the internet as really caused it to be one of the biggest debates when it come to having information so widely available. Personally, I think the laws need to be adjusted to catch up with what going on with the internet.- February 5, 2011 11:26 PM
wk1 reading: copyright issues
Every day I work, I create video for my company that is seen by millions of people. But that video is protected by copyright that my company owns. I cannot post my work on youtube or anywhere. And that's a personal problem as I want as many people as possible to see my work. At the very least, I want my friends to be able to see it.
Additionally, not every piece is saved by my company. The best thing I ever produced (and was copied by Nike and NBA Productions, poorly, except for getting Marvin Gaye's version of the National Anthem, which is awesome) is gone forever. That is sort of devastating to me.
I understand the point of copyright but there will always be pirating. The trick is to embrace the new techniques and create a legal version of that. 5 years ago I suggested making shows available for download and I got laughed at. Every single person laughed at the idea. And now it's one of the biggest priorities of the company.
You just have to wait for the younger generation to get in there and try and change these laws. Like I said in a comment, the musical genius of an album like Paul's Boutique cannot really happen nowadays. That needs to change.
But you really have to give the law some credit. Being able to use any copyrighted work for parody or education is great.

Working in advertising, you learn very quickly about copyrights and what you can and cannot use for legal reasons. We might come up with a great idea for a client,but you cannot use it because of copyright issues. We have to be aware to make sure we are not taking an idea.
Not only do we have to be aware to not use copyrighted ideas, but we have to make sure the advertising we create is copyrighted and guarded closely. You have to be careful when it comes to who gets it, where it is saved in the system and etc. These pieces of advertising are usually worth a lot of money and you do not want it in the wrong hands.
After working in advertising, I have a deeper understanding of why we need those laws. Interpretation is the highest compliment, but credit should be given to whomever does the work. I think the laws for copyrighting needs to be adjusted when it comes to music and media because it is ever changing and massive. The laws right now do not cover media enough because the internet and media is in constant change. I think copyright laws really need to address that.
