In this video, Margaret Gould Stewart explains how working on copyright laws progressively from both sides (user and original artist) can benefit everyone in the long run. Essentially, when copyright laws are bent but not broken, it can actually be beneficial to the original artist, despite the bad image “borrowing” music might have developed over time. By being more lenient with copyright laws, it not only gains exposure for the original artist, but it can also allow everyday people to use and manipulate different parts of a song. In a similar aspect, GoogleBooks allows people to read certain sections of books… you can’t read the entire book, but it’s nice for people to have access to a preview before purchasing the product. Now there are definitely two sides to this argument… some people are for copyright laws, as explained why by Kenyon & Hudson in “Without Walls”, and others are not… or as we watched in class, people who prefer accessibility over restriction can be referred to as ‘copyleft’. What are your thoughts on this? Are you copyright or copyleft?
