Copyright and Fair Use LR
Well, it was hard to pick just one. In my personal opinion copyright laws are crazy, there are too many rules, vague rules that can be gotten around in some way. Copyright laws mostly have a lot to do with money, if money didn't exist then what would a copyright law even mean? Copying in general is hard to determine, because a lot of this world is constantly stemming from other thoughts and ideas and advancing in this way. But anyways, I chose number 17 to go into more depth about. This is the one about taking pictures of a street and posting them on the web. It states this is okay, which I agree with, but then there is a catch. The catch is that if is a landmark like a theme park in the picture then the owners of this facility can ask you to remove the picture from the web. Everything in this world is owned by someone or something, the road in the picture is owed by the town, so do they have the right to ask you to remove the picture if you distort the road in a way that they don't like. I just don't see where the line can be drawn in situations like these.
