Copyright is for Copying

By -
Copyright is for Copying was the most interesting title to me because I know what copyrights are but I didn't really know the exact laws. According to law if you take a small piece of music from someone else and used it in a song of your own you are breaking the law. This came to a shock to me because I was under the impression that you could copy an entire song but if you changed the chorus or a couple of the words then you are not copyrighting. I am very glad that I read this reading becuase it taught me a lot about copyrighting and the way my mind was set was in a copyrighting way, so I enjoyed this reading.

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
