Copyright

I think that copyright laws are a good thing. It was interesting to find out that they are in place to promote the advancement of art and sciences. That makes sense, why would someone develop something if it can be stolen and other people could make money off it. Nevertheless, I do find them annoying sometimes. For instance, when they put an episode of a show on youtube and have to leave off the last 10 minutes. I really like the idea of fair use, it is nice that in a world where teachers make a small amount of money, that we at least get to bend the copyright rules a bit. I don't think I know enough about the complexities of copyright to actually suggest modifications. I know that they are a good thing, it can just become an annoyance sometimes.
