This week we got a chance to learn about copyright laws. I already knew what copyrighting was all about but there was still some valuable information I gained that I wasn't really aware of. One issue that I wasn't aware of is that teachers cannot bring a video to class from and show it to their class because it violates copyright laws. We basically learned about things could be manupilated and changed if it isn't copyrighted. However if it is you shouldn't mess with it at all.
The creative commons might be really helpful in my field of broadcasting because in this field videos can be re-produced and put online where it shouldn't be. Therefore, with the copyright laws falling into play whoever decides to tamper with any videos will be in deep trouble. This will keep all our footage protected and being manipulted.
Since this is an important issue here's a link with more info. ----> COPYRIGHT LAWS
