Copyright laws are very controversial issues. It is hard for the government to regulate these laws without being too strict or too lenient. After reading the article in class, I began to think about how easy it would be to break a “copyright” law and not even realize it. A copyright will last your entire lifetime, as well as 70+ years after your gone. People value information differently. Some may think copyright laws should be tightened on books, but not as strict on music...or the other way around. But government has found that it is easier to draw a strict line than assign different types of information certain copyright laws. I believe there is too much of a grey area to determine when someone is “stealing “someone’s idea. Copyright should be determined by morals and your own judgment for most cases, and others you may have to turn to the law.
