Copyright Laws

I've recently re-watched RIP: A Remix Manifesto. It's such a great documentary dealing with copyright laws. I re-watched it because in my English class we're doing a project and we got to choose our topic over anything we're interested in and I decided I was interested in the Copyright Laws in the music industry. So, my project is over how major record labels, and major corporations such as Warner Chappell are restricting the people's creativity and freedom by heavily inhibiting Copyright Laws. Basically I'm going to be writing about my opinions on how the Copyright Laws need to be revised to give people the rights to make mash-ups, to use sampling, and to take from the public domain to create original pieces building off of the past without having to pay a huge sum of money. I'll also be talking about how the world is ruled by money and the human mind is run by making a profit. I'm really excited for this project and to object my opinion!
