NO COPYRIGHT: We're born this way

  
             One of the most interesting topics I learned in my Internet-related classes Broadcast Communication 148 (Interactive Broadcasting) and Communication 150 (Internet and New Media Culture) is about Copyright or the Intellectual Property Rights of an author or producer of a creative product.

            Copyright or the economic right of the author to reproduce copies of his/ her work is a prohibition to one’s creativity to reproduce or to create a derivative to the author’s work or ideas. It is a big issue nowadays especially that the Darknet (Biddle and colleagues, 2002) or file-sharing websites and other applications are now available on the Internet which gives an easy way for the audiences to just download the files online instead of buying the album in music stores.

            I believe that no matter how strict the policies on copyright, the Internet still continues to serve as an avenue to express and to liberalize one’s self. Thanks to the Creative Commons for reserving not the entire right of the author and that only some can be protected by the law.

            This video challenges any copyright that the videos used herein have and also on the song Born This Way by Lady Gaga.
