As the semester is coming to a closing I believe it would be helpful for myself and future generations of Copyright students if I made a recollection of my experience. It is safe to say that the course is an extensive study on how copyright affects music, and some other issues as well, but the course maintained a major focused on the music industry. However I was also able to take the information learnt in class and apply it to my own interest in films, understanding how exhausting and discouraging the process of filmmaking can be during modern day. It takes more to clear rights on a movie than to actually produce one. Copyright does not encourage cinematic innovation, as it makes it harder for current filmmakers to be inspired by previous genius of film. There is another aspect of the film that I also regret, the fact that we failed to discuss the culture aspect of the course. I would have liked to discuss the cultural reasons for the ways the copyright laws have become what they currently are in the U.S. but other than that I have enjoyed the course, and can say that Im much more confused than when I started, but at least I tried.
Happy 2009 everyone!
