Copyright laws as we all know is a good way for people to protect their products from other people copying their ideas and making their own profits off another person’s ideas. While these laws seem to make a lot of sense, there are some who make a case that copyright laws aren’t all that they are cracked up to be. Lessig points out that copyright law, “clearly favors one type of culture over another.” (Lessig, 97). Current copyright laws are significantly favored towards the professional groups of society while it hinders less professional and amateur business groups. The copyright laws almost hindered the evolution of music as well. When music artists began using classic hits to recreate new hits, big corporations began to crack down on the copyright laws that protected the older music. The new wave of music began to generate a lot of following and with that a lot of money, so the corporations wanted a piece of the pie. (Amen Break, 11:30). In the Ted piece, he talks about the Supreme Court case over the use of flight and how some felt one needed permission from the land owner to fly over their land. But Justice Douglas felt that this case must not win because, “the doctrine protecting land all the way to the sky has no place in the modern world.” (Ted, 4:41). I think this sums all of these ideas up. Copyright laws are only benefiting a certain group of society, while it is hindering the evolution and development of new ideas and concepts. Because one group is benefiting in a such a major way, the copyright laws are going to be hard-pressed to change, but the benefits that could come from change, could mean a shift in the way society works together as a whole.
