On Wednesday April 14, 2010 our graduate student Brandon Brown refreshed copyright law for media to my peers and I. Not only did it turn a light back on that was growing dim, but it also brought with it a great debate about common knowledge of copyright.
He gave us the task of going out into the SFA student body to conduct an experiment. It was simple, but the answers would vary greatly. After we split up into groups we had to go find a random student, which age, sex, and classifaction did not matter, and ask them two things. It was to be recorded on Flip Video. The two questions were thus,
A. How do you feel about Copyright Law?
B. How do you think Copyright Law affects America as a whole?
Sara Nicols & I interviewed Senior Sean Doyle and he explained his feelings about the subject. Overall he agreed with Copyright Law and thought that it was the perfect thing to keep a persons idea and creative rights to that person and not exclusively to everyone else.
At the end of class we all watched the interviews and talked about the subject before being let out of class. The Graduate Student did a good job explaining the subject matter and I left class feeling refreshed on a subject that is important to what I want to do in life.
