Entertainment Law

I am currently doing a project on copyright for my entertainment law class. i have to use certain copyright infringement scenarios and compare them and then decide if there is an acceptable version of copyright infringement and what we need to do to fix certain issues that come from torrents and p2p programs like frostwire,bearshare, Limewire(yes i know its been shutdown) any input would be fantastic

Thanks Alot,
The Frog

  4. Copyright is just enforced too hard. It's not evil in its own right.....unlike the RIAA. Satan incarnate. Good post!

  5. make everything free for people under the age of 100. that way they can say they have some hold on things.

  6. Piracy isn't all bad. Its convinced me to buy some games which dont offer trials if I didnt try it before I bought it I would never have spent the money on it.

  8. Give some examples that prove that if musicians are smart, they could earn money.
    Oh, and with piracy, Music Companies earns less, musicians earns more. True story.

  10. Take in mind that without copyright and therefore earnings for musician those creative types could be discouraged from creating more content. That would suck for us all. I would view copyright-issues from the artists' point of view and how not to stop or affect the creative process.

  14. The way copyright is enforced is based on the assumption that less than a hundredth of a percent of the people who commit copyright infringement are going to get caught. So copyright owners try to sue for absurd amounts to scare everyone else into not infringing. A system that assumes it isn't going to work, isn't going to work.
