copyright

copyright is a way a making sure that the artists that have made  things get credit for the things they make. I think that it is a good idea, however it is confusing.  If they want everyone to follow the rules of copyright, then they should make it more simple and keep a rule that is easy to understand and never changes. I like the fact that is that once the artist is dead the peice of work is still copyrighted for 70 years. I also like the rule of fair use. Fair use  allows you to use a little amount of the product and not be blamed for copyright. But then it gets confusing again, if that little amount that you used it a main part of the song then you can be accused of using copyrighted things without the artists written permission.
