Copyright?

I enjoyed the lecture today in my New Media class because I love design. I think the idea of Copyright laws are wonderful due to the fact that it tries to make others think outside of the box. These laws want artists of different varieties of media to create their own work and keep at it!

However, I think some organizations take this to a whole new level (Disney). The Disney Corporation is out for blood when anything Disney is used without permission. For instance, we spoke a while back about how a day care center in Florida painted the several Disney characters on the side of their garage. When Disney found out, they threatened to sue the day care if they did not paint over their garage immediately.

I am interested to see what happens to the Copyright laws when we hit the year 2020 or so... just under 70 years since Walt Disney passed.
