CopyWRONG
See what I did there? So this week we get into Media Law. A few questions…
1. As iMedia designers, what role does the copyright law of others play in our work? I mostly ignore copyright regulations at the moment, but in what ways will I have to account for this in the future? Further, where is the line between “fair use” and “theft”?
2. How can we find a balance between piracy and corporate manipulation? The movie and music companies are relying on outdated sources of income while the rest of us are moving with technological progress. What’s the legal median between the pirates and CEOs?
3. What do I need to consider in designing my stuff, in regards to my own intellectual property? What process, if any, do I have to go through? Do I even care is my Flash project is stolen and not cited? How does this affect me?
