...COPYRIGHT...

Ok we lost the case ... but the final speech was not so ugly ... : )
I want to thank all my team a lot because we work well together, we try to win the case "Walt Disney" against Eric S. Faden with all our hearts and maximum effort. We were brilliant and we had all the chance to win but unfortunately we know that the defenders had bribed the jury ... (I refer of course to Maties and Thais!!!).

But speaking of serious things, the discourse on copyright is very important for people, like me, would like to work in the field of journalism or writers.

Copyright gives the author of an original work exclusive right for a certain time period in relation to that work, including its publication, distribution and adaptation, after which time the work is said to enter the public domain.
Copyright has been internationally standardized, lasting between fifty to a hundred years from the author's death, or a shorter period for anonymous or corporate authorship.

But however the culture of the Read-Write of the web is based on remixes and Mash Up and it is redesigning the network as we know it, using imagination and creativity of young people that often ignoring the copyrights laws.

This culture is threatened by those who would like to maintain some economic control on creativity and, while there are many who support this new collaborative and democratic currents, the old entertainment industry continues to increasingly consolidate its grip on intellectual property through restrictive laws on copyright.

Each country still has its own copyright laws and I think that everyone should know them, because it is very easy to break them.
So so be careful when you create videos for the project DIKULT 204 or if you put on your blog music videos. Be careful also because we are in Norway and the laws are very rigid and strict!
