This week I was blessed to learn all there is to know (sort of) about copyright and the limitations that it imposes upon using other peoples work as well as the access others have to our work.

Did you know that as soon as a work is published on the internet it is protected by copyright? WHAAAAT? Me either. Gosh it’s interesting. I could talk about it all day.

In all seriousness, breaching copyright laws can have serious consequences which is why it is important to credit the original sources of ‘borrowed’ materials.

Copyright serves the purpose of protecting the work of people. For real. As a lady who strives to be something in this media industry it is comforting to know that there is protection for my ideas and works.

Someday somebody may stumble across this marvellous blog and wish to pinch a little something something without my permission- this somebody will not do so without punishment.

Burn baby burn.

Your always,

Georgia King

Hey world. Today marks my first venture into the land of blog. The internet and the George have not always been the best of pals- nor has any source of technology. I am in fact, writing to you on my new amazing Mac Book Pro, identical to the other one I had that I spilled water on. It doesn’t work anymore. Which is why I have this new, amazing and most importantly, dry laptop. So thought I’d let you know a little bit about myself because if you are reading this you may read some other potentially interesting but ultimately mundane entries over the course of the next few months of me at uni, and maybe even beyond through to life as a fully fledged adult.

So. My first name is Georgia. My middle name is Louise. And the last is King. Georgia Louise King is the name, writing’s the game. At least I wish it to be one day. Right now my only published work is this blog. But a girl can dream and this one most certainly does. Other note worthy things about me include my love of food, specifically of dairy products, even more specifically of cheese. I also run a lot, which I like to think counteracts the love of cheese but I am not wholly convinced. I ran a marathon the other weekend (my first, good on me) and it was not that easy. I ate some cheese that afternoon. Then i dropped some on the floor. I couldn’t bend down as my body was wrecked so I had to leave the cheese on the ground where it lay. This was one of the toughest times of my life. Seeing the cheese, but not being able to grasp the cheese. It could reach me, but I couldn’t reach it.

So that’s a little about me. Please come on this funky journey with me as I learn to articulate the intricacies of life in a legible fashion. No breakthroughs will be made, no incredibly deep thought either. Just a gal and her dry keyboard taking on the days as best a twenty something can. Nothing special. Just George giving it a go.
