Today in the lecture we discussed the notion of copyright is that although it is a lot more detailed and tricky than I initially thought it isn’t something that we automatically gain. Our ideas are not protected by copyright and facts are not protected by copyright. This means if you have some incredible idea for a film or painting or song etc., until you put those thoughts in action and create something it truly is anyone’s idea. What I found extraordinary was that copyright last for the duration of the author PLUS another 70 years on top of that! But what happens when something falls out of copyright? When work falls out of copyright I falls into the public domain. Some of the greatest work we know lye in the public domain such as Shakespeare and Beethoven. And what does this mean exactly? In essence it is open for the public with no copyright restrictions. Therefore we can take Shakespeare’s work and do an interruptive play or find easy access to his work.
