Woo-hoo...

...I got a comment on my blog! I know, I know. How corny am I to be celebrating a comment on my blog? But, it is great to know that there are other people actually reading the blogs that are posted. I wish my classmates could read the blogs, but they are probably as busy as I am with all the work that has to be done for these classes. Speaking of which, I am almost done with my books that need to be read. I am planning on spending the day at the library tomorrow to look up other resources for the paper I plan to write. Since most of the subject matter has to deal with Copyright in the digital age, that will be my paper. I was a little confused, though, on the assignment. I thought it was a compare and contrast paper, which doesn't allow for too much of a point or conclusion to be drawn. In a post with tips for the next paper it was said we were to write a paper with our own conclusion and supporting resources plus the books. I wish I would have known that because that would have been much easier to write then the compare and contrast that I wrote.
I am completely stuck on the fence here with Copyright. After reading the books, it seems as if copyright laws have gotten out of hand. The very nature of a copyright law would not permit what the basic function of a computer does, which is to make a copy of a program or page as it downloads it onto its RAM (if I have gotten this tricky piece wrong, please forgive me. I don't have the books to double check). So this means, every person who owns a computer is not obeying the copyright law. It sounds ludricous that every person in the united states should be considered as commiting a crime by their computers basic function. This leads to one conclusion: change the code. It would be far easier to change the code then to change the functions of all computers. If all computer functions would change then Americans would have to buy new computers to comply with the law, which I would not do since I just bought a new computer. Therefore, it only makes since to change the code aka the law.
