Copyright

I learned many things about copyright from the notes in class. I thought it was very interesting that copyright is older than the Bill of Rights. I also learned about people getting caught for illegally downloading music and how big of a deal it really is. I found it amazing that one person got sued for $250,000! What this person did is extremely unfair. They stole hundreds of songs which is cheating the artists of these songs out of a lot of money. I think that downloading one song is not bad, but then again one song can lead to many songs and soon you could end up like that person who was sued for 2.5 thousand dollars. The RIAA really needs totake their attention away from these people who have only downloaded one or two songs and focus on the peple who illegally distribute music for a profit. I think that the artists will be fine with all the money they already have if someone just downloads one song of theirs.
