"Hey Y’all,
This is my opinion while Nathan Boehme does a great job at explaining what a copyright is a legal term that refers to the author of an original piece of work being the sole owner of that work, which gives that person the right to re-publish or alter that work however they like. While I do agree that copyright helps to protect the rights of the creator, I do find that there are times that this infringes on Freedom of speech. It is a very thin line.
The use of todays technology makes it difficult to identify who was the original author of work with minor changes one can make it their own. I find it interesting that copyright is not looked at like flattery, if the correct attribute is provided"The profit of copyright is the killer. I am completely convinced that Xtranormal.com started charging when Geico used it in an add. If there was no profit gained by geico then it may well still be free.
