COPY RIGHTING IS RIGHT!

The laws of copy righting something today is one of the most honest and well protected rules for inventors, creators and developers in our modern day society. Basically the law of a copyright is keeping safe the ideas and developments that were first brought into our community by the talented people from those thieves who try to act upon them already. The first laws of copy rights had originated in Britain in the 1700’s, however the first object to have its own copy right act on it was the Statute of Anne. What in reality gives us the copy right laws that are still in tact today is from the Bernie Convention in the year of 1887, which went out and set up copy right protection. At first during this time copy right was usually just used in terms of putting protection on books and maps, which were vital aspects of people’s lives in those centuries. As time progressed, so did technology and its industries, as well as copy righting. As these aspects all grew, they had direct effects on each other. The more inventions, developments, ideas and industries produced, the more the copyright protection expanded over our society. Everything began to have a copyright on it, it was a new way of security for the people of this time with these gifted ideas.

Copyright laws are definitely a necessity for our community today as was as much of one since the 15^th and 16 centuries. People would be able to copy others work as an infringement. Sometimes these people were not aware that the works were already invented or developed, but not often. They would be receiving credit for works that they say they had come up with, when it actually should be credited to someone else who had that idea or development before them.

Today copy right infringement is much more common then it once was. Many different ideas are being produced and people are rushing to get theirs copyrighted. The problems that arise here are ones between the general public and the content creators themselves. What the problems that they run into is that the creators who are having their ideas copyrighted are either seeing others (general public) use their ideas at no expense, where they think that there should at lease be some sort of required payment of some sort. On the other hand, the general public feels that they shouldn’t have to pay anything for the use of others ideas. This is where the actual process of copy right infringement comes into play. The general public starts robbing ideas and stealing the creators own ideas as their own. What I think should be done in order to keep this sort of problem is that the action of the federal government should be increased, in favor of the content creators position. What should be done is any sort of case or situation that comes up dealing with copyright infringement should have legal action taken up with it. For example, a suspect who has committed their first offense of copyright infringement should have to pay a fine and also serve some sort of community service or jail time. With each additional offense committed that can have a case, the fine should grow larger as well as the time served in jail or the community service hours. To an extent, for example on the 4th of 5^th committed offense of this crime, a permanent jail time with bail amount should be submitted to the suspect. This proposal of mine is pretty basic, but also very flexible. There are many ways in which this solution can be twisted and turned in the right way that would punish the suspects of this crime. To them it might not seem like a big deal when they are committing this infringement, but in the end it is the law that wins.
