I found this video on YouTube and taught it was very interesting. This video is a bit different in that it discusses the negative effects of copyright laws. The presenter shows numerous variations of videos made by people of songs that are extremely popular in our culture. He attempts to explain how people are expressing and sharing their creativity with the world and that because of copyright laws, these people could be silenced. What I found even more interesting was when he talks about a mother who uploads a video of her young baby dancing to a song onto YouTube in order to show her child's accomplishment to her own mother. This woman is then made to take the video off because of the song owner's copyright laws. Even though copyright laws certainly have a purpose, this video argues that they can sometimes infringe on people's everyday accomplishments and their creativity.
