An Epic Journey from Dark to Light

Building a Better Copyright

Copyright laws supposedly exist to protect the individual in a capitalist society; however, perhaps these good intentions have been twisted to bleed people of their money. Most products today can be found with a copyright attached to it, but of course these are necessary to provide income for the creators. Where do we draw the line? Trying to gain complete control of a product isn't possible where there are competitors. In the case of unique works--such as music--the copyright provides income for the artist. Making it illegal to copy songs, however, prevents the spread of popularity. By redefining which products even require a copyright, maybe we can create a better situation for both parties.
