Once Upon A Copyright

I watched the Disney Copy Right video and was blown away. It was incredibly smart and helpful. I tried to imagine how many hours of editing it took to splice all the words they wanted to say into the movie. Not to mention hours of watching the film and making sure they were up to par with Disney copyright laws. It was incredibly witty and I watched it twice as well as shared it with some of my friends. I would definitely show this to my class room if I were in upper level middle school and high school classes. I think it is important to know the laws of copyright because negligence with the law will not be tolerated.

At first it was a little hard to hear because of the splice but once my ear was trained to listen in was really fun. I had no idea about the 14 year ownership, then public domain. I have not had a use to copyright anything of my own, but I will definitely start looking up copyright laws. Especially in art. If you have not had a chance to view this video please take a few minutes and enjoy:
