The “Idea” – “Expression” Dichotomy
No one can claim monopoly in the idea Why Idea until and unless expressed is of no use There can be one idea but thousands of ways to express it Remember you may have a great idea, but without small realization to express it in the best possible manner – it’s of no use

    At issue in the twenty-first century is the trade-off between the necessity of writers, musicians, artists, and movie studios to profit from their work and the free flow of ideas for the public benefit. Movie (and music) industry participants claim that encryption programs are necessary to prevent piracy. Others, however, including the defendants in cases such as Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley, 273 F.3d 429 (2d Cir. 2001), argue that the law should at least allow purchasers of movies, music, and books in digital form to make limited copies for fair use.…

    Copyright Report. Unit 39

    Almost 90% of the royalties collected by the PRS are paid out to their members and without this, many musicians, song writers, composers and publishers may not be able to continue making new music and in turn, killing off the industry altogether. Essentially, the role of the PRS is to make sure that the 10 million plus songs they manage are credited financially. The PRS will collect royalties on behalf of their members whenever their songs are played, performed or reproduced spanning across most businesses, governments, organisation, and educational establishments under licence. The PRS Music Licence will allow the user to use licensed music in a number of mediums such as Radio, TV, Online and Public Performances, each with its individual tariff. If this system didn't exist, how could music creators continue doing what they love and supply the world with new music? Copyrighting rewards the creator as and when his or her creation is used, re-played or re-produced.…

    Ownership vs. Identity

    I believe that ownership applies not only to real, physical objects, but also impalpable ones as well; one can own something, such as a pen or pencil, and also own a creation of the mind, like a thought or dream. It is clear that owning something is more than possessing material things, something like a concept or idea, and can then be developed into our sense of self.…

    Copyrighted works can be used in some cases without the permission of the creator of the original work. Under the “Fair Use” provisions of copyright laws, original works covered by a copyright can be used for the purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. The reasoning behind the fair use policy is because the works are not being used for profit or a commercial nature; the works are being used for…

    Also Jean-Paul Sartre claimed that ownership extends beyond objects to include intangible things as well. Basically, if you are adept at something and can perform a job or task really good, you "own" it. I also believe that this statement that Jean said was true. An example could be sports. Let's say you're really good at basketball and can shoot better than anyone else in the school. You "own" that level of skill that others don't possess. Other people can't shoot the ball as good as you, so they don't "own" that…
