Copy Rights

This past week learning about copyrights was interesting. I definitely learned a lot because I never knew about some of the information we received. Copyrights is protection provided by the USA to give the authors ownership of their work. This includes literal, musical and more. A fact that I learned was about the number of years it is covered after the author has died. I just assumed the copyright stayed forever. Anyone can receive a copyright on something they created. The symbol for the copyright sign doesn't always have to be shown. I thought that was tricky because you will have to be very careful attention. In the end of the week we ended with an interactive jeopardy of copyright. It was so much fun. Even if we didn't know all the answers we still learned a lot. I feel from having the class discussions, I learned more about copyrights that I didn't know.
