I had quite a bit to say in the class discussion we had about this reading today. Being interested in the film and entertainment industry, I have kept a close tabs on what comes out and such. Sousa was worried that by allowing free media, we would lose our main contributors to the culture. I agree. We no longer feel the need to entertain ourselves with our imaginations because of the video games and movies so readily available to us. When imaginations aren't exercised, creativity suffers. It seems movies these days are all sequels to things that have already been made. We are witnessing the wilt of a once beautiful flower.
P: The purpose was to inform the readers of 2 different ways we as a society are affected by copyright laws.
T: The hearing by Sousa, as well as statistics and some defining of what a Read/Write and a Read/Only culture are.
I: The question posed to the reader is how much control should copyrights have?
C: The conclusion is for the reader to decide for themselves.
