I guess we can be happy that people are starting to notice that:
1. Copyright law has not kept up with current social norms and technology.
and
2. "Terms of Service" are often ridiculous and unreasonable.
- wglb 15y agoSo how is Federal copyright laws give the author of any copyrighted work (which includes photographs and copyright attaches automatically as soon as the work is created) the sole and exclusive right to publish and reproduce such work. not keeping up with social norms and technology?
- naner 15y agoTechnology: The behaviors that fall under "publish and reproduce" have drastically changed since copyright law was drawn up. Professionally reproducing prints and posting a photo to Facebook/Pinterest are very different actions that should be conisdered differently. Social Norms: Your daughter posts a video of herself dancing and singing to Justin Bieber to YouTube. You pin a photo from a famous photographer to your "Inspiration" folder on Pinterest. Most people feel copyright should allow this type of sharing.
