This weeks lecture spoke of, the trajectories of convergence part 2 which refers to the intellectual property paradigm and the content control industry. The basis related to copyright and the effects of monopoly’s before and after copyright.
Before copyright, property related only to scarce resources, such as land and anyone was able to freely copy, change or sell the content that was created by others. Ideas and projects such as books were considered as public commins that individuals were able to change and call their own.
Currently, in the United States the copyright laws state, that monolopy’s have copyright laws for 70 years after the authors death. Or if in corporate authorship the laws last for 120 years after its creation or 95 years after its original publication.
The below video explains how Walt Disney has kept the copyright laws for Micky Mouse and the overall changes to the copyright laws in the US.
Paris' Perspective 
Hi Paris, I thought this was a really informative blog post about the changing states of copyright. Your opinion on the matter, for example whether you think the laws are fair or overly stringent, would have made it even better. Your link was relevant and informative as well. Good job!
