@CodyMcneely1 I think b/c professors genuinely have an interest in exploring ideas & making sense of them through writing papers &sharing them #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

@abigailgraceb1 It can protect ppl who don't know a lot about copyright but it can also give protections that creators don't want #msupsu

@abigailgraceb1 There's a new book about Taylor Swift written solely by fans that probably qualifies #msupsu

@CodyMcneely1 Society gains! That's how new ideas get passed around &whatnot. Why does any writer write, but for the joy of writing? #msupsu

@dlnielsen1 It makes so much sense & it's disturbing that it's not included in historical accounts #msupsu

@emily2f25miller @darienmakaym I disagree, craft has something to offer beyond just what it is too, and a lot of art is purely commercial #msupsu

Really not ok w/ the implication in the conclusion that there is justification for the war on environmentalism but not copyright #msupsu

Damn Lessig, just blame Britney Spears for the entire problematic copyright model of the music industry #msupsu

Is it really possible to make digital objects like physical objects? (pg. 291) #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

Nevermind, I get it. #msupsu

285:"I have a teacher who writes songs 4 a living & who depends on the$ that ppl steal when they download songs from the internet"?? #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

I agree, calling kids who download music illegally "pirates" probably just encourages them--pirates are cool #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

pg. 279: "More creators need to take part in this conversation." exactly--not just the big corporations #msupsu

If academics don't make $$ off academic publishing, who is copyright protecting? #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

pg. 276: "An academic publishing a paper wants nothing more than people 2 copy & read her paper." less copyright would b useful here #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

I think Lessig might be a little off-base, saying issues of slander should never be taken to court (pg. 275) #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

@darienmakaym I think ppl VIOLATING copyright can have similar motives to plagiarizers but I agree, it's super confusing #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

@darienmakaym I would assume it does, but you're right, it's so common anymore for ppl to start doing something "for fun" then sell out #msupsu

[Web Writing @WebWriting]

pg. 270: "Magic phrases are incanted, as if by witch doctors aiming to ward off inevitable disease." Fave line of the book. #msupsu

@bbgdigital Then again, they may lose out on $ for those books, but gain fans who will buy their copyrighted work & get more revenue that way #msupsu
