CopyWRITTEN

Being an English major with aspirations of being published in some field for something I have written someday, I was very interested in the Copywritting discussion. I was surprised to find that the copyright laws have been in place since 1790 and are even included in the Constitution, thus reinforcing the cultural diversity and development of our country's artists and innovators that we still embrace today. It made me more aware of music dowloading as my music library isnt exactly entirely purchased. I also thought it was interesting that Trinity has made deals with companies such as Microsoft to make their software available to the entire campus to download legally, thus reinforcing the economic incentives upon which the laws were founded!
