In-Class #12

The videos we just watched in class really opened my eyes. I had no idea that so many ideas had been copied over the years. Music, movies, software, everything! I thought it was funny how he compared all the star wars movies to other movies that were previously made. Also, I liked the way he compared the songs that he was talking about. Some songs sounded very similar, if not the same! Some, however, I had NO IDEA how they even thought it was copying. I could not tell if there were any similarities at all. The computer was another big thing that was copied. Who would have thought that something so common now would have sparked such high court cases we have today. Like the case between Apple and the Android. Apple wanted to sue because they thought their technology had been stolen to make these other phones. In all reality, Apple was the company to originally steal these ideas. It is just crazy to see all these movies and songs, that you thought were original and nothing like this has ever been done, be copied from other ideas. Or even just taken that idea and modernized it. I am actually really glad we watched these videos. It was a major eye opener! I probably won't ever look at a movie or song the same way as I did before knowing that the idea or some parts of it were copied from something else.
