Copyright Laws

I'm still not really sure what to think of copyright laws. I think they definitely have both pros and cons. I think in the case of education they are pretty helpful. They allow for teachers to use materials that they need without overdoing it. It also makes it so that teachers won't be wasting time in classes by showing things that are longer than necessary. They also place lots of restrictions which can be very annoying. I think overall they are for the better in protecting peoples time, effort, and work that they have put in.
