Copyright deals with the act of claiming rights to a certain piece of property. There are three forms of intellectual property. The first one is a trademark, or a specific mark or sign that identifies a commercial entity. The next form is the copyright where the person who writes an original piece of work is granted exclusive rights. The third form of intellectual property is patents, which apply to an invention to show who came up with the idea. These are the ways to claim the rights to something, and gives you the power to do what you wish with it. The same thing goes to record labels whenever they see someone using one of their songs without granted permission, they have the ability to file a lawsuit against them unless they are using the song for non-profit reasons. To me, copyright seems like a way to have control over what other people can use. If someone wished to use a certain song or logo at an event, they would have to get expressed permission before they could. That leaves me wondering if the people who own this property are more concerned with keeping the property to themselves, or are they willing to share it to people who wish to use it?
