It Is Not That Serious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We spoke in class on Tuesday about Fan production. One thing that really caught my attention in the mist of our conversation is the topic of suing. I think it is foolish that big time companies would want to sue anyone who uses any of their material such as, music, songs, or a cartoon characters. In my opinion they should be happy that someone likes their stuff enough to even want to use it. Record Label’s especially should understand that some publicity whether it is bad or good, is better than no publicity at all. I am just saying if I was an artist like Beyonce and I clicked on YouTube and I saw someone doing a parody remake of my video, I would be glad to know someone took the time out of their day to idolize me. Disney, Record Labels, commercials etc… know that deep down inside a 12year old kid making a YouTube video singing a song, or made their own cartoon show with Mickey means no harm. I guess that does not matter because all the label and big companies see is money coming from suing. I think there should be laws that restrict the suing policy of such careless acts, especially when publicity brings more fans than a loss of fans. CopyRight issues take things a little toooooooo far.
