Copyright Documentary Film

There is a really fine line between what is legal or illegal in copyright. Using samples or downloading  songs could get you being sued; however, if it's in the public domain, it's fine for you to use. This, actually, made me think a lot about the difficulties that artist, musicians or film makers have to deal with in order to make arts. Copyright is a way for businesses to make money, not the artists who are actually owned the right for their products. In my opinion, I don't think it's fair to make piracy to this extreme; however, the laws still need to be there to protect the artists because they deserve the right to own their ideas. As I see it, the artists never ask for their copyright when it's involved, elevated. It's the companies where the artists sold their products that is using the laws to make money out of it.
