Since I have my Own website now I need to know what copyright is and how it affects us in some ways, Often I use things from the internet to use on my posts to make it more appealing.

Copyright is a form of intellectual property protection provided by the laws of United States. Copyright is available for the original work of an author that are fixed in a form, whether published or unpublished. The categories of works that can be protected by copyright laws include paintings, literary works, live performances, photographs, movies, and software.

This post will provide a small overview of what copyright is, the rights of the copyright owner, The dictionary defines copyright as “a person’s exclusive right to reproduce, publish, or sell his or her original work of authorship (as a literary, musical, dramatic, artistic, or architectural work).”

A copyright gives the owners the right to:

The main goal of the copyright law is to protect the time, effort, and creativity of the work’s creator. As such, the Copyright Act gives the copyright owner certain exclusive rights, including the right to:

Reproduce the work.

Prepare “derivative works” (other works based on the original work).

Distribute copies of the work by sale, lease, or other transfer of ownership.

Perform the work publicly.

Display the work publicly.

Copyright, piracy, Web freedom, privacy, etc. are all emotionally-charged topics but they are also absolutely important to the future of the internet and our culture as a whole. It’s worth taking the time to get these conversations right.

I’m admittedly no saint here myself, but a little focus can go a long way into having a productive and useful conversation. When two sides focus on talking about the issue in front of them and find common ground there, a lot can happen in a short period of time.

So the class this week got canceled because of the snow and although I like snow a lot, but the class getting canceled was a buzz kill. This class is one of my two favorite class this semester. The reason for this is because unlike all the other classes this class always introduces all the students with new creative things to do. The things that we do are always done on the internet which is a very interesting platform for me. I consider the internet a very powerful tool, and It can provide us with an endless amount information and other cool stuff for example gif’s and videos and much more. Another reason that I want to attend this class is because this class meets only one day a week so only a handful amount of things can be done in that time.

Anyhow, back to the snowy weather. Since childhood I loved snowy day, making a snowman (as much can be done) to a snow angel were my favorite things to do. But as I grew older those things weren’t so fun to do anymore because whenever it snows, now I have to do the shoveling in front of my house and after doing all this I don’t feel like enjoying the weather or even going out.

For the first time in my life, I got to create my own website, with the help of professor Seslow, I was able to do this. Building a website wasn’t easy It was actually a lot harder than I thought. Any who I am excited about customizing my website and start publishing posts there from now on.

Although I ran into a problem which was when the site wasn’t live for a while. I had to ask my professor for help, and after sometime we decide to reach out to reclaim hosting. After contacting reclaim hosting they solved my problem within 10 minutes. This troubleshooting experience will be helpful for me in the future if I ever run into the anymore problem. At this moment I am trying to make it a site where I will be sharing posts about my video gaming and some other blogs, I hoping to make it a site so people can enjoy reading the blogs and watch gameplay videos. Without any more delay here is the link to my website.

So the Mid-terms are coming up next week, and I am really worried about my History course. The reason for this is because it is a lecture only course and I am not to good with lectures. The worst part for me is that there aren’t any notes to help the studying any easier. Basically, for this midterm, my professor gave all the students to study three chapters which are like 30 pages each and gave us Six essay question from which we will have to choose Four of them. Don’t know why but I feel that maybe I won’t be able to do well on this exam, maybe because studying in this way is new to me since I didn’t go to High school in this country. I just hope I can finish studying everything by next week and hopefully pass the test with a good grade.
