Week 2- blog 2 Copyright

I believe this struggle with copyright in the U.S. has to change due to the advent of the Internet. When record companies are taking down college students for what they’ve done we need to step back and look at what reality is. I came across an author one time on the Internet who published his entire book on the Internet for free. He said that he had sold far more of that book than any other book he’d written because of the exposure it had gotten on the Internet and people wanted a hard copy of it. They say (recording companies, Movie companies) they are losing money. Is this a proven thing or an assumption. I know of other countries like South Korea that post it all on the Internet.
