It is with this First Amendment that allows us the right to the freedom of the speech, press and discourse, and through cases in the Supreme Court, the freedoms have extended to all aspects of life. Therefore, the censoring of any material, including in the arts and entertainment industry is not and should not happen in the land of the free.

The enduring fascination for people is that they want law to be flexible in the matter of copyright. This was clearly expressed by Ed Mayo, Chief Executive of Consumer Focus quoting "UK copyright law is the oldest, but also the most out of date. Before addressing the question it’s important to look at the history and definition of UK Copyright law. It has grown from this beginning to form the main legal basis for the international publishing industry, which contributes so much to literature, learning and culture not only in the UK but it has crossed different nation’s borders.

Parodies are often confused with satire, both involve the use of a copyrighted work but parodies criticize the original work and satire comments on something other than the original work such as society . Works of satire usually are not protected by the fair use defense whereas parodies have the potential to by protected by this defense. The four factors in Section 107 that determine fair use are (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature

Freedom of expression, set under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, is one of Canada’s most valued rights in the bill of rights of the Constitution. It has paved the way for the society in which thirty-five million people reside today. With this level of influence

Britt Christensen, freedom of expression is a double edged sword. Its benefits to society are tremendous, leading to a more healthy economy. He references studies that show a correlation between freedoms of press, expression, speech and economic growth. Nations with a healthy, growing economy, steadily implement more freedoms to their people, and as freedoms grow, so does the economy. A nation that cultivates a free environment for the artists is cultivating a capitalist-minded environment from which money will naturally find its way into the pockets of the people. But there is still the prospect of 1st amendment-like freedoms not being completely flaw

The “caveat” to the expressive use exception will have a substantial chilling effect on First Amendment protected speech by increasing the likelihood that publishers,

It is interesting to see what peoples’ thoughts and opinions are, because this piece was written before there was even a case. This article shows what citizens’ concerns are, and it is only focused on what is currently happening and recent, similar cases. I think this article also helps the reader connect more with problem at hand for the students, because in the article they mention the students more and how this is a loss for

Censorship is altering or blocking certain material from media, internet, and books. With the emergence of different communication technologies, this has been all-pervasive. This is most seen in television programs. There are different disputes as to whether it more harmful than beneficial .Many proponents think that the use of it will establish a balance in what is shown in T.V shows, while opponents are criticizing on the foundation of threats and violations that it poses to people’s right to speech.

By looking at these examples in the bigger picture, the vicious cycle created by publishers becomes evident. Students find themselves forced to buy the books the professors assign, they must buy them new in order to get special access codes, and then they have difficulty selling the books back. Not to mention the fact that the release of newer editions can leave many students stuck with a book they do not want and more debt they cannot afford. This cycle created by publishers works by continuously finding new ways to charge students full price for textbooks while simultaneously finding ways to release newer editions on an almost semester-by-semester basis. The result: increased textbook prices and an increasing financial burden on students.

There are four elements to determine something is fair use based on the copyright act of 1976: is the purpose for educational purposes or commercial purposes, is the nature of the work copyrighted, is the amount of the portion related to the copyright as while and finally is the effect diminish the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work?

Question: Identify and discuss these copyright challenges in the modern digital economy using examples from case law. Examine the recommendations made by the ALRC for the introduction of ‘fair use’ in Australia?

Being frustrated is disagreeable, but the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want. For almost a century now, a great many intelligent, well-meaning and articulate people have argued eloquently against any kind of censorship of art and entertainment. Within the past twenty years, courts and legislatures have found these arguments so persuasive that censorship is now a relative rarity in most states.

It should be noted that often that the criticism should not be taken seriously and instead give fuel to promote change, just as its purpose suggests. It should be no surprise that satire is able to spark a controversy, especially in the sense of crossing lines and saying things that should not be said, but if a positive change is made, then satire has served its purpose. Satire is an art form which is protected under the First Amendment as a freedom of expression. However, this freedom has slowly become a more dangerous form of art than it had been in the past. In order to prevent these dangers, regulations should be set into place. Though satire is protected by freedom of speech and expression, there should be certain limits put into place to prevent any further
