Copyright

What particularly interested me was when we talked about Elvis. I found it particularly interesting that he was sampling songs from the African American community, but making his own spin of the song. It was interesting that the African American community was especially mad at him, because other African Americans were sampling music from other African Americans and there was no anger towards them. I also thought it was kind of strange that the only song that Elvis apologized for was a song that he sampled from a white singer. Also, I found the whole concept of the Real Book very interesting, and the fact that I have not even heard about it before. It seems to me to be the older version of illegally downloading mp3 files to your computer. Another thought is about the Mickey Mouse copyright in correlation to the copyright laws, which will be interesting to see if they change again once the copyright of Mickey Mouse runs out.
