Intellectual Property: A Changing of the Tide

In my last post on intellectual property, I talked about how I thought intellectual property seems to make up people, kind of like a characteristic. Now I want to talk about how I see intellectual property as changing the world we live in today. Not only has intellectual property been vital in today’s time, but also in the shaping of this great nation we live in today. Think about all the individuals it took to create the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Many great minds took part in these historic moments in our countries history. And they, collectively, built a nation that has survived through some of the roughest times imaginable. Intellectual property is more than just a property someone holds, but it’s a responsibility that we all have to the world we live in today. What I’m saying is that we need to regulate some of the copy right laws we have today and build them to where they benefit for the good of society. Copy right laws seem to be holding us back from bigger and better things. People have thoughts every day, and once they are put out, there is a barricade put around them to keep others out. As history shows, if we could all put our minds together and build upon each other’s thoughts then we could rise to heights unimaginable to the human mind.
