The current US copyright law is that after the creation of intellectual content, the author has ownership until 70 years after their death or if owned corporately, 95 year after publication. This means that anything created in 1949 is now public domain. Something that I have been interested lately in is a YouTube channel where part of the channel explore songs that sound ver similar. Seeing if they are different enough or simple enough to be defined as fair use.

It dives into whether or not songs have plagiarised content and whether or not they have credited other artists or label. The thing I find especially entertaining about this channel is that the YouTube creator has intentionally used songs where the musics rights holders agree to keep the video up and just earn a share of the revenue the video generates.

Your remediation is great! A very engaging post as you have used the analogy of a iconic structure of Wollongong to link this weeks topic. You also used the discussion points of an youtube channel that centralises its posts around plagiarism, I feel like this will something good to check out in deepening my understanding of this weeks topic. Overall a great post with some unique outlooks!!
