It's Raining Cats, No Dogs

The tools I used to make this picture were the magic wand, the marquee tool, and the eraser, all of which I used in the program Fireworks. Each tool i used to edit a picture of two kittens fighting. I erased the background and just left the kitten. The kitten is on a different background of a sky. I made a copy of the same kitten and rotated both into a falling position. My end result, was this picture.

What Have You Learned Today About Copyright?

Today I learned about copyright that which pertains to Brian and Sarah. I learned that Sarah can register her poem and then file a lawsuit for infringement. She would be able to have a case against him and maybe receive royalties for the song that was made with her poem as lyrics. Sarah may even win full custody of the song as her own. I also learned that Sarah had her own copyright of the poem already. As soon as she wrote it in that journal of hers, she had a copyright of it.

You Stole My Heart And Song

1. Is Brian right?

I believe Brian is right and wrong. He is legally correct when it comes down to whose song it is. But in reality, Sarah did write that song and it belongs to her. Sarah should get at least a percentage of the profit that the song has made.

2. What should Sarah do?

Sarah can't do anything about Brian actually stealing her song. The best thing she can do is copyright her poems that she still possesses, and see if she can make one of them a hit song just as "Love Alive" was.
