Music Copyright Laws
If you want to publish your music, you need to get it copyrighted. Copyrights usually last about 50 years, and you get them when you first publish your music. Having copyrights to your music makes it so people can only copy it for school uses and they can only copy a small amount of it. The current year for Public Domain music in the U.S. is 1922. The difference between public domain and proof of public domain is having a copyright.
-you CANNOT reproduce the music or lyrics
-you CANNOT distribute the music or lyrics either for free, for no profit, or for profit
-you CANNOT perform the music or lyrics in public
-you CANNOT play a recording of the music or lyrics in public--even if you own the CD
-you CANNOT make a derivative work or arrangement for public use in any form
Johnny Cash vs Gordon Jenkins
This particular case hit the courts, but was settled out of court. The original song in question was recorded on a concept album called Seven Dreams, the song in question was part of the ‘Second Dream: The Conductor”. When the lyrics to the two songs are compared side by side, there is no question that they are kissing cousins. Though Johnny Cash’s version is more fine tuned and shows more experienced talent, some of the lines are word for word and some of them have a word or two difference. It took fifteen years, from the release date of Johnny Cash’s version, for Gordon Jenkins, the original song. owner to sue. The 1968 out of court settlement approached the hundred thousand mark.

Emerging Technology
Technology has changed our lives a lot throughout our lives. One example would be the telephone. In the past, phones were used to only make a phone call from a very old fashioned phone with the piece that you hold to listen and talk into. Phones that have recently been created have digital games, texting, and even GPS's. They can also take pictures, go on the internet, play music, and you can use email. Also, doctos are now able to cure diseases that were once fatal because of all the new medicines that have been founded. Another way that technology has advanced brings us to the concept of the Internet. People are now able to acces chatrooms, use email, create personal or public blogs, and the biggest new invention is to shop online. You can now go online to your favorite stores, or websites such as Ebay, Craigslist, etc. to purchace items using a credit card.
Theses are only a few of the thousands of ways technology has changed our lives. Not all technology is good, but it is not all bad. Technology will continue to change and grow imenesley as the generations pass. This is only the beginning.
