The passage is interesting and difficult, only because when Geick
brings up other sources as references he doesn’t always give them due credit.
In the passage it was more so confusing because he didn’t make the people he
was talking about very clear. This is challenging because he’s stating some
really good facts but because we don’t know exactly who he is talking about all
the time it becomes hard to give the proper credit to the author. Which brings
us to the copyright laws we are discussing in class and how people want credit
for their work but now can receive only partial credit for the hard work they
have done.
As a different trade that needed or wanted credit for my
work like a designer, an artist, a videographer, a musician, etc. I would try
to solve this problem by some what creating another problem. I would solve the
problem by making my works free online for people to use and give them all
permissions for using my intellectual property. This would create another
problem however that even though im giving all my work away someone could try
to make the work their own by not giving credit and saying that it was their
piece originally. My way would be a very trusting way and a way to give to the
public so that creative minds could share the wealth and become stronger.
