In today's technological world, I think copyright is becoming obsolete. I still believe that it is important to give credit to the creators of works, but it is becoming more and more difficult to keep the copyright information with the works with which they belong. It is increasingly easy to "save image as" without even noticing to whom the image belongs.
The question then is what do we do about it now? Do we just give up rights to any image we put on the internet (like we do with facebook)? Who monitors the images and copyrights? I personally just choose to be wary of what I post on the internet as I do not know who can take, edit, and use the information.
It's interesting to think about the rights we give up by posting things on the internet. Facebook is a great example. It's really kind of amazing the types of things people post for the world to see. Perhaps this is because we feel that our Facebook pages are still our own.
