I feel that the copy rite laws are important and necessary for illustrators, authors, and all creators in general. These people work extremely hard to create music, or illustrations for them to just be stolen and used by someone else. I agree that copy rite is essential in this day and age with the Internet but I absolutely love the idea of creative commons, the little C's. This is a wonderful way for people who want to share there work freely to do so, and especially for teachers to share idea's. Educators can share new idea's and lesson plans through the Internet to thousands of people and it doesn't cost anyone a cent or an elongation period to get permission. I think there is a reason for copy rite laws but creative commons helps open them for the people who want to share.
