6. COPYRIGHT- IS IT LOGICAL?

Last week, the “copyright issue” was discussed in our class. We have learned that if there is a copyright image in a text or any piece, you should get permission from the owner if you want to use it. I think it is really nonsense. In my opinion, if you cite the source and tell the owner’s name, there should be no problem. It is really a hard process for anyone to reach to the owner and ask permission for using maybe a one image to be used. I don’t know if anybody wants to struggle with this process. Also, one of our classmates asked Sonja, what happens if the owner is dead. I think this question shows the absence of sense of this “copyright issue”. I admit that if someone takes other’s work or idea, he/she has to say where he/she gets it and I think it is enough for that
