Hey hey! Welcome back!

Topic 4: Questions
Two questions regarding copyright, public domain, and fair use:

1. What happens when you break a copyright?
2. How long do you have a copyright?

Answering my questions:

1. If you break a copyright without getting permission, then you have to pay a fine if you do not remove it. In some cases you can go to jail. According to Chron, "Anyone convicted of criminal copyright infringement faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both."
2. A copyright only lasts for a long time, the rest of the authors life plus another 70 years. But if the author is anonymous, then it can last anywhere from 95 to 120 years. 

What is a Creative Commons license and why is it important to us?: 

• A Creative Commons license is a copyright license that gives copyrighted work the ability to be freely distributed. It is important to us (and for the assignment) because it lets the authors share their work without making people pay, and also so people can use their work quickly and easily without any worry about copyright issues. 

Pictures for my book trailer:

The entire book involves time, and what better way to represent time than a clock. Instead of using a plain clock, I decided to use one that was a little more 'fancy' to show something different than regular time.

The second picture I chose was of a dog, which in the book is the narrator's nonexistent but ontologically valid dog. Since it does not say what breed the dog is in the book, I just found a picture of a 'mutt'.  "Ed is just this weird ontological entity that produces unconditional slobbery loyal affection." ― Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

Since I went with the dog, one of charles companion, I decided to represent TAMMY as computer circuits." Sometimes at night I worry about TAMMY. I worry that she might get tired of it all. Tired of running at sixty-six terahertz, tired of all those processing cycles, every second of every hour of every day." ― Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
