Copyright Criminals

Copyright and the use of sampling is very fair in the sense that other people have to pay for the use of other peoples sounds decals and other art pieces is very much fair and that would make sense to ask  the artist for their approval and even compensate them for the usage of their works. The only exception to this is id the idea of item being used is either improved or if the person who was using the idea was in the same room or if the thing being copied isn't copyrighted. Or if the idea is actually in the beginning stages of development and isn't even ready to be copyright so basically when it is still an idea.  I feel like we need need to sample music because we have gotten to a point in music when we as a people have basically accomplished everything as a people  in terms of music so we all kind of need to remix the older music. "Blurred lines lawsuit"Blurred lines by Robin Thicke is a prime example of this "Sampling" law if he would've contacted the Marvin Gaye residence and would've led to this song being a smash hit if he would've gotten the rights to Marvin Gaye's beat to the song "Got to give you up"(Kory,III). Since he didn't do this the Marvin Gaye residence sued Robin Thicke for 7.3 million Dollars, This is a prime example why sampling is such a big deal and is serious and you shouldn't try and steal others work and expect nothing to happen. but in the long run it doesn't sound bad if the song has aspects of other songs doesn't make it bad when in fact it could make it sound better, But original song sound just as good so as long as its catchy its good.

Media bias is the foundation of media because this helps the news company uses this to target an audience and make the company get more views or even intrigued more readers to tune into their papers or articles with “clickbait”, clickbait is the most common form of media bias because it has very controversial topics and very liberal or any other viewpoints. This bias is very common on apps and news outlets on Facebook and twitter and even certain news websites and stations, and i'm not gonna lie and act like I never once clicked on this clickbait titles and articles just because they generally appeal to just about anyone and they are everywhere. An example of this is Facebook where they have articles that have Breaking news or shocking in the title are proven to be false news. Biased news isn't bad if you are just trying to find out about the topic but if you are trying  to research the topic, Because the news articles only show their point of view and don't tell the whole story only the points they feel are worth highlighting. The story I chose involved the media releasing false topics just to get more reads and even going as far as to slander the president and then once confronted to the actual press they say it's a parody to actual news and “get off scot free”. We will never be over Media bias because the fact that people will alway click on these terrible title and obvious false stories.
