The populace is losing privileges more each time the copyright laws get altered. When it comes to music the people are under a microscope, but it seems music is not the only area being affected. McLeod on page 3 states that our freedoms are curtailed because the law has expanded to privatize an ever-growing number of things such- from human genes and business methods to scents and gestures. In my opinion I found the music copyright law very extreme, but the intellectual-property laws have taken a whole new meaning to extreme.
When a sample clearance-business owner on page 90 says that licensing fees are so high, “more people are doing songs without samples or trying to make songs where the samples are so obscure you don’t hear them.” I find a very big issue; this means that these copyright laws are making it a lot more difficult for an artist to do their job.
