Copyright
Hello! I’m doing some research on copyright for music and lyrics, here it is! When you write music you have copyrights upon your completion of the work these copyrights last up until 70 years after the composer’s death or a total of 95 years. Having a copyright means you own the exclusive rights to the composition also know as Intellectual Property. The current year for Public Domain in the United States is January 1st 2019. The difference between public domain and proof of public domain is, in public domain anyone can use your work and if you have proof of public domain anyone can use your work but they must cite or give you credit.
In order for you to better understand what I just told you. Here is a list of the rules for copyright music and lyrics.
• Students and teachers creating educational materials must follow the guidelines and site the source
• You can use up to 10% (no more than 1000 words)
• You can use up to 250 words of an entire poem
• You may not use more the 3 poems or portions of a poem by one poet
• You may use a signal photograph
• You may not use more than 5 images by a signal artist
• In plays, movies or TV shows you can’t use more than 10%
• For music you can only use 30 seconds
One famous case on music or lyric copyrights you may or may not know of is Vanilla Ice vs. Queen& Bowie. The song “Ice Ice baby” by Vanilla Ice has some of the same rhythm of the baseline as the song “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie’s. Vanilla thought by changing the baseline rhythm he could avoid questions about crediting Queen& Bowie. Although the case never made it to court it was clear the Vanilla stole the sample without permission. The group of artists settled out of court for an undisclosed but probably high amount on Vanilla Ice’s part.

Hey guys! I watched a movie on Identity Theft the other day in Online A which wasn't half bad to be honest and here is some feedback!
The mistake that Nancy Trejos made that caused her to be a victim of identity theft was purchasing with a debt card. The problem with this was once someone gets your information and buys items you may not be reimbursed with all the money you lost. I feel identity theft is a more common problem these days because of the fact that it is extremely easy to access information with all the purchases made online or over the phone today.
The documents or personal belongings a person would have to obtain to steal ones identity are, your Social Security number, drivers license, Credit card number or financial documents from your trash or mailbox. Good ways to protect yourself from identity theft are, avoid caring around any identification with you social security number on it, shred financial documents and check your credit report regularly. Also just use standard common sense. Never give out personal information over the computer or phone without knowing who you’re giving it too and stop and check to see what you have in your wallet before leaving the house in case it does get stolen so you are aware of the information a person would get if they obtained your wallet.
When identity theft is committed I feel the person who is to blame is the person who stole the identity. It is most defiantly not the fault of the person whose identity was stolen no one would purposely bring that upon themselves. The thief should not be running off with other people’s personal information and committing fraud. It’s unnecessary and rude. Not to mention illegal!!

Fire Scout UAV makes first biofuel-powered flight!!!
The US Navy achieves the first biofuel-powered flight using its MQ-8B Fire Scout Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UVA). The flight took place on Friday over Webster Field in St. Inigoes, Maryland the aircraft was unmanned. The aircraft ran on a mix of JP-5 aviation fuel and plant-based camelina cutting carbon dioxide output by 75 percent when compared to conventional aviation fuel. This new technology is part of a bigger push by the Navy towards increasing energy independence and clean energy economy. When the Navy finally achieves this goal the environment will be better off due to the cut back in pollutants released into the air by aircrafts. Also they could apply this to the airplanes that regular US citizens use today to travel from place to place.
