Since 1999,Mr. Routson, a 34-year-old video artist who lives in Baltimore,  has been going to Baltimore area-movie theaters and has been recording what happens there with a small camcorder and then  showing the distorted results which he calls "recordings"  as DVD installations in art galleries.This man is obviously breaking the law of the copyright. which is what the whole article in the NYT is about.Now,concerning my work,I couldn't possibly be accused of breaking the law of the copyright because the objective of my wepage is to give my own opinion and at the same time a different opinion on Ruth Nestvold's hypertext called "Cutting Edges". The Copyright Act of 1976 protects "original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression.". Hypertext s could then be considered a non-tangible medium of expression. From what I read about Ruth Nestvold, she never had problems with people wanting to take advantage of her work, others than herself.
Copyright and copyright law is important because it permits an author to automatically claim copyright ownership and protection for an "original" work. When a book is published, the publisher expects the copyright law to protect its creative expression for the length of time provided for by the Copyright Act. Breaking the copyright law is considered a crime for people who are infringing the intellectual property rights of others and will be punished according  to the law in the respective state.
