Informing Due and Intellectual Property Short Essay

Turn in your long Informing MLA Style paper.

Then type up your Intellectual Property short essay. Here is the prompt:

"Intellectual property" is a term that takes the idea into the courts, as the government attempts to define and enforce just which ideas belong to whom. For example, the Australian courts ruled that Men at Work had to pay for the use of a two-bar tune that the world associates with Australia.



Think about the difference between "having" an idea, "using" an idea, and "stealing" an idea.


Come up with a statement reflecting how you think we should treat the ideas of others, and then support your thesis with two or three paragraphs. Use specific, interesting examples to back up your views.

If you need more time to finish the short essay, you may hand it in on Monday Nov. 28.

Have a lovely holiday.
