Free Culture 7-30

Free Culture, Lissig 7-30

While reading the preface and introduction of the Free Culture PDF, the overall of what was said, that I understood,  is that when new technology comes forth, laws would be made in order to protect business or the way products are used when something new is made that is meant to be life changing and forthcoming. The example though of the invention of the airplane,  I can relate to the man who found a little annoyance military aircraft flying over their home. this is because where I live the united states naval airplanes make routine practices making rounds and flying really low to land at the airport in repeat for about an hour or so, and each time the plane passes low, the house shakes like a mini earthquake. This also is really annoying when they happen to do the routine around 9pm, but at the same time I am in awe of planes because aircraft is a little fascination of mine, therefore I do not really bother and can think of the house shaking as a sign that the house is really stable. From a computer and society class, I can also understand how some laws are made when new technology are Developed , especially when things are made for the consumer and not military.  For example, there are more laws for books because they are the oldest form of media and there are less laws for computer and internet laws because they are new and when new laws are made, new advances to technology are already made, making the laws no longer fitting to the technology they are protecting.
