Copyright.

We live in a world full of media content, from songs, movies, games, online videos, TV series, etc. With all of this readily available content comes a wealth of fan made creativity and ideas, however it is a fine line when using content owned by others, content they have copyrighted.

The argument comes when somebody re-shares, or uses some one else’s content for their monetary gain. But then there is the other side of the coin, where you could argue that people sharing and remaking or mixing content that is not their own is fair use once the original publisher has made their content public, and that it could also be seen as free advertisement, as the content may be seen by users who would have not come across it originally.

But it is a fine line between fair use and copyright, and moving into the future we may see similar systems like article 13 in the UK all across the world.

    Good argument for use after publication. However, don’t forget that monetary gain isn’t the only issue. Creating and copying without any financial benefit sadly still breaks copyright. As absurd as it sounds.
    Could mention the alternative to this (and potential cure): Copyleft? As it gives authors the right to allow copying so long as the copier doesn’t receive a financial benefit. Just a suggestion.
