The Implications of the Shift from Analogue to Digital Photography: The Ideals of Originality, Truth and Authenticity
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper on the implications of the shift from analogue to digital photography. With the recent shift of analogue to digital photography, critics cannot help but wonder what the implications of this change will be in regards to the ideals of originality, truth and authenticity of the work. From a traditional viewpoint, Benjamin and others argued that art loses its authenticity and originality once it is mass reproduced because art and photography have an intrinsic link with time and space which relates to these two aspects. In addition to the fact that digital photography can be mass reproduced in an exact manner, it also lends itself to being altered and manipulated quite easily. While this may imply that all original components of the piece are lost forever, some graphic designers have recently expanded this component to create a new field to allow for original technical work which is considered reflective of modern society. While Baudrillard stated that the media has turned modern society into one which is devoid of authentic experience, some critics allow that digital technology may actually provide a further medium to create authentic and dynamic experience.

The Sony Bono Copyright Term Extension Act
[ send me this paper ]
A 35 page paper discussing the legality of the latest revision of the copyright law, passed in October, 1998. The Constitution specifically states that Congress is permitted to 'promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.' This latest revision of the law neither promotes progress nor gives authors exclusive rights to their own work, but rather prevents works from reaching public domain for up to 95 years after publication. The paper argues that the newest revision of copyright law is unconstitutional, using the language and intent of the Constitution; practical examples of supposed infringement prior to passage of the most recent law; and previous Supreme Court rulings as support for the argument. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
