My reflection in the film was that I never realized how easily you can copy someone else’s work and not even know it. It makes me think that if an invention can be copied that easy when someone writes a story or says something, could that be considering coping? What draws the line between coping and your own work and how does anyone know if it is coping when someone thinks of it themselves. There are so many questions that come to my head when I watched these films on coping and your own thoughts and /or inventions. I know when I think of some I get an idea from another thing that helps me writing my paper or start brainstorming but I never thought that would be considered coping. I also never thought that if you get your idea from something or someone the making or the person that thought of that specific thing could possible sue you, which just boggles my mind. That makes me think maybe that is someone’s job, suing people for coping or taking ideas from other people. Can I get in trouble for talking about the clips in this blog without their consent? Where is the line drawn either in coping or plagiarism in the United States today? It is just crazy what people would do with things they thought of, would I go as far as suing someone for using my idea or would I think, “hmm maybe my idea will making something better, and I might get money for helping production that specific thing. There are so many different question with many different answers!
