"What Color are Your Bits?" Response:

The analogy compares the separated and remote distinctions in Paranoia to the issues that arise when discussing the multiple levels and differences between copyright situations.  The article uses the concept of color to show that content should not be copyrighted.  Just as color can not be adequately represented in the lowest digital level, so should creative content or ideologies NOT be made into user restricted content.  Copyrights cannot and should not exist in that manner.  The example given displays this Paranoia world as this dysfunctional and totally unbelievable society. The purpose of explaining it was to show how unreasonable the world is with such constraints. With the issues regarding copyrighting, so too could the internet be thrown into hysteria. Should we also consider the more recent disturbance of PIPA and SOPA? As we all might have found out today, these laws are in consideration involving the regulation and censorship of the internet in regards to piracy and copyright issues. Going back to the article, I think the author makes a great point. We cannot ever make copyrighting a perfect system. Things will be broke, and things will be stolen, but to try to force the situation would only make things far worse. He or she does however need to work on their writing ability. (As do I.)That article was confusing . . .
