Figured it out

This is what I'm doing for my final project.

Copyright law is extremely intrinsic, complicated, and situational. Due to technological advancements, not just songs, but sections - mere seconds or single notes at times - can be sampled and taken from other songs in order to embellish a song or to create a new one entirely. Being able to really determine as to wether a song was stolen from someone else, a part was borrowed, or someone simply created a song that sounded similar to another is nearly impossible. In other words, it is all grey area. Thats what this documentary will explore. The grey area that is overtaking that black and white in terms of song and idea ownership.

In order to do this, a five people will be interviewed. Three musicians, a lawyer, and a studio producer/engineer. All five have years of experience in the music industry or the court house and have dealt with the law in terms of music. The questions will be derived from past court cases, but it will not be entirely Q & A format. There will be a set of pre-determined questions to initially ask the interviewees, but as the interviews progress, most question will most likely be off-the-cuff.

The Questions will have to be from both sides of the spectrum - from those who are pro-copyright and those who are anti-copyright. If both spectrums are explored, hopefully, an argument can be made for both. If an argument is made for both, then it will challenge the viewer to make a choice or to realize that the extent to which a song is borrowed or copied is situational.
