copy right questions

In Digital Literacy today we are looking into copy right issues. In CASE study 1 we had to listen to George Harrison's song ''My Sweet Lord'' and compare it to Ronald Mack's song ''He's So Fine''. I could'nt hear any similarity but then musically I am un trained I presume the copyright experts must have been able to prove it for George Harrison to be found guilty.In CASE study 2 the movie ''12 Monkeys'' used a chair on a verticle rail which looked very similar to a pencil drawing by Lebbeus Woods.CASE study 3 Keir Smith made a video dealing with copyright exceptions and fair use .It is a powerful statement but I think it is breaching copyright laws or is it creative use? Below is a beautiful image by Frida Kahlo which I down loddered[with an enormous amount of help from Max] from the official website of Frida Kahlo. I have listed it's title and where it came from so that I am covered by copyright as requested from our work book.

From Mum and Dad.
My Mum who is the Neverbloggednever person has shown that her life is different. By Jack (8 years)
i am still recovering from making the blog this morning. Tonight I have shown it to Bill, Jack, Sophie and Alex and discovered how to sign in and add to it. The world now looks just a little brighter.

first ever never ever blogged

I am sitting in the Digital Literacy work room doing this blogg . I seriously don't think anyone in the world would want to read it .Because sadly it will be just so boring and probably a waste of computer space . I'm doing this as part of my Digital Literacy course which totally freaks me out but I am trying and I have learnt alot with alot of help from Max and nearby suffering friends.The other subjects at Art School like Painting and Printmaking have been easier for me to get into.
