Reasonsfor this ranged from inheritance disputes to hostility between spouses. But, many of thosewho had poor relationships felt guilty. Although most people admitted to some lingeringrivalry, it was rarely strong enough to end the relationship.

　　The first copy right law in the United States waspassed by congress in 1790. In 1976, congressenacted the latest copy right law, taking intoconsideration the technological developments thathad occurred since the passage of the copy right actof 1909. For example, in 1909 anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a literary work forpersonal use had to do so by hand. The very process imposed a limitation on the quantity ofmaterials copied. Today, a photo copier can do the work in seconds. The limitation hasdisappeared. The 1909 Law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings nordid it anticipate the need to protect radio and television. As a result, violations of the law andabuses of the intent of the law have lessened the financial rewards of authors, artists andproducers. The 1976 copy right act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has clarified thelegal rights of the injured parties and given them an avenue for remedy. Since 1976 the acthas been amended to include computer software and guidelines have been adopted for fair useof television broadcasts. These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflictthat followed in the wake of 1976 legislation. The fine points of the law are decided by thecourts and by acceptable common practice overtime. As these decisions and agreements aremade, we modify our behavior accordingly. For now, we need to interpret the law and itsguidelines as accurately as we can and to act in a fair manner.
