copyrights

I think the idea of copyrighting makes sense. Personally if I ever come up with an idea or product I am definitely going to make sure it is copy righted, I would definitely not want someone to someone to steal my idea as their own.  Copyrighting is a very good idea in most cases, while in others it is kind of pointless. As discussed in class characters like Hercules or other mythological characters are all commonly used as characters and yet companies copyright their character as if the origins of it were their idea in the first place, when in fact they were not.  On the other hand this version of it was their creation, so while i do not think they should be able to copyright the name I do believe they should be able to copyright the product they have created.
