This week in class we learned about intellectual property. How to safely not accidentally steal someone else’s work and to speak up if your work gets used without your permission. One such example of this was someone who had made a meme. A government official then used that meme to advance their political campaign.

I found it interesting that someone had the courage to do that. As sometimes people who are famous will use their status as such to get away with things like taking something belonging to someone else. So to know someone stood up for themself made me quite happy. Especially as someone who does some pixel art on the side I am worried someone may take my art and use it for their own without crediting me or my permission. So, if that were to ever happen now I think I would communicate with the person that the art belongs to me.
