B.     Reflection 

If copyright law is implemented in the Philippines, I’m sure that a lot of students and even professional will imprison. We have a lot of cases like this in our country, most specially in the public schools. We cannot avoid photocopying because of the fact that books are expensive and we cannot afford to buy one. Im sure also that even teacher doesn’t want to do this but because of the sad reality we are force to do this.

As student of state university and poor students, I cannot afford to buy books for my own use even if I want to. Instead of buying book I just photocopy the page of the book which will supply facts to my reports and give answer to my assignment. These are sad reality that we cannot avoid. At least, now we have this fair use, which exempt us in some law of copyright, but still even the fair us can be violated some students and teachers because of the fact that we don’t have money to buy books.
