Copyrighting things is very important. It help us in many ways. Some benefits of sharing or copying work of another is that you can get new ideas and a new perspective on things. Some consequences are that its not your own work and you not doing anything so when you have to do it on your own you don't know what to do. You can detect plagiarism if someone has the same words exactly or almost the exact same words as someone else.  A few benefits of stricter copyright laws are that it will protect your work better and make it hard if someone uses plagiarism. Less strict copyright laws are good because it allows you to look and take ideas and use them to help you in your work. I feel like we should protect them less because I like to use some other peoples work to help me get going on mine or to figure out mine.
