Creative Gallery Ideas

I'm not entirely sure what I'd like to do yet. But perhaps some type of slide show, or short video with relateable music in the background. Or some how artistically and philosophically express what copyright is. I'm thinking now some how showing the distinction of the philosophical question of authorship, and the legal facts of copyright. I'm still not sure how I'm going to do this, but I think thats the idea for now.

I'm having some trouble taking my essay into one direction. I have plently of information, I am now just trying to direct it into my essay. It seems I have more questions to write in my essay than answers which I am not sure if that is ok or not. I'm hoping as I get more familiar with my text it will get easier.

What argument I will use for my paper

It seems pretty clear that I would use the "Remix" argument by Lawrence Lessig. He discusses copyright law, patent law, and how it should be decided and the problems that it encounters. This is exactly what my topic is on, so I will find a lot of information researching Lawrence Lessig, and using Dr. Baldwins slides about Lawrence Lessig. Also it would seem wise to dabble in the "what is an author" argument, to get a more philosophical and questioning stance in my paper. The reason why I want the tone of questioning and uncertainty in my paper is because copyright law in regards to multimedia is uncertain and vague. The combination of the strict legal laws of Lessig, and the philosophical argument of Fucco will compliment my paper nicely.
The themes and arguments of my project are: What is copyright, and how can or should it be monitured in regards to multimedia? Also what makes somthing "yours", and how can that be made into a structure or outline that people follow?
