its a carnival get it?

fair use seems like too much laws for a concept that is not entirely concrete. america is an electronic, cyber space nation now. we are all connected by a digital web, which you cannot put boundaries on. and that which you cannot grasp, you cannot regulate. the laws seem obscure, like those writing them don't really know what they are saying. and based on the incident in florida, that seems about correct. for a student to take notes on a professors lecture and it to cross copyright laws? isnt the point of a lecture class for students to take notes? it seems like we are trying to complicate our own lives, because humans feel they need to own everything, even their words and ideas. the study kits look like they should be considered cheating, and handled within the school. not a copyright issue. there is no correct side to this issue, because it shouldnt be an issue. fair use isnt a carnival, its a circus.
