Copyright issues have emerged since the introduction to print media. One of the main issues is intellectual property. Even professors and students run into a problem with this when photocopying materials that have been copyrighted by publishers. When going to a print shop, they are charged additional fees. Also, with the change in types of media, “if you copy a photo of your favorite star onto your website from a magazine, by law, whoever holds the copyright-the photographer, her photo agency, or the magazine itself-would like you to pay for the use of the photo. After all, they had to pay the celebrity and the photographers for the photo shoot and foot bill for travel, rental of set, and lighting and camera equipment” (84). So as you can see the idea of copyrighting print media is very fuzzy.
