Donald Trump to change the US Copyright Office

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has been President of the United States for a short time, but it has been more than enough to start changing things and creating controversy. Although at the moment it has not carried out any attack against Amazon or Apple, it does seem that it is doing so against Google.

Trump has started the procedures to change the country's Copyright Office, going from being an office that depended on the Library of Congress and related to the judiciary to now become part of the same congress related to the legislative branch. In other words, to be controlled by the United States senators themselves.

Donald Trump could have a conflict of interest with this change in the United States Copyright Office

This will make the Office more politicized and by extension is more restrictive with copyright, being a problem for Google's plans on the digitization of works and dissemination of digital content. The same problem that Google had in Germany and Spain with the news through its search engine.

But the news is even more controversial. Trump before president owns many companies and these could have benefits with these changes in the Copyright office, so it could affect not only the authors of the works but also all Americans.

I personally think that the most problematic thing is that This change that Trump will make with respect to his Copyright office is an example for many other countries and they do it, limiting the freedom of these organizations and also of the citizen, that reader who sometimes does not have to buy readings from 100 years ago. Furthermore, it appears that Trump has already begun to carry out his electoral threats. Who will be next?
