Macleods article seek to demonstrate the ability to point out the conditions shaping the illegalities of art. It can be seen that throughout the process of modernity, man has seen considerable challenges related to copying, defaming, and using symbols to connote a different meaning. In essence, man has responded to these with caution - establishing specific control mechanisms (intellectual property, rules, copyright, etc.) to justify their ability to create better means of understanding and analyzing the trends brought about by modernity and pop culture. What remains to be seen despite this is the split of interests and interpretations by law concerning the debate between artistic freedom and the idea of copyright and artists protection. These standards in turn became an important issue as elements of politics, economic capacity, and vested interests became embedded in the struggle towards finding the appropriate answers to these questions.

Reacting to the article, the capacity of understanding freedoms and exhibition of ideas within the realm of the 21st century greatly corresponds to the debate concerning protection of intellectual properties and that of the freedoms human beings enjoy. Utilizing the article of Macleod correspond to a better means of understanding this debate better and correspond to the capacity of infusing the familiar elements revolving around how people continue to attribute and reference their individual contributions and artistic innovations with that of the norm concerning how it should be protected and be exercised with proper respect. These clashes then incorporate the challenges of todays society and how the interpretation of standards coincide with striking a balance between these two ideals.

Looking at the article, I came to realize and pay considerable attention to the functions revolving around the familiar practices and boundaries between freedom and artistry. In essence, Macleod seems to hold ground not only in our relationship with pop culture but the democratic society we live in. However, it does not mean that we should undermine the concept of protective standards that protect artists in their pursuit for innovation and personal contributions. Seeing this, one might seem to question the viability of Macleods arguments since it undermines his capability to recognize the plight of innovators and argue that such illegalities surrounding the field of art continues to become a part of reality one that needs to be accepted and responded upon.

From my point of view, the capacity then to understand this debate considers not exploring who is right or wrong. Rather, it constitutes the manner in which individuals point out their beliefs and contribute towards establishing familiar patterns to meet in the middle. However, since society continues to be influenced by social standards and norms, it is crucial then to analyze this issue in detail and establish a purpose in correlating the precepts that shapes policy building in terms of conveying ideas and establishing meaning to others. Given the numerous accounts provided by the Supreme Court towards the issue of freedom of expression and intellectual property rights, one can then establish that the process remains to be subjective. The process the of synthesizing these approaches then relate to the capacity of how each party provides the value of their arguments and defense.

In the end, I do believe that the process of labeling artistic work as illegal remains to be a politicized term used by individuals and institutions to establish a standard for artists to consider. However, due to the diversity and different notions related to interpretation, acceptance, and analysis, the process of defining what is illegal or not remains to be an important aspect to consider especially since the corresponding inputs provided by these arguments remains to be blurred and flawed. Such directions then create aspirations to further opportunities to handle our principles accordingly and alongside this advocating the common pattern that induces the establishment of something that is relatively fair to both artistic and societal standards.
