HCC Iconoclasm Then and Appropriation Now Discussion

Increasingly strong ideals during the religious Crusades (Links to an external site.)of the Medieval Period, 1095 CE- 1300 CE, religious leaders on both sides, Christian and Muslim, sought to stamp out what they considered untruthful heresy. As late as the 1500’s, members of the Christian Catholic Church and the alternative Protestant sect, created an iconoclastic culture ( iconoclastic culture) that forbid certain types of imagery. The church also during this time, issued an index of forbidden books (index of forbidden books) that put limits on words.

Today we are in the midst of ideological disagreements, again, about the limits of protected speech and the free use of images.
Discuss: How does the control of images during the Medieval Period compare to the free-wheeling appropriation of images available today on the internet?
Discuss: Should there be limits on re-using images at all, today?

I just need simple answers, about 4 or 5 sentences for each. It does not have to be long paragraphs. Thanks a lot!!
