Explanation of copyright law and Fair Use using clips from one of the worst offenders, Disney.

The rules of fair use is explained using Disney animations.

[This is a simultaneous higher-quality upload of the same vid on YouTube. It was a videoresponse, so don't be surprised if it doesn't make a ton of sense.]

For Thaumata: Just to let you know I'm hearing you and I'm agreeing wholly. ;)

I'll see you on Splice Music! but... I tried to sign on tonight and I got a blank page! Aah! Let me know what's up-- I'd also like to continue this discussion soon.

Do I need to license my stuff with Creative Commons licenses as well as a remixer? Have a great weekend, Amiee. :)

You gotta love that overlooked stray "x" in my username in this vid. it was normal before I exported the file. lol. oh well, whatever, I'll call it "a stylistic flair" and I can overlook it. ;)

Once again, YouTube's compression MURDERED the text. The song incorporates some remixing of Thaumata's original response to me; as well as some original beats and music from myself (PaperPhoenix).

I guess I'll call it "Thaumashup Response" by PaperPhoenix.  less

<a href="http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2007/01/bush-is-ignorant-and-extremely_29.html">Bush is Ignorant and Extremely Dangerous</a>. I am   more...uploading this video here since YouTube has removed it.
There was no justification for removing the video. I used 18 seconds of audio, with one still frame in order to comment on an extremely serious matter where the President of the United States makes another false statement. I also used 7 seconds of video without audio to critique the segment as well (it showed the interviewer and Bush). This is in a 70 second video that I present as my news analysis. This CLEARLY falls under Fair Use. My video has been pulled off of YouTube and this notice is in its place: "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner CBS Broadcasting, Inc because its content was used without permission" That is BS. I have a right under Fair Use to use 18 seconds of audio and 7 seconds of video to analyze an extremely important issue of the day. If what I did in this video is not "Fair Use" then nothing is.

The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.” <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html">copyright.gov</a>

A bit of a commentary, and perhaps a surprise.

I got booted from YouTube, for material which was not commercially available. Yet, half of YouTube's content IS commercially available copywritten material. Time to move on
