November 7th, 2007 — Copyright & Fair Use
This Disney parody is absolutely brilliant. Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University created this video mashup using 400 cuts from 27 different Disney films to explain copyright and fair use laws.
I’m sure the Disney lawyers’ heads are spinning from this one.
November 4th, 2007 — Copyright & Fair Use
Fair Use is a popular topic in the blogosphere right now because of sites like YouTube and Google Video.
I’ve been creating my own home video slideshows for several years now. I’ve been very careful about trying not to break any copyright laws. However, the more I try to figure out what’s fair use and what’s not fair use, the more confused I get.
I was doing a little more research this morning and stumbled across some very interesting blog posts. So I thought I would share some of them with you.
If you have it all figured out, please share some insight by leaving a comment. Or, if you’re just as confused as me, I would love to hear about it too.
