Have questions on ways around copy right issues?
In this video we get to learn about a fun little work around in the Copy Right Law.
Let’s all give a hand to
FAIR USE
I also want to thank my friend Dennis at castleforgemedia.com for sending this to me. I was personally interested in the video because of questions I had in regards to using TV audio clips in my upcoming podcast.
In this video, Stanford Center for Internet and Society’s Anthony Falzone (Executive Director of the Fair Use Project) and Julie Ahrens (Associate Director of the Fair Use Project) answer common questions related to Fair Use of Copy Right Law.
This should be watched by anyone interested in film making, Mashup creators, musicians, podcasters, comic book illustrators, and most artists.
Factors of Fair Use:
- How are you using the content & is it transformative?
- Is the content fictional or factual?
- How much of the content did you use?
- How does your use impact the content in the market?
It sound like I am in the clear for using TV audio clips as long as I do not over do it. Although I got the impression from the video that a lot of these laws are very case by case. Meaning there is always a possibility of getting sued.
On that note, I hope this video answered your questions related to Fair Use. If you are interested in information about Legal Issues with Fan art, you can check out that video here.
