Copyright, Exceptions, and Fair Use: Crash Course Intellectual Property #3

Thank you

Thanks for the awesome information! Im a writer who wanted to know what I need to do to borrow ideas from other works. I’ll use the “transformative use” test, and run it by a copyright lawyer before submitting it to a publisher.

it got worse

Great info, thank you!

FYI, looks like there's an ongoing lawsuit where a photographer is suit over someone getting a tattoo of one of their pictures, and the plaintiff seems to be winning, crazy. Looks up Sedlik v. Von Drachenberg No. CV 21-1102, 2022 WL 2784818 (C.D. Cal. May 31, 2022)

I'm so glad the Mongoltage keeps getting its mileage.

viacom doesnt understand what this is

Thanks for the training!

Really interesting, thank you.

Don't swim after just getting a tattoo. That's a terrible idea.

Does this mean when you share a link to a news article on social media, this is against copyright law?

Super boring

this is sooo helpful u have no idea
what happens when you use a remixed song tho

Does taking very small portion of a movie (1-3 minutes) and teach students English (phrases,words,..) to earn money, a copyright infringement?

hope you enjoy infected tattoos imaginary thought experiment stan
(it's suggested that you wait ~4 weeks to go swimming after a tattoo, or until your tattoo is healed, whichever is later)

I just want to know that if i make a computer game and post it for free (no ads, free dl, no money to be made whatsoever)
and a pop cult character makes a cameo(credits for character included in game), will i get in trouble? (I live in US)

You elegantly skipped one question: How can a simple checkmark be enough to enter a legally binding agreement. But thank you for explainint the "fair use".

I'll have you know I at least skim the terms and conditions

One question regarding the "heart" of a product:

If someone wanted to make a review of a movie or videogame, are they allowed to tell spoilers?

I love the way you talk, so easy to understand different topics. Thanks!

Why you need to speak so Fast? Not so good. It's hard to run after or over you

Bruh, there's a mouse behind you.

The real abuser is the legal system. A subset of professionalism. Hell, in the old days they would just knee-cap you, and take back their horse. No stress!

Only one problem with info-dense narrative - I want to sleep - 22 hours..

So why isn't showing a Pepsi can with the logo on a TV show fair use?

Article 13 is just gonna make this worse.

Having Stan present is like The Beatles letting Ringo sing, just way better.

I own my computer. By this alone I declare that, whatever I put on it, is mine. Why would it be someone else's? It's an extra copy. What? Do they need to own every copy? If I were a wealthy old artist I'd be honoured if I'd inspired someone to the point of creating work like mine. I can't understand why anyone should feel any different. I am an amatuer musician. I really love doing it and I don't mind if someone downloads a copy for themselves. In fact I love that. Free the music and allow people to play what they want, where they want and how they want to play.

Oh wow, this was great! Thanks!

My god, I'm an engineer and I could not understand almost anything from this legal jumbo

Gud day.. How about if I'm going to make videos of me making figures(clay) of movie characters, game characters and anime characters.. Is that considered as copyright??

look like young william shatner, but, property law

I read the terms of use, but I forget the majority of what I read almost immediately after clicking the "I accept," button.

happy birthday is public domain

Let's say a video publisher has published a work to their website, and only made it viewable by those who have financially paid for access to that work. If someone were to copy that work, post it in full publicly while also providing their their own real-time commentary (a reaction video), I would argue that still violates that 4th point, where you are directly preventing the owner from making money on their own content.. agree or disagree?

Selling my MP3 collection would require me to make a copy? How's that?

Great Job. We are impressed. Greetings from mexico. We ourselves try to educate the audience about copyright and you’re a great inspiration.

I realize distribution and copy is separate. How a person distribute a work is out of the author's hand but copy it's work; in assuming the author assured some legal protection and has copyright rights has the right to fine if such a situation happens.

If I don't want something to be seen by the public i never ever post it online or i keep it locked up cause once it's posted or you allow an opportunity where someone can just spring out their phones it spreads like wildfire. Infrigement and copyright laws to me from that point has expired especially if you didn't make any physical initiative of preventing it. That to me is the new rights in the digital age. There are some people who purposefully ignore certain rules that are set in companies and do illegal copies; I believe those people should be sued.

Okay yes I agree cause I am like everyone is guilty of infringement. I feel like it is the author's responsibility when it comes to not wanting copy's of their work or ideas to come to light. If you walk into an exhibit and the exhibit says no cell phones cause this is original art and we don't want it displayed to the public and to do so you are fine with $$$ thousand dollars they have that absolute right but if you never bring that expectation out to the public you can't go around sueing all of sudden cause maybe photos from exhibit gets popular and people end up making hundreds to thousands of dollars than you cause at that point what the person does to make the artwork more appealing or changes made becomes an original artwork of another author. What's happening is that people in the world is creative and resourceful and that some people end up making alot more money with a masterpiece than supposedly the original author who end up making less from it. The supposed original author should have took extra precautions and if so then yeah chip in to some of that money but if didn't don't try to leech off someone else work or idea.

What's the legality of incidental use of trademarked images? For example, shooting a film that takes place in a video store will obviously show posters and dvd covers. The lack of these elements makes it difficult to make the setting convincing. Where's the line between incidental use and trademark violation?

Is the creation of an info-poster using verbatim text from a science book considered a transformative work? What if the text is paraphrased?

Any use of any copyrighted work where it is not done for profit should be considered fair use. This would save a TON of copyright issues that pop up. The only infringement lawsuits that should be valid are the ones where someone was trying to make money off someone's intellectual property. All that is needed is a simple redefinition of "fair use".

Informative AND Funny

Hey this is great.

I mean your video.
not the amount of infringement I’m possibly liable for.
