The Future of Public Media Project recently published an important new document that provides very helpful guidelines on what is and what is not acceptable use of previously published material in an online setting. Here's the introduction:
This document is a code of best practices that helps creators, online providers, copyright holders, and others interested in the making of online video interpret the copyright doctrine of fair use. Fair use is the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment under some circumstances.
This is a guide to current acceptable practices, drawing on the actual activities of creators, as discussed among other places in the study Recut, Reframe, Recycle: Quoting Copyrighted Material in User-Generated Video and backed by the judgment of a national panel of experts. It also draws, by way of analogy, upon the professional judgment and experience of documentary filmmakers, whose own code of best practices has been recognized throughout the film and television businesses.
You can download the full paper here. And you can read the rest of the introduction and the guidelines here. UPDATE |

"Fan made music videos featuring The Sims aren't exactly new. Electronic Arts kind of blew the lid off of the underground nerd hobby last spring when they had Lilly Allen make a video for "Smile" in which she sang the song in Simlish, the Sims language. (I had to look it up. Take it easy, nerds.) Still, have you seen these things lately? They are the funniest thing." [from VideoGum.com UPDATE |

A new open source software group has added its voice to the opposition against the Conservative government’s impending copyright reform bill. Lulu CEO Bob Young likens the legislation to banning screwdrivers because they could be used by burglars.
“The copyright philosophy behind the U.S. DMCA is that it’s illegal to do what software engineers do every day of the week and what they’ll have to continue to do in order to build better technology for all companies,” Bob Young, spokesperson for the Canadian Software Innovation Alliance (CSIA) and a former founder and CEO at Red Hat Inc., said. “The biggest concern is we’re going to have law substitute for good technology. We’re crafting these laws without having anyone from the technology industry engaged in the process.”

"Prof. Robert Brauneis of GW Law School has done a mind-boggling amount of research into the origins and copyright history of 'Happy Birthday to You,' a song that still makes $2m per year for its copyright owner. Not only does Prof. Brauneis debunk many old myths about the song, he also concludes that the song is almost certainly in the public domain, although it's probably too expensive for anyone to actually prove that in court. But Prof. Brauneis is posting more than 200 documents unearthed in his research, so you all now have a head start." [from BoingBoing.net] UPDATE |

A fantastic new remix website has been recently launched. Go check it out...here.
This country is a remix, it's what we do. What did Jefferson and Paine and Adams do but mashup history, take a little from the Magna Carta, a little from John Locke, and a whole lot of rebellion. Now, thanks to the web and digital technology, everyone can join in.
This is a unique moment in our history -- We can rediscover the promise of the Declaration of Independence next to the music of Louis Armstrong next to the beats of the Beastie Boys and clips of our candidates talking about "Changes." Every one of us can own our best expressions of liberty, democracy and freedom, remix them as they see fit, and share them with the world.
RemixAmerica.org is a multi-partisan, non-profit website that uses digital technology to give everyone the chance to own the words, the music, the images and sounds of America in digital form; to remix those expressions and ideas with their own; and to send the products of our community's creativity out to the world... where others will come back to us and start it all over again...
There's no telling where this can go – we want to be the place where millions can post their dreams, their hopes, their frustrations about our country via text, video responses and remixes...
We want to be a home for the millions of voices that can change the National conversation.
Think of this as the new digital public square. Suggest new videos and ideas here. Tell your friends. Spread the word.
Create a remix, talk back, or leave a comment...there's plenty of ways to join the conversation.
This is our moment. It's time to Remix America!
