Differences Between Legal and Fair

With YouTube's impending court case with Viacom over hosting copyright infringing material, the San Jose Mercury News has written a very interesting article about the differences between legal and fair. Carolina based Christopher Knight made a fan video drawing inspiration from the Star Wars universe. Viacom thought the video was funny and took it, added some satirical commentary and reposted it. Knight was flattered and took the updated video with commentary and reposted it again. Viacom said he had to remove this video from YouTube because they owned the copyright ot it. YouTube complied. It is obvious that copyright law in its current form is inadequate to cater for either copyright owners or those who wish to exercise fair use and sample small segments of copyrighted work for non-commercial use. Things need to change. It will be very interesting to see how this case plays out...[Thanks to Darknet.com for the link.] UPDATE |
