This video is an educational piece designed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding copyright infringement and freedom of expression that are so prevailant in our online societies today. You Tube have recently been removing a lot more so called 'infringing' material from their website at the behest of large media companies such as the BBC, Paramount Pictures and MGM and deleting accounts left, right and centre. This is a terrible shame as a lot of the highly creative work being produced today is video remix work and many people may never see these entertaining pieces if they are 'erased from existence' by big corporations. For anyone else who has experienced this, make sure to send a counter-notice when a video that is clearly fair use is removed from your account by YouTube. Otherwise, the bullies will win. What kind of society are we living in when we are not free to play with our own media? When will this madness and oppression end?! Is cutting a photo out of a magazine and pasting it in a scrap book copyright infringement? Viva la Revolution du Liberte! UPDATE |
