A quick over view of the message (or argument) that I recieved from the video:
Ch.1
Q) What is the Copyright Law?
A) A law that states, and enforces, that only the owner of the original piece of work has the permission to use their work.
Ch.2
Q) What can be Copyrighted?
A) Books, Plays, Music, Dance, Movies and Pictures
Q) Can Ideas Be Copyrighted?
A) NO! The government does not want to limit the power of a great idea.
Ch.3
Q) What was the amount of time a Copyright lasted?
A) 14 years. The set time was once thought to give the owner enough time to turn a profit.
Q) What happened to the Copyright after the 14 years ened?
A) It was subjected to Public Domain. This meant that it was then free to be used by anyone to help entice new ideas to formulate; which is crucial to a thriving society.
Q) Is there still a limit on Copyright duration?
A) No. It has increasingly become a problem as copyrights last as long as 1 lifetime plus 70 years.
Ch. 4
Q) How can the pubic find loopholes through the Copyright Law?
A) Borrow only small amounts of Copyrighted work.
ie. Only to teach, report news, Parody, Critical Comments.
Q) Do rules apply?
A) Of course they do. The Nature, Amount, and Commercial Impact all have an effect on the Fair Use policy.
Q) Is the Fair Use rule a public right?
A) No, it is however a Legal Defensible Position.
Ch.5
Q) Why Disney clips for this short movie?
A) Company has a grandiose amount of power and inflicts radiating intimidation.
Q) So what is the overall point?
A) Movies like this, that use small clips of Copyrighted material, are gaurded by a legal safety net due to the fair use rule which the government has chosen to legally defend.
Again, this video was found on my professor's blog. Neither he or I are responsible for creating it.
