Aren't there some copyright violations going on with these videos?

You won't get in trouble by proxy will you? We better ask a lawyer. Oh wait ...

 

Re: Official John D. Villarreal video thread - Ben Affleck calls Dems F'n weak!

hmm, you might want to err on the side of caution

What does "F'n" mean?

No, Fair Use Doctrine.

 

Re: Official John D. Villarreal video thread - Ben Affleck calls Dems F'n weak!

I don't get it.

If JDV's a major player in the media with all these super terrific fantastic connections and is so much better than all of us, etc., why's he posting amateurish videos on YouTube and then threatening to sue when Webby when Webby shuts it down?

It doesn't add up.

If you are a journalistic enterprise (snicker), fair use applies.

OK so I actually watched this whole video so I would know what the hell it was all about... if you watch it, fast forward to the 5:40 mark... that's the funniest part! HA!

One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the Copyright Act (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.” Although fair use was not mentioned in the previous copyright law, the doctrine has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years. This doctrine has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered “fair,” such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

the nature of the copyrighted work;

amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
