Fair Use By Eric Faden

The video A Fair(y) Use Tale Trial by Professor Eric Faden was created with the purpose of educating it’s viewers about Fair Use principles. It creates a transformative work through different Disney movie clips each only a few seconds long strung together in order to explain Fair Use and Copyright in an entertaining and original way. The video is noncommercial, and no profit was gained by Professor Faden in producing the work or after it was displayed.

This instructional speech by Danielle Feinberg explores and educates the audience on how animated film industries, such

What images come to mind as you reflect on your childhood? Playgrounds, blackboards, and soccer balls may be among the warmest of memories. Yet for many mermaids swim their thoughts, princesses get swept of their feet, and lions roar to their loyal place in the animal kingdom. There is no doubt that today’s entertainment has most of its touch using classical influences. Walt Disney has produced animated films that have captured the heart and imagination of audiences of all ages around the world through the magic of storytelling and imagery. Many of us appreciate the imagination and magic that Disney puts into its animations with out knowing they are based off of classical and traditional storylines

With endless copyright laws and fine lines of right and wrong Eric Faden created a video using short clips from disney animation studios to test the limits of fair use. Walt disney studios is known for suing schools, churches , and public libraries for broadcasting their movies and animations without permission(which is never given). Once again disney has proved their reputation by by filing a lawsuit against eric faden whom abided by the copyright rules. I can only imagine Disney’s lawyers heads spinning off as they watched the “movie”.

The video that he made was used for nonprofit education.Creating works for this reason is stated as being fair use in the library of congress's website. Faden created this video to teach about the laws and regulations of copyright, fair use, copyright infringement, the public domain, and the duration of copyright. In the video it even states that states the different uses that fall under fair use such as news reporting, parody, critical comment, and teaching which is what he is using this video for.

FACTS: The defendant, Peter Junger, a computer law professor at Case Western Reserve University challenged the United States government's regulations of encryption software. The regulations in place prevented U.S. citizens from being able to export encryption source code (or publishing/disseminating) over the internet. Junger was concerned that international students might not be able to join his encryption technology class that he taught and that any encrypting software he creates and wants to post on his

Fair use allows anyone to use only small portions of a copyrighted without permission from the author or distributor of said work. Professor faden’s Video falls under two of the already stated guidelines; Education and Parody.

Therefore, Professor Faden’s work is fair use and is considered noninfringing. In order to determine if something is considered copyright, you must look at the four factors of copyright. Factors that judges take into consideration when looking at a copyright case is what is the purpose and character of the work, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and sustainability of the portion taken, and the effect of the use upon the potential market To fully determine if Mr. Faden’s work is truly fair use, we must compare his work to each of the four factors. The purpose of the Fair(y) use tale video, is to educate people on copyright and fair use in the college setting, which is covered by fair use since it is being used for educational purposes. The nature of this video is to not cause harm to Walt Disney Studios’ profit in any way, nor would it because the video is not being sold to the public or for Faden’s own personal

I decided to research a famous copyright infringement case. The case was Cariou vs. Prince. Richard Prince is an American painter and photographer. Prince began copying other photographers’ work during 1975. Prince’s intention for copying other artists’ work is for him to create his own unique version of it. During a presentation at the Gagosian Gallery, Prince re-created 41 pictures from a photography book by Patrick Cariou, who is a French photographer. Prince explained that he produced new connotation out of the pictures. But, Cariou argued that it was not fair use, but it was in fact copyright infringement (“5 Famous Copyright Infringement Cases (what You Can Learn”). In 2011, a judge ruled in favor for Cariou, explaining that the alterations

We respectfully submit this brief amicus curiae in support of the petitioners, Eldred et al. The petitioners owned the copyrights of works now in the public domain. They challenged the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) on the grounds that the act allows copyrights to exist in perpetuity and restricts free speech, so the act violates the Copyright Clause and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Justice Ginsburg denied Eldred’s challenges, finding that the terms established by the CTEA are limited terms and that the act accommodates for petitioner’s First Amendment concerns. We submit this amicus curiae in dissent of the court opinion that upheld the CTEA.

The current generation of students has a short attention span and the podcast Serial in the long run is too tedious for it to be an effective media for student to listen to. The entire season of the podcast is too long for a classroom setting. It takes too long to cover all the episodes in the podcast as there are 12 episodes. These episodes are nearly an hour long and after the first several episodes, the information becomes repetitive and redundant about the case. Personally speaking, as a grade eleven student when I listened to the podcast in class, I fell asleep from boredom as Sarah repeatedly mentions how events proceeded on the day of the incident, how Jay was untrustworthy as he constantly changed his story, and etc. It is simply a long, banal, redundant podcast that is a waste of valuable class time. My time was wasted listening to the podcast serial and other class should not suffer through a similar fate of listening to such a tedious podcast. Another aspect is that there is a lot of biased from the producer Sarah Koenig. This is problematic due to the fact that it will have students be more susceptible to conforming to the opinions of the media. If the biases that are presented within the podcast are not pointed out, some oblivious student will practically be brainwashed into leaning into a certain perspective. For

In copyright FAQs it has to at least be creative effort on the part of the author. Movies is one thing that you can copy because its Professors Faden idea that’s making the mash-up. The copyright law says it has to cover the creative of expression of an idea. Walt Disney studios doesn’t have the right to sue him because he is falling the copyright law correctly. The disney movies is out there for people to watch and for people to use it. If Walt Disney Studios didn't want anybody to copyright his movies then he shouldn't have made the movies in the first place. Whoever created the movies for disney made up the cartoons and the script and Professor used the movies and mashed them up. A lot of people do it and it is fair. The movies from Walt Disney Studios

But for seven of the 30 movies to be from Disney really speaks to me and challenges my thesis. Disney is slowly

The movie that I choose to watch is “classifying Animals”. The purpose of that video is to explain how animals can be classified in two main groups (Vertebrates and invertebrates) according to their physical characteristics. I think that video is an effective tool to help the students learn how to classify animals. Also, I like the way she introduces in defining the concept of “classification”. I think I would introduce this video to the students for more than one reason. At first, that could be a great opportunity to get students’ feedback after teaching them the concept of classifying animals. Also, Showing the students this video, they would practice sorting animals by different attributes. Next, the students would explore the different

Fair use is a defense to copyright infringement that essentially asks of any particular use; Is this fair?
