Fair Use By Eric Faden

Throughout the video Faden uses a wide variety of clips from different Disney but he never uses more than he needs to. The University of Maryland University College’s guidelines for how much of a copyrighted work you can use include only using the amount you need, and not exceeding the expectation of how much you can use. Faden demonstrates this by using only what he needs to get his point

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”.

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

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

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.

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

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.

In the defense of Professor Faden, I believe that his video is protected under fair use. The intentions of the video was to teach others about copyright, and because it was used for educational purposes, it is completely legal for Faden to have used the scenes from the Walt Disney Studio films. In the Title seventeen, Chapter one of the United States code, it states that the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, is protected under the fair use doctrine.

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

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.

Walt Disney once said that films can be and have an enormous influence in shaping the lives of young people to achieve goals and objectives as they mature, and the animation is a medium of storytelling and visual entertainment that can give pleasure and information to audiences of all ages. This idea has once again manifested by Disney in their latest film, Zootopia. An animated film that is full of meaning, managed to create an arena for audiences of all ages, both young and old, came to the movies, sit down, and have fun together.

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

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

Both Peter Jackson and Howard Shore made the correct decision in using an excessive number of musical themes throughout the movie. The movie encroaches on nearly 4 hours in length

Filmmaking is an increasingly popular form of creative expression, and with expression comes offensive material. Because of this, films have a long history with governments all around the world. In the United States, this presents a unique issue. One of our government’s attributes that we are most proud of is our right to free speech, granted to us by our first amendment. This means that citizens can say whatever they would like about anything or anyone, including their federal, state, and local governments, without fear of legal retaliation from those governments. This grants a tremendous amount of power to the citizens, and as we all know, with great power comes great responsibility. In the filmmaker’s case, this responsibility, in the federal government’s eyes, was to create films suitable for all ages and mental capacities. Film producers had contrasting views, as one might expect. Filmmakers believed that their work should be protected under the first amendment, as it is a form of speech, but as Albosta says in his paper, “The Supreme Court has held that this does not protect all forms of communication” (Albosta, 2009, p.122). Unfortunately for film, they were originally excluded from the protection of the first amendment.
