How Does Faden Use Copyright

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

Fair use is the ability to use a small piece of someone's creative work without permission. One can claim fair use only if the work isn’t for commercial purposes, is for education criticism/commentary, news

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.

Fair use law states - “ Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use.” this means that you can use another person's work as long as they use a certain amount of the original owners work, or it is used for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. In Mr. Faden's mashup he did not use anymore than 30 seconds of the movies used in the video. Meaning that his mashup is covered by the fair use

The second approach to copyright is the democratic approach. All works of art are ideas built on a foundation of other ideas. The democratic approach advocates that intellectual property belongs to the society and should be available for the general good of the public. If the particular usage is intended to derive financial benefit or any other business-related benefits, it is considered inappropriate usage. If the utilization of factual work were more usable than the use of someone’s creative work, then that would not be fair use. There is no specified edge to the amount of quoted work that can be called “fair use.” The courts exercise common sense to determine if it was too much. If the utilization of the material created market or stirred a competition, and if the fair use diminishes demand for the original product, it is not considered as appropriate use (Crews, 1993).

Another reason I say he did nothing wrong is because all he used was words that the characters were saying such as copyright, owner, allowed, etc. that's everyday words that people use if you think thats copyright there is something wrong with you. According to the third factor of fair use if you only use a certain amount of something and dont

It wasn’t until the landmark 1991 Biz Markie copyright infringement case over his use of a Gilbert O’Sullivan sample on I Need a Haircut that the courts determined sampling constituted willful infringement. Record companies, realizing the cost of an infringement case, pushed artists to declare the use of samples in their works. However, with fear of incurring additional costs, companies and artists also embraced the possibility of being sampled as they often earned royalties for their contributions. Some publishing companies, namely Bridgeport Music, Inc. and TufAmerica Inc., took the profitability of copyright ownership even

In the video “Everything Is a Remix” it shows the audience that there is no such thing as an “original idea” that everything is a remix hence the title of the video. An idea always comes from a previous idea that one had already thought of. In the video it gives us small snippets of films like “Star Wars”, “Kill Bill” etc. Quentin Tarantino’s film “Kill Bill” was known to almost be a mash-up of a ton of different movies like “The Searchers” (1956), “Gone in 60 seconds” (1974), “Game of death” (1978), “Sanjuro” (1962), “Black Sunday” (1977), “They call her one eye” (1974), “twisted nerve” (1968), and many other films. Quentin’s film “Kill Bill” has multiple identical scenes of the movies previously listed. At the end of his film he doesn’t credit any of the other movie directors as if the idea of the movie was all him. Another example is the non-ending fight between Apple and Android. Steve Jobs creator and founder of Apple Inc. stated “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.” and “I don’t want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won’t want it. I’ve got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that’s all I want.” Android claims it is all their own ideas and get all the money and the hype. Android has a lot of similar applications, widgets, phone, and computer appliances that apple came up with first but won’t admit it or give credit where it is

A Case Study of The Grey Album by DJ Danger Mouse: Does Copyright Law Inhibit Creativity in Music?

The purpose of copyright law is to protect a creator and their original work from being used without appropriate reasoning falling under fair use, as well as being used without permission from the creator. Fair use can be defined as a doctrine that allows portions of a copyrighted work to be used without the creator’s permission as long as it is only for commentary, parody, criticization, or educational purposes. In the fictional case of Professor Faden versus Walt Disney Studios, I have decided to take the side of Professor Faden. Professor Faden claims fair use in this case.

Professor Faden did use fair use in his mash-up video because he was using some of walt disney studios movies and mashed them up . He used some of the movies in Walt disney studios to make a video for Students/Adults to know what fair use means. All Professor Faden's was trying to do was help people learn what copyright was and he wasn't copyrighting the movies from walt disney studios .People around the world always remixes videos from tv shows and put songs into them. Its someone making a mash-up and using it in a very creative way. That doesn’t mean that they need to sue him, he didn’t do anything wrong. In the definition of fair use; any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose.

Art defines us, allowing us unleash our personalities and creative abilities through forms such as painting, sculpture, and, of course, music. For centuries, music artists in specific have exchanged ideas, embracing the culture of combining folk songs and tunes into their newer pieces of music. Today, some music artists wish to carry on with that tradition in what is now known as “rap sampling”. This method of sharing music has now interfered with the modern concept of copyright. With this relatively new legal action used to protect original works, ancient traditions of sharing music can no longer be practiced freely.

Every story has two sides, digital sponsorship as well. The pro side of the digital sponsorship (signage, mobile apps, etc) is that it is free advertising on the internet. It does not need any print flyers that cost money to print out and location to advertise the print ad. Using digital sponsorship on social media will make the process easier, one simple touch with our fingers can change things. Guest can also learn about our business through our website and they can take as long as they want on a certain page for information instead of “skimming” through a print ad while passing by. The con side of digital sponsorship is that not everyone knows how to use technology such as smartphones and computer. The older generation grew up without any technology might not be willing to learn and adapt the change. Digital sponsorship is marketed more to the younger generation where they grew up with technologies. This is leaving the older generation behind because they are more of a consumer than young adults.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, claiming that Eric Faden has broken any laws pertaining to copyright is downright ludicrous. I think all of us here know what Fair Use is but as a refresher it’s any copying of a copyrighted material done for a limited and transformative purpose. Those purposes can be for critical commentary, educational purposes, parody or satire, purpose of archiving materials, using to trigger discussion, personal reportage or diary, and pastiche or collage. Does a video telling the viewers about copyright, what it is, what it’s used for, and how it’s enforced not sound like a video for educational purposes. Mr. Faden is entertaining us while teaching us about a section of law not many commoners know much about. Some might argue that the video uses too much content from various disney movies.
