Walt Disney Fair Use Essay

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.

A very prominent form of motion pictures today and even a hundred years ago would have to be animation. The first animated film composed of only illustrated images was released in Paris in 1908 and was called Fantasmagorie. In 1920 the first full color cartoon is released, paving the way for the future of this industry. Soon after that in 1922 the history of animation would be changed for ever with the introduction of the first film created by Walt Disney. This was the start of something special that Disney could have never expected. In 1937, Disney struck gold with the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves which many consider as the beginning of full-length animated features because it included sound and color. For my actual report

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”.

Professor Faden is a film/media teacher at Bucknell University in Lewisburg Pennsylvania. He received his PhD. while in Florida. Now in addition to teaching he makes some films and writes papers on film and media. When doing these things he would have to have a good understanding of copyright laws so as not to break them when creating works. Faden demonstrates this knowledge when making the “A Fair(y) Use Tale”, by not committing copyright infringement on Disney Studios.

Fair use, a well-established doctrine of copyright law, is explicitly stated in Title 17, Section 107 of the U.S. Code. It protects copying “for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research.” Also very relevant to the issues raised by this lawsuit is the final

How Marxist theory is presented in Disney/Pixar films, with a focus on Toy Story 3 and Wall-E.

The plaintiff claims that Mr. Faden is guilty of copyright infringement, from the mash up of numerous disney productions for the use of educational purposes of copyright and how the law works. I'm here today to defend Professor Faden, because i can prove that he is in fact innocent.

The copyright on Eric Faden is fair use because it’s used to teach kids about copyright laws. He is not making any money off of the remix. He is not looking in making profit, he is simply educating. He borrowed very small pieces of Disney films to transform into a remix. He also cited all the movies he took, and gave credit to disney. Some people say it’s copyright because he didn’t get permission from Disney.

Anyone accused of copyright infringement is protected under the claim of Fair use as long as they stayed within the fair use guidelines; the borrowed work must be used for the following reasons: Education, Critique, Parody or commentary. Professor Faden has been wrongly accused of Copyright infringement over his “Fair(y) Use Tale” video by Disney, accusing him of stealing their Intellectual Property for his own personal gain. This paper will prove Professor Faden’s innocence and why his video should be allowed to stay online.

To the jury of the court, let me start off by stating i'm the lawyer of the defendant, Professor Faden. Professor Faden has been accused of infringing the copyright of Disney Studio.

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.

Misuse of copyright is when the copyright holder misuses the legally-backed rights in order to extend its dominance regarding the use of the copyright work to an extent which may not be acceptable when kept in perspective with law and equity.

A lot has happened in the world of information since 1976. The digital age has had a big impact on our interpretation of fair use. It used to be that illegal copies of digital material were easy to spot because they were of obvious poor quality compared to the original. Advances in technology, however, have made it possible to easily create copies that are just as high quality as the original. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 put up a few barriers to fair use. This legislation made it illegal to destroy or bypass any copyright protection mechanism on a digital work even on a legally purchased copy. For educators, this means that even if the use is fair, copying these files or videos is restricted.

in this the events historicals not have much influence with regard to the story that no one was thinking of a genius who could do magic that were just a story of tuples that did not have much influence until I get disney and change completely, said it was a myth that became a history and a story to a disney movie , this movie I liked when I was a kid and the interesting thing is that I can cover more about it that I find intresante and investigate this story not It has historical events

I don’t think that the video violates copyright of Disney laws because of the Fair Use Act. Hey is only trying to teach others about what Fair Use is. He only used each clip from the movie to explain what fair use meant. And he also doesn't need any permission from or payment to the copyright holder. The video only has short clips various parts of movies that hey decided it to but in his video. To use Fair Use you can only have to use it for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarships and researching, and parody.
