Universal City Studios Vs Sony

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 advancement and development in delivery of media content has also affected the audience’s behavior in certain manner. In distant past, families use to gather around the only television screen in home and enjoy the prime time programs aired by these limited broadcasters. “Millions of households already have cancelled pay-TV subscriptions - up to 10 million U.S. households are currently broadband-only. And about 45 percent of Americans stream television shows at least once a month, according to research firm eMarketer. That number is expected to increase to 53 percent or 175 million people by 2018.” Anderson, Mae, and Michael Liedtke. "HBO Unleashes Streaming from Cable Contracts." The Charleston Gazette, 16 Oct. 2014. Web.

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).

As an individual who is looking to cut cable and pursue a streaming service, I believe that Hulu’s $39.99 Live Stream subscription, as described in the case, could be a strong supplement for pay TV. Although margins for this offering are predicted to be low, I believe that the development of such a subscription illustrates Hulu’s ability to complete market research and listen to consumers. This package indicated that Hulu understands that consumers want Live TV, but wishes to avoid costly bills and wasted

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.

Nature of the Case: Universal City Studios, the plaintiff, alleged that Sony Corporation of America, the defendant, was guilty of copyright infringement. The preceding was a discretionary appeal from the district court to the United States Supreme Court. They sought money damages, profits, and an injunction against the manufacturing and marketing of Betamax VTR’s.

On the other hand, there are also people that do it on purpose thinking they won't get caught doing what they are doing, and that means that they would have to face the consequences, and Eric Faden makes this video, to probably help a lot of people learn, I can say this because I did, I understand the copyright and fair use laws a lot better now after watching his video.

Professor Faden made a video clip using scenes from Walt Disney Studios movies. Although Faden claims that the clips he took were fair use, I think he was out of line. Disney Studios is the creator of the movies that all these clips came from. I believe that taking someone's work and turning it into something for your own use, should be given permission. Fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose. After a certain amount of years copyright protection with expire. A lot of the clips Faden used were movies from a few years ago, but still containing copyright.

As I have already said the defendant’s work is a collage, a mashup of short clips from several Disney movies, and this kind of use is one of the six best practices listed in the article “Online Best Practice in Fair Use”. The clips used don’t last more than

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.

In this case faden’s clips are no longer than 6 seconds and they all flow naturally like a sentence. The clips are short but long enough for Faden’s educational point to come across. The whole statement that Faden is trying to prove is that as long as you stay in the guidelines of fair use, it does not matter how big the company is that you are dealing with. You just have to simply follow the guidelines and clearly state your reasons for creating the work.
