YouTube, AP, Hurting Fair Use

Google looks the other way

10 Comments

Youtube has been removing

Youtube has been removing videos and banning free speech. They have taken the You from Youtube.

Cool

I too like how Maddox explains youtube thanks you "Brave Agent Pubeit"

Google is everywhere and everywher is Google

Sounds like a story an a half. But Where Google is, it's like everything is solved. My, oh my. Who was the creators of Google again? Can't believe the world is evolving this fast.

cool....

nice info....

AP is wrong

Any photo taken of a political figure who remains in the "national spotlight" is by far not owned by that photographer or organization for which it came from. Automatically it's in the public domain. And the public can do anything they want with it.

Now President Obama, in this case, the artists who rendered him using an AP photo can declare that any photo taken of him is in the public domain. Afterall he has rights too.

Copyright laws should be revisited and changed. Fair-use should never ever be compromised. It seems that the AP News Company and many others want to bash the fair-use policy. Shame on them!!!

The music label, the largest

The music label, the largest of the country's four top recording companies, has indeed acknowledged that the clip doesn't violate their copyright and the clip has been reposted to YouTube. But Universal Music also argued before Fogel that it's not up to copyright owners to determine fair use.

It's interesting to see that

It's interesting to see that Yahoo increased its US market share by 3%. I've always found that Yahoo does convert very well, often better than Google, so it's definitely worth trying if you're already using AdWords successfully.

AP & Copyright Theft - "Spitzer Call Girl" story

AP suing Obama artist Shepard Fairey for a copyright violation on a clearly transformative fair use is absurd.

Consider that when the Elliott Spitzer call girl story broke, AP stole photos taken by someone else, not AP (apparently from Kristin's MySpace account) and published them as AP's, under AP's copyright notice and made them available for sale by AP (I checked their page.)

Taking the whole original image for commercial profit is quite unfair to the original photographer. The better-behaved NY Post apparently bought and paid for some original photos. They appeared with a credit to the photographer.

Exception to the copyright law you may have missed: Theft of a whole image is ok if you're a big news organization.

I like how Maddox explains

I like how Maddox explains youtube:

(Laughs)

I can't belive Youtube are doing this when there are film ads, music (etc.). Why deystory copies when you can detroy the real deal. In this case, why destroy some people singing when you can destroy a copyrighted video off something like MTV of the singers singinning the real deal?

PS Destroy now means remove
