The majority of copyright claims are enforced without considering fair use since no one bothers to file a counterclaim to claim fair use of the copyrighted material.

Hence copyrights are vastly abused and overused at the expense of YouTube, the Internet, and the public.

its not a vialation... because of the FAIR USE thingy. the clips were used to teach us all about copyright stuff... so its fair.

if i had permission can i use unlimited amount of the copyrighted material ?

@RontheHybrid They could take the video down for the Disney clips. If you saw the end credits, it's says the song was used with permission, so it's fine.

@tr9000 I see what your saying,but think in terms of damage,if a person got killed in an airplane accident the cap amount they could sue for would be 100k for wrongful death.millions if they survived.was it worth that much?dont think so< i only paid 2.99 for my 45 when it came out.then again with the "mixed tapes"i guess i could have gotten it off the radio for free.the new owner of the song didnt create it so i really dont think he should have been compensated so heavily for it.

@tappakeggaday1 I'm sorry it seems I should have been more clear with what i said, the man is suing Men at work 28 years after the song was released, but he himself only owned the rights for tKookaburra for about 20 years getting it after the original owner died.

[tappakeggaday1]

@tr9000 8 years after down under?seems like the judge should have said man that boat already sailed and you should have jumped on it sooner.maybe one to two years after the down under song was released.if someone had an accident on your property they have three years to file suit against the person who owned the property and that bodily damages.laws for copyright should be much shorter than that.

[tr9000]

@tappakeggaday1 Kookaburra, the song the flute part was allegedly copying was owned by someone else when the song was made, the new owner gained the rights to the song like 8 years after Down Under was released, and sued the record label 28 years after the initial release of the song. The Verve had something similar happen with The Rolling Stones, they had a license to use a song sample, made too much money and was sued for using "too much of the song" breaking copyright. 50/50 deal became 100/0

@teamuny It's also a parody! so it's doubly fair.

[tappakeggaday1]

tell that to the band men at work with the song down under

So what if the material is partially copyrighted, like the audio (music), but all video content was hand created by you? Can they take down your video, or just remove their audio, cause technically it's not their video, only their audio?
