Fair Use Vs Warner Music Group: How to Use and Apply Fair Use to avoid Copyright Infringement

READ THE OPENING TEXT!

Help me spread this video so that Youtube, in general, can be more informed in this matter!

My Source that I used for this video: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

The Clauses themselves:

1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

2) The nature of the copyrighted work;

3) Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.


Also keep in mind that this is just my interpretation of the 4 rules and the clause in general. Sorry if any of this information is wrong. If any of it is, I am sorry. I was unaware.

so i have a question... if i live in mexico but the artist is from the u.s, do i have to put this disclaimer or the one of my country???

Thanks!

[mecakoto]

@LazyStalker1234 I'd put both just to be safe.

Does it work in CAN?

[mecakoto]

Can as in Canada?

Well, Canada has a site that explains it. To play it safe, Google the Copyright laws for Canada and go from there.

ok thx, but if I want to add a mashup with (an official music video clip), is it gonna work? I contest for the audio but I worry about the video..

[mecakoto]

The safest thing to do is make an alternate Youtube account and test it with only the Audio. If it gets blocked then it won't work. If it doesn't then it is most likely safe.

The CEO is pissed off because of the names he has been called for pulling videos so he is being a spiteful 2 year old by ignoring this fair use act.

[NANU1115]

But of course, unless you rely on your videos as a wage of some sort. Nobody is going to hire a lawyer to sue for some video on youtube. Thats the problem right there. Thats why WMG does it. Cause they are stupid fucking cunts.

Thank you for the well made video mecakoto. I too have come to the same conclusion as you have after reading about fair use, and your video has helped confirmed my interpretations.

Fair Use (and other laws) are intentionally vague so that the court or state can interpret them as they see fit. This can be a problem because there are those who deform the law through their power and money, use it to steal away rights, and deface the morality that countless people fought and died for.

I'M A DJ and i upload my mix on youtube but it got blocked :S

but i found like millions of djs on youtube but they dun get block

can someone tell me how ??

[s3xyrixa]

yea youtube still doesnt care.. tried to upload a video with 30seconds of a wmg song to make a comment about it and all the audio got disabled

[Undermostnewjoe]

the wmg is the faggot of the internet, no one can express themselves no one can show the great works they have created and for what? Paper and Metal, i understand that the artists don't want people to make money off their shit but they have to realize they have fans, and if the fans who wish to create the shit don't get to they will just fucking go to another person who doesn't have a problem with it , like christian artists, i have used christian songs in sum vids and guess what? NO STRIKES!

[RaheemdaplayaO4]

Does this still work, because YouTube has changed dramatically since you have uploaded this

[moonoink]

just download, that'll teach them a lesson!

[PhazeProducti0n]

[steviegohard100]

[LazyStalker1234]
