In an attempt to educate its users about copyright law, YouTube has debuted a "Copyright School" video that explains why videos are removed from YouTube. While "Copyright School" does a great job of telling you what you can't do with copyrighted content, it does a very poor job of telling you what you can do with copyrighted content--namely, remix, reuse and repurpose content without permission from the rightsholder as allowed under the doctirine of fair use. So here's our challenge to you: can you make a better video than YouTube that explains both what you can and can't do with copyrighted content? Watch the video above to find out how you can win $1000 and have your video featured on the Public Knowledge website!

* Must be 18 years or older and a legal resident of the United States at the time of entry. If you win, we will contact you via YouTube, so make sure you can be reached via your YouTube account! Read the offical rules here http://bit.ly/lh2VMN

  • I HAVE TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT AS OF TODAY. IM FUCKIN PISSED. YOUTUBE LOST A CUSTOMER. YOU FUCKING NAZI MOTHERFUCKING BASTARDS... THAT WAS MY ONLY HOBBY YOU FUCKING CUNTS..YOU REALLY THINK THE ARTISTS GIVE A FUCK IF THEIR MUSIC IS ON YOUTUBE. FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING CUNT ! ! ! !! ! ! !! ! !

  • Here's an idea,maybe they could charge people for some kind of "gold account" that's only $2 a month. It's so cheap, almost every youtube user would buy it. That money would be spread around to different companies... everyone's happy. Regular youtube accounts would be able to see original videos... and videos that aren't caught by youtube.

  • i actually took this stupid copyright school to take off strikes ...

  • I hate that video. SO MUCH.

  • JewTube disliked this

  • Take your damn copyright and shove it your ass!
