Vidding 2

Vidding is something we so commonly use that most do not even consider that it may be an infringement of intellectual property. I personally don’t see it as infringement if one is not making any money off of it or claiming it to be their own. But I do understand how some creators would be upset if someone was using their work in a different way than intended.
When using material found on the internet, I draw the line at trying to sell or claim someone else’s work as your own. If you are using a song to narrate pictures or a video just for your friends and family I see no problem with that. However, if you are trying to make a profit and claim it to be yours that is where the infringement comes into play.
If you simply state that this is not the original and make that known I think that should cover you. I do not think that you necessarily have to make it so different that it is no longer the same material because then what is the point. As long as you are honest and give credit to the original artist I think it should be ok to do viding.

    We all know, or at least hear about, Disney’s relationship with copyright, and how they refuse to let anyone touch their work. The character Mickey Mouse alone has lasted 87 years with a copyright over its head. Disney doesn’t want anyone to use their work under any circumstances. Although there is a brave man, who goes by the name of Mr. Faden, who used the loophole in the system in order to educate others in the most ironic way. This paper is discussing the court case of Mr. Faden’s remix “Fair(y) Use Tale” vs. Walt Disney. Mr. Faden’s remix is an educational video about the rules and laws of copyright and how it works, but the entire is told through clips of Disney movies. Walt Disney is claiming that Mr. Faden’s remix,“Fair(y) Use Tale, is copyright…

    Copyrighted material is a big deal. You must get permission from the people who own the material that you are wanting to use for yourself. Depending on the material that you are trying to use, you can get away with it by citing the material to where you got it. When you copyright material, like a picture, quote, etc., it means that the material has an owner.…

    I disagree with D. Feinman because it is not right at all to take people’s work. The author explained many things that people can do. One of the things he talked about it that people can take the songs remixing them in their own way without telling anybody. This is bad for people who worked hard to write the songs and for the singers who sang the songs. When people change the song and post it on the internet others will stop to listen to the old one and starts to listen to the new one. However, he agreed with Andy Warhol when he used the photomechanical method on his own way. He said, “Not content with copying the style or subjects of others, he used photomechanical methods to put actual reproduction of works into his creations”. This means that people can look up for certain things and change it to…

    As technology advances, the internet continues to get more congested with art and images- work from artists and photographers old and new. While the world wide web continuities to be an amazing tool in sharing work, meeting people and learning new things- it can also be somewhat destructive in terms of copyright and appropriation. In this day in age where the world is full of so many diverse styles of artists, the entire new age art industry is being challenged with the simple statement: “everything has been done”. Due to this unfortunately true fact that relevance in the art industry is loosely based on the creation of “new”, never-been-done-before work, “appropriation art” has become an interesting new form of work that many artists and art enthusiasts have different opinions on. One of the most well-known appropriation artists to reference to is Andy Warhol. While Warhol started the conversation about…

    Issues arising in regards to nominal authenticity are also very common among the music industry. Many times, some artist will take other artists music and make it their own. It may simply be the chorus of their song or the melody of the song. Often times, the original artist takes upon legal action and sue the artist whom they believed had replicated their work. Over time, the predicament of forgery and plagiarism leads to the popular display of the label copy right infringement. The copy right infringement is very common in the U.S and is seen on every CD covers or movies we purchase.…

    This paper examines the concept of copyright as an intellectual property in the digital age and the utilitarian objective which an intellectual property seeks to achieve. In that respect ‘fair use’ as a concept of U.S. copyright law has been critically analysed. An ongoing Court battle involving the dispute between Google and the Author’s Guild & Publishers has been examined and an attempt has been made to justify the act of Google under the fair use doctrine. At the heart of the work, one shall be able to appreciate the pressing need for the copyright laws to be rewritten for the digital age. Recourse has been made to numerous case law to appreciate the concept of fair use and this paper concludes by holding Google’s project of digitizing copyrighted books as ‘fair’ as it fulfills the primary aim of copyright law which is ‘‘encouragement of learning’’ and ‘‘dissemination of knowledge’’. ª 2008 Akhil Prasad & Aditi Agarwala.

    The risks of downloading music from the Internet include spyware, viruses, hackers, and possible invasion of personal information, such as your birth date and social security number. Although these risks may be present, a good percentage of people buy and download music from the internet. When these people download music, they can infringe on the copyright laws of works by composers or artists. The previously stated people infringe upon the copyright laws of the artist by downloading the work without compensating or crediting the artist. Without compensation, the artist will feel like he or she is producing music for nothing, and nobody likes to work for nothing. Everybody wants to make a profit for the time and effort they put into their work. Downloading music from the Internet is a great way for people to acquire the selected songs they want without paying for the songs they do not want. One example of this is a 12 year old boy is paid a weekly allowance of $5 and has a list of his favorite songs. He goes to a music store and sees a CD of the band that is at the top of his list. The CD costs $15 and has only 2 songs he likes. He spots another band’s CD, and it is also $15, but it has 3 of the songs on his list. The advantage downloading the same songs from the Internet is that this boy has the ability to pay for all 5 songs on his list without paying for songs that he does not like. By selecting the songs he wants, the boy has more space to buy more songs and because he is able to buy more songs, he is exposed to…
